Losing someone you love is painful. Grief is hard, arduous work. You are exhausted emotionally, spiritually, physically. You will never be the same. But you will be. The question is, how?
"Become a survivor by acknowledging the small steps you take toward healing," says grief expert Nancy Weil. "For one person that could be mowing the lawn for the first time. For another, it might be grocery shopping without tears when you pass by your loved one's favorite food. Each small success is a moment to savor. It is an indicator that you will survive, that you can do more than you ever thought you could. Inside of you is a strength that you may have never called upon before, but now that you need it, it is there to carry you through."
Here are some other thoughts to help carry you through...

Hello everyone,
My name is Myra, I lost my son in 2008, I am still greiving. He was only 39. His death was from an accidental overdose of medication prescribed by his physician. The one being taken off market and is a patch. I hope my writing to the FDA, the congress and senate helped get it removed.n
I lost my 28 year old son only 3 weeks ago and I don't know if I can live without him.I thought maybe somebody else out there is In this same fog that I am in .I just keep thinking this is a bad dream and I will wake up soon and everything will be back to normal

This comment is to Shirley, I lost my son on June 2, 2014. It crushed me, I cried and cried because he was here one minute and gone the next. I loved that boy and I will never forget him. He died of a vain in his head breaking. You will think of him every day of your life but the hurt in your heart will ease as time goes by. I try to remember of the things that we use to do together and that some how makes me feel much better. I hope this helps you Shirley.........,grant
My son passed away June 29, 2014 this is a possible homicide. I need help in how to go on with my life. How to get out of the clouds, out of the funk that I am in.
Loss has been a part of my journey but it has also shown me what is precious.
Know I am looking for joy...life is grey and mundane, but i know it will pass...I hope it is in my lifetime!
We Wonder Why
It's difficult to understand
why one would take their life.
Only God can comprehend
a soul so racked with strife.
Life brings many challenges
and some just cannot cope.
The intensity of their suffering
causes them to give up hope.
God knows their heart and mind,
the hurt and pain they've known.
He'll take them in His loving arms
as they return back home.
