Maybe I am thinking too much
Have any of you that have lost a family member wondered why some people have never responded? First of all I need to set the record straight that so many people have stepped up to the plate and been supportive to me and my daughter after the death of my wife. There however are some that we have known for years that have…
I lost my boyfriend.
I lost my boyfriend to esophageal cancer on 8/18/10. He was diagnosed in April 2010 and it progressed very quickly. I am so lost. We are both in our late 40's and had a whole life time to live. We have only been together for 3 years, but dated in our early 20's for awhile. I loved him with everything I had and will miss…
Does anyone else feel like this?
My Grandma passed away on July 31st from tongue cancer. I was her caregiver, and she meant the world to me. I think I've been coping with her passing well I guess. There are things that remind me of her every day that make me sad. And there are things that will just make me laugh at old memories. Something that's been on…

The death of my mother
My mother was born April 19th 1954 in Damascus, Syria. She met my father in Syria in 1976. He was a Swedish military officer working in the Middle East for the UN. They had a classic "love at first sight" moment. My father went back to Sweden but they kept in touch. My mother joined a group of Syrian ladies traveling to…
My feelings the first month
The first week was the most difficult. The quiet, so quiet. The sudden end of activity that consumed my life for over 2 years, not to mention the interaction with my spouse for 32 years just stopped, everything, just stopped! I remember our very first conversation in April of 1975 and our last words of July 29th 2010 –…
I want her back.
I lost my mother to lung Cancer May 6th. She was diagnosed in October of last year, and went through two different chemo treatments. She seemed to be doing good, but then the mass came back very quickly, and her body was just done. She ultimately died of pneumonia. I have so many mixed feelings. When she was sick, she came…

Surviving "Those Days"
Today is Doug's birthday, one of those days that emphasize our loss. Our family went to a volunteer firefighters benefit laua last night, and we gathered together for breakfast out this morning. The laua was very nice and we had our own table. Doug had been a volunteer with the department many years ago. A couple of his…
I am not very good at this grieving business
Today is 8months since I lost my husband and I am beginning to fall apart. I have spent the last 8 months getting my girls and me a roof over our heads and getting us some financial security. We have moved into a new home and my new job is going well. Maybe its because I am not running around trying to fix things that I am…
