About Me:
I am married with two teenage children. My life has been about as normal as one could ask for, with a few exceptions. I am a teacher and have experience as a teacher in the mental health field. I enjoy music, traveling and being with friends and family.
About my Loss:

My birthday

I hated my birthdays after the age of 22. Honestly, I thought birthdays were for young people waiting to become teenagers, turn 16, 18 and 21. Over the years, I whined and at times cried on Feb. 23. I remember a couple birthdays my mom called me and I just said "uh, thanks, you know I don't really like celebrating my birthday." Wow, did those words come back to haunt me. Yesterday, the biggest voice of my life was unheard. No phone call from my mom. I did receive many calls, birthday wishes and… Continue

Thank you so much Cynthia. Your pics are uplifting. It is amazing how a stranger with a kind thought can make me smile.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the kind thoughts and wishes. I am leaving for the week from my dad's to go to my home and will return on Friday. I do not have the internet at my home only here. Have an awesome week as well, and live for each and every moment!!!!!!!

I wish we knew for sure what exactly happens after death. But in reality, all we have to go on is faith. No one knows for sure but I will tell you that I have found comfort in the fact that I believe my brother and my father attempted to contact me after their death. Do you trust your intuition? Do you listen to the voice within? I think we all should.
I wish I could reach through the computer screen and give you a hug. It is so hard, I know.

I'm kind of in the same boat, sort of. I take care of my grandmother, her husband (my grandfather) passed in 2001. It's been so hard because she has dementia and you just never know what to expect. I would love to have my own life but right now I feel consumed with her life. Anyway keep in touch and if you ever just want to talk, leave me a message.

I'm sorry for your loss. Feel free to post some pics and share some memories, I too have experienced loss and sometimes it just helps to share.

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

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.
