Well next month it will be 5 years since my brother passed away from alcoholism at 32 years old. It feels crazy that amount time has passed... I think I may have been living in a bubble the first 2 or 3 years just managing daily life and trying to get through. Other people share that it gets easier ..... I cant say I agree. Although I moved on with life and have a great life, it has not remotely made a difference in the amount of pain I feel, or the fact that he inst coming back. It…

Nine days ago I lost my other half. The 29th of this month will be our 3year anniversary, although we had been friends over half of my life. I've never had to deal with losing someone this close to me and I never knew a person's heart could hurt so much. It feels like my world was turned upside down and I don't know when it will ever turn right side up again. My chest is tight, my stomach is in knots, my head is hurting. I feel like I am on a roller coaster of emotions; torn between…

When loss hits, it wipes you out. It can be hard to get out of bed each morning no less resume daily routines. How can you make you way back while continuing to mend?

My name is James but most people call me Tommy. I am the oldest son of 4 brothers. But my story starts with the fact that there are only two of us left. 18 years ago my first brother died in a car accident. I got a call near midnight from another brother telling me that he had died. He was only a year younger than me. Of course his death was hard but in many ways it drew our family closer together. In some ways I felt like I had closure with him. Fast forward to 2011. I got another…

Q. My elderly aunt just died, and I’m on the fence about attending the funeral. I loved her, but the funeral is far away and will be so depressing. Will it really matter if I don’t go?
The big question is: matter to whom? So many rituals, which bind us together, have fallen by the wayside in our…

We will be going on 9 months on Jan. 8th since I lost my husband to a drugged driver. Sometimes I get so lonesome not only because most the time I am home alone but I miss his voice and seeing him look over at me, I miss his smile, I miss knowing that he is next to me in the bed. So many other people still have kids at home, I am alone.

Greetings my fellow Christian brothers and sisters,
I love to speak the truth and I have very serious questions that I think many believers would like to know the answer to. Can you tell me please why does God's word promise so much and yet fulfils so very little to nothing in the lives of many devout Christians, in terms of, for example: long life, health, peace, joy and happiness, etc? Instead, I've seen many atheists who live very healthy,…

A word spoken at a right time
How comforting to hear!
We hear these words of consolation
From friends so faithful and so dear
We seek to strengthen one another
And help each on his burden bear...
-Hebrews 10:24, 25

Working in the medical field, I see many things. The depression is on the rise and it's related to stress, post trauma or just a chemical imbalance.. It's sad because when not treated they end up completing suicide. I read about it the local news. We all read about it. It is happening to our friends and our families.
Even Jesus said " It you are sick go to a physician." (Matthew 9:12) Many folks do not do something until its too late. Recognize depression and confide in someone.…

My mother was a wise woman. She always said, “Something good comes out of everything.”
How she could come to that conclusion following my father’s death was puzzling. My mom was only 46 when she was widowed with four children. She raised us and sent us to college during an era when women did not work outside the home, and…

My name is Veronica Droser and I am from Boston, Massachusetts. In January 2011 my dad passed away very suddenly. He had a heart attack in our basement on the morning I was due to start work at my new job. My family has a motto which is “there are no problems, only solutions,” and therefore I have used my experience with my dad’s death as a…

What’s not to like about the holidays? The vibrant colors, favorite foods, visits with loved ones, opportunities to reminisce, and wonderful smells of the season. Holidays are full of tradition, packed with memories, and bring so much pleasure. For all these reasons, holidays can be a minefield for the bereaved, leaving them feeling sad, left out, and lonely.
Is there…

Q. My elderly uncle, who is ailing, wants to be buried with his dog in his cemetery plot. Is this common with pet owners — and is it possible? I thought that animals had to go to pet cemeteries.
Usually, animals are indeed consigned to pet cemeteries, where their owners have long…
