WE HAVE HAD A CRISIS HERE. JAMES' FRIEND AND OUR ADOPTED SON CHRIS WERE DRINKING IN THE GARAGE. THEY HAD BEEN DRINKING FOR A LONG TIME TODAY. WHEN I LEFT AROUND 1:30 TO GET MY HAIR DONE CHRIS ASKED ME TO BUY HIM A PACK OF CIGARETTES AND I SAID YES. WHEN I GOT HOME AROUND 4:30 JAMES WAS PAST OUT ON THE COUCH AND CHRIS HAS FALLEN ONTO THE FLOOR. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT. ROGER CAME HOME A FEW MINUTES AFTER I DID AND TRIED TO GET CHRIS ONTO THE COUCH. CHRIS WAS DEAD. WE TRIED TO DO CPR ON HIM… Continue
Worried tonight. Husband went to specialist and news isn’t great. Doctor thinks he has a fatty liver. They are doing tons of blood work to find out why but doctor mentioned several reasons and none of them good. He is also scheduled for a liver biopsy to see how far the disease has progressed. Will I end up losing him like we did our daughter? Did the cancer come back? God how scared I am.
I have been riding the "emotional" roller coaster of grief since May 25, 2009 when my daughter, Angela, was killed in a tragic 4 wheeler accident. She was only 33 years old. The accident occured in North Pole, AK. where she lived with her husband. I live in San Antonio, TX which is our home town.
We were so close as far as mother/daughter relationships go. We called, texted, or emailed each other daily, sometimes several times a day. She was so happy...she… Continue
You know its so hard to imagine going through this alone. Finding groups like this are so very helpful. I am thankful that I found it last night. It was by the grace of God that helped me find it. Please know that life for me is crazy. I feel most days like I can't go on. My daughter lost her battle with AML leukemia on May 21, 2009. Each day is such a struggle.
Sometimes I think no one know the pain I feel. The tears are real, I feel so lost sometimes. Sometimes I feel like I can't rise above the pain. His photographs are placed in every room in the house. I know he is my angel, I would give anything for one more minute with him. I tell myself to be thankful he is out of the pain that the CANCER caused..... I thank God is was started in stage 4 and ended 4 months later. My pain is nothing compared to the pain he had to go through...

Last October a week after I had major surgery my mother died of cancer. It was a relief at first because she was so sick. I seemed to handle it O.K. then my father died of heart failure 7 weeks later. It was such a shock. I got to the hospital and my husband just looked at me and shook his head and I just fell to the floor. We were just geting over that and my 90 year old grandmother fell and broke her hip and passed away in May. Everytime we try to move forward, we go backwards. I have two… Continue
Hi everyone... my name is Jack... aka Minister RMB. I am new here and am looking forward to connecting and building with some authentic people. I am trying to figure this site out, so any help is welcomed. :)
Anyways, I am an artist/evangelist based out of Northern California...my music style is a blend of urban praise/hip-hop/r&b.
I am currently uploading photos, music, and even my new music video "Carry On" which I haven't even officially released yet...but thought I… Continue
I'm writing this because I'm sure at one point that I promised Chris I'd learn "Blackbird", to teach it to her- I've searched through our conversations, and can't find that sentence. Is it normal to have those moments where we think we said or did something that we didn't actually do, and realise them years later, for a fresh kick in the guts, if you'll forgive the phrase?
Thanks,
Shady

Nine years ago the clock stopped. The sun quit shining. The world stopped turning. How could it be nine years ago when it seems like yesterday? I can still see her lying on the ground, people so many people working on her. Then nothing. They said she was gone. Gone where I thought. I held her in my arms, screaming “my baby, my baby” over and over in my mind, in the air. God how could you take her? She wasn’t done. She had so much more work to do here. I need her. We need her. Am I having a… Continue

i wanted to start a program in her memory that eliminates the need for foster care,child support,deadbeat parents,and eventually poverty.
ok first put people that owe child support in school. once they have a degree a good job get your money.no more deadbeats.... and no more child support problems very soon.
start completing educations at degree levels.... given the better jobs, better living standards would rise. eventually terminating all social care systems necesity.

My husband died May 14, 2008. My son-in-law announced to my daughter October 5 that their marriage was over and moved out of the house November 7. I started seeing a counselor after my daughter got divorced (it was final March 2009). I felt I needed to know how best to help her and her children cope. The counselor pointed out that I was depressed and that I hadn't yet grieved the passing of my husband. I didn't want to believe him, but he assured me that I was in denial. Go figure.

Fathers are cast in a societal role that is different from that of the
mother. Although there are many role crossovers and although frequently
the deep strength in a family is in the mother, society expects, and
fathers themselves expect, that they be the “strong ones.”
Generally the father is the major support of the family, and he plans to
meet his current expenses, insure against the unanticipated, save for the
anticipated… Continue

Child loss brings with it an array of mixed emotions. Parents can feel anything from sadness and depression to extreme anger at everyone and anything. Some days the tears will flow like a river for no apparent reason. Other days the language that pours forth from your mouth will surprise even you. Emotions can run wild for months following… Continue

Will there be Birthday cake and presents in heaven? Will all the angels sing Irene happy birthday? On the day she was born it was sunny, clear and warm. The first time I held her I thought my heart would break from joy. This tiny bundle, so fragile was mine. Thank you God.
As the years pasted she grew into this amazing intelligent, beautiful woman, who could make me laugh when no one else could. Her blue eyes and long blond hair lit up a room as she entered. We became more than Mother and… Continue
My mom had pulmonary fibrosis. She was sick for a few years. It was funny how when my grandmother smoked, my mom would always say-I’m gonna die from second hand smoke. My mom never smoked. She died from lung disease. Ironic.I was fine at the funeral. Planning. Talking to everyone. I thought u handled it great. Now 4 months later, I’m a mess. Some days I’m perfectly fine, but others I can’t walk down the street without crying. I keep thinking that I haven’t talked to her in a while & I…See More
