Beloved aunt again. I went for a ultrasound for my leg. I was asking
Her for help, because a test, no matter how minor, you can use the
Help. I went in for the test. I felt the loss bigtimebitime. I thought I
Was nervous, but then I told the tech that I lost my aunt a couple of weeks ago.
I was crying and really feeling the pain, but she understood my pain. I did get the
Test done, it was hard to get…

why do i miss her so much..Probably because this was our month the month we celebrated us being october babies together. My mom was my life her and my dad. Now she is gone and I have dad living with me which is a constant reminder she is gone. I am not depressed just sad. I get tired of people saying I am depressed and dont know how to deal with it. Well I know how to deal with alot of things they need to just back off and let me be me. I am happy I am here for dad and I am happy for all the…

Hi all: today is the funeral, or was if anyone reading this is on at night, and I tell you. I feel the loss. I coulden't make the wake or funeral, due to a medical condition, it's not major problem. I 'm ok. Anyway. I will sorely miss my sweet Aunt Rita, she was such a sweetheart. I do know that eventually I'll move on feeling better I will most likely be meeting with a priest from a local parish, it also helps to sit down with someone and discuss it,he will be able to help me get through this…

It has now been almost 5 years since the unexpected death of my mother. I have been really down and am thinking about going on anti-depressants. I am nervous about this though...I just feel like I need her so much for the things I am going through and will need her in the future. I am the oldest of four kids and have spent the most time with her out of my siblings, but I feel like we were not close and I constantly wonder if we would have been now. I am now 25 years old and just feel lost…

My daughter passed away on August 11, 2012.
This is the day my world ended. I woke up in a nightmare that I'm never gonna wake up from.
She was my best friend, my traveling partner, my everything.
She was a smaller version of me.
The day she left. Changed my world forever, my world shifted and I know it's never gonna shift back. I no longer live a normal life…

I just wanted to share that I did lose a very close aunt Tuesday Morning.
Aunt Rita, she was a very sweet woman, loved everyone, and never judged others.
I was having a mega hard time with her death, but I talked to a priest from a local
Catholic Church. I can't even begin to tell you how much better I felt. I am feeling sadness because she's gone, but the priest I talked to was comforting and supportive.
I know that lots of people in here are grieving, coming here is very…

Hi. When I was 4, I lost my grandfather to cancer. He'd worked the coal mines of the Kentucky mountains back before they had anything to protect their breathing. He had black lung and was a chain smoker. There were at least 2 others in my family who died the same way. I remember him lying in bed and the room being dark and he would ask me to get him things, small things like a box of tissues, and when I would come back, he would call me his Little Nurse. His nickname for me was Little…

My Mother and Step-daddy were both shot and killed in the house I pretty much grew up in on Jan. 23rd of this year(2015). The person who did it has been arrested and indicted by a grand jury he was arrested on Feb. 24th. but he hasn't gone to trail yet. Some times it still doesn't seem real, and I'm still in shock and just want to know why...I know there is never gonna be an answer that will, make sense or justify it or anything, cause nothing will bring them back!! I know it was over a…

Every day I smile
A smile I hide behind
My eyes conceal all that is within
The darkness around my heart consumes me
But when asked, I reply ' I'm fine'
My sense of loss, like a child looking for a hand to hold
My bitten fingernails
The feeling of falling when my feet are firmly on the ground
But when asked, I reply ' I'm fine'
The tension in my temples
The bubbling anger rising
The…

How do you go from being so sad life doesn't seem worth going on one day and the next you find happiness in the world? I don't understand this feeling. I miss my husband so much, I miss the sound of his voice, the feel of his hands as he holds mine, I miss his silliness, his sense of humor, even his messiness.
This week has been better than last, but I know that that will not last. Next week is the 2nd anniversary of his death, I know it's going to be a tough week. Last year my…
