My wish on your Birthday
My Dear Wife, The only wish I have is for us to spend this day with you. You are missed by many. We love you!!! Nick, Stephen, and Steve.
Cindy.... thinking of you everyday and every minute....... that's all I have to say
I think of you all the time. nOTHING MORE I CAN SAY....
The Silence
is relentless. The sounds of a home are long gone. Friends and family have gone back to their lives. The love that lived here is fading and now it's just a house. The memories are here but they have become muted without her voice to remind me of what was. Nine months without the sound of her laughter. I try desperately to…
I need advice....
Hello everyone! I need some help... my husband lost his mother to lung cancer at the end of July. This has been very difficult on all of us! My husband was very close to his mom! She was the type of person who never judged she tried to make light of every situation and my husband could call her for anything and now she is…
Widowhood is a very dark lonely place
I have not been on this site for quite some time. It has been 7 mos. since losing my husband to Liver Cancer. So much has happened since but not a day goes by that I don't wish he were here with me. We would have been married 40 years which seems like to long ago yet just like yesterday. I was only 17 when I met him and…
Can't stop crying---just want to write
We are home from the hospital. We have hospice now. I'm probably the only person who has ever said this but I HATE HATE HATE hospice. Oh, they are nice enough and helpful but I hate strangers in my house, trying to hug me though I've only known them an hour, talking to me about things I don't want to talk about, telling me…
Coming up on one year- what to do?
Well this time a year ago my father was just placed on hospice, and he passed on September 6. While I have taken that day off from work and am having a Mass said for him and my mother (her birthday would've been September 13), besides visiting them at the cemetery, are there any other ideas out there? How do people handle…
Rough days
It's been rough. Since the day David was admitted---a week from yesterday--I've been going arounds and around with the staff about how much medication David was not getting, especially the pain meds. It was a problem because he can't swallow them, especially the extended release morphine. I finally actually drew a little…

My mom/everything/best friend passed away June 2012 from GBM IV
Hi,my name is Christi and I am 28 years old. My mom had me when she was 20 and I always appreciated having a young mom as I thought we would both grow old together. I never wanted to have to live without her. My mom was and still is my best friend, everything, other half and my biggest cheerleader. She was everything to me…
Strange dreams about my mum.
Mum had breast cancer for about 28 years before she finally died 8 years ago at the age of 90. I adored my mother, we took her and dad shopping every fortnight for about 17 yrs. Even though she was 90 when she died, I was totally shattered. It doesn't happen quite so much now, but I have weird dreams about her. She's alive…
Back again.. back in the hospital.....back here on grief and bereavement.......
On Wednesday David's home health care nurse said David's left lung sounded terrible and his oxygen saturation level was in the 80s so we went to ER. They did a chest X-ray and admitted him with aspiration pneumonia. Said it can get bad fast. They also did a CT of his brain and at first the nurse read the report and told us…
Things Do Get Better
Things do get better. At least for me they have. Doug's birthday was yesterday. The moment i woke up in the morning i knew what day it was. Yes I felt sad and lonely, but I was ok. I didn't hide out for the day, isolating myself. I acknowledged to myself that it was a hard day, harder than most, but after almost three…
no more chemo..probably
Well, I'm back again. I am probably going to be a regular here since I am having a hard time (just like everyone else) and I need a place to say what I'm feeling without breaking my family's heart. It adds to their pain and grief when they see me crying and miserable. I try to keep a grip on my emotions but it's taking a…
