Profile Information

About Me:
I am the oldest of three children. We grew up in Upstate New York, and the only death I really remember was that of my grandmother, when I was 15 years old. At that age, I was able to cry, and grieve the loss of her. The loss of her was great.
About my Loss:
My mother learned about three years ago that she had cervical cancer. She had a hysterectomy and received chemo and radiation. They then said that she had gone into remission. Periodic scans eventally showed spots on her liver. On about the third day of chemo, she broke her hip. That's when they learned from a biopsy that the cancer was in her bones. She lived for about three months after that, I visited her about a week before she passed on Oct. 1, 2012.

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

"Professional help gives you a safe space to talk, understand your emotions, and learn healthy ways to cope. It can make grief feel less overwhelming and easier to manage over time. https://www.ambrosiatc.com"

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
