There is an old song whose lyrics go, “I'll see you in my dreams, hold you in my dreams.” So many who have lost a loved one wish for this to happen. I remember going into work one day and being called to a friend’s office. Her father had died months before and tears were streaming down her face as she told me of her dream the night before. “He was there. My father stood in…

Kissed by an Angel- Why did God make lightening bugs?  My last post of the poem I got from this same page...this I found as I read further and I've actually smiled.  Felt guilty, how could I smile?  But I swear sometimes if you don't have a little laughter in your life you will go insane.  I learned that much when my mother was terminally ill..actually I grew up in a family who just often had a bad timing for humor…

"I'll lend to you for a little time, A child of mine," God said, "For you to love while she lives And mourn for when she's dead."

"It may be six or seven years Or twenty-two or three, But will you till I call her back, Take care of her for me?"

"She'll bring her charms…

This may sound crazy but I AM IN NO WAY STRONG!!!!!  Further it makes me feel like such a hypocrite when I hear friends tell me, and they are meaning it as a strong compliment I understand, that I am an amazingly strong woman, and such "compliments".  If they only knew!  It worries me that they may be getting a misconception of me as someone I'm not.  The person they are seeing is merely someone who is either silent or pleasantly agreeable simply to avoid conversation that might lead me to…

My husband collapsed and died 5th August 2010.   We were on holiday in a cottage in Yorkshire - no help.    The autopsy confirmed a catastrophic rupture of an aortic aneurysm - there were no warnings and he was in good health (we though).   They say he would have died instantly and even if they had had him in intensive care they could not have saved him.   He was, quite simply, my life and we were together 24 h/24.    I cannot get over it and just wish to be with him.    I pray there is an…

"There's this place in me where your fingerprints still rest, your kisses still linger, and your whispers softly echo. It's the place where a part of you will forever be a part of me." (Gretchen Kemp)

Q. My husband died two months ago and my family says I should join a bereavement group. They’ve already found a group in my area. I don’t want to go because I don’t want to listen to other people’s sad stories. Am I just being stubborn as my brother says?



A. The question isn’t whether you’re stubborn or not. You feel the way you feel. It’s important to resist pressure from others to do something you don’t want to do. Some people find bereavement groups helpful,…

Wednesday marked Ash Wednesday, the start of the Lenten season. A year ago in this blog I embarked on what I knew would be a long road: learning to let go of what I couldn’t control. My goal was to work on something that I struggled with in daily life, a task that would make me a better person by the outcome. I still remember my friend Jennifer saying to me that if I figured out exactly how I was going to do it, to let her know. Quite honestly, at the time I didn’t know what I would…

I've heard people say that emotions can be controlled.  I never believed it before and now I definitely do not.  We can choose what we do with our emotions and even that sometimes seems questionable to me

It's been almost a month since Andy passed.  That seems almost impossible.  To me I'm still going through the process of finding him, I'm not even sure I've accepted he's gone.  The Funeral is over and for so many life is back to normal and I"ve not even come close to the thought of…

Is it possible to grieve for someone you don’t know? When they announced Whitney Houston’s death, I felt a deep sense of loss. I never saw or met Houston but I loved her music. Her songs were the soundtrack to many milestones in my life and I felt so sad at the tragic loss of so much talent at…

The most absurd apology for authority and law is that they serve to diminish crime. Aside from the fact that the State is itself the greatest criminal, breaking every written and natural law, stealing in the form of taxes, killing in the form of war and capital punishment, it has come to an absolute standstill in coping with crime. It has failed utterly to destroy or even minimize the horrible scourge of its own creation. ~Emma Goldman, Anarchism

Good lawyers know the law; great…

I'm sorry, everyone, but although it's been a little over 2 yrs, I still want my beloved Dad back!!!  I miss him terribly & since my 93 y.o. mother is in the same nursing home he was in, it kills me to visit her 3 times a week!  She's coherent, can feed herself, is aware of everything, but what will I do when she passes??????  I need help but don't know where to turn.

Thanks for listening.

I recently lost my dad, and my family's superman on Dec 5, after he battled lung cancer for 2 years. Why did he get lung cancer is a question I ask-he didnt even smoke! He was a great husband, father, friend, Man! He was a hard worker, man of his word, man of great Faith! So why did he have to leave us?I recently lost my dad, and my family's superman on Dec 5, after he battled lung cancer for 2 years. Why did he get lung cancer is a question I ask-he didnt even smoke!

Today was my second day back at school, it was horrible and I don't feel like I can do it anymore but I cannot afford to start paying my student loans. My first class today was the same class where I first got a phone call from Tim's father telling me Tim was dead. I couldn't walk in the building for almost an hour. I sat outside alone sobbing, no one even approached me. I felt invisible it made me so upset. I kept thinking that Tim would text me and I could tell him what happened and he…

A little over a week ago on Feb. 7th, my boyfriend Tim of 4 years died. He was 21 years old, he was my everything. The day started out completely normal, I left mine and Tim's little apartment for work in the morning, he didnt have to be into work until later. I had a lot to do that day (work, school, doctors) and he promised me when he came home that he was going to rub my feet. I kissed him goodbye not knowing that was the last time I would see him alive. Throughout the day I would sneak…

 As I grieve the loss of Cody I thought of ways to remember my son and continue to pay it forward just like Cody always did for a lot of people with his kind heart.

I have created a fundraiser in Cody’s honor to cover funeral expenses for other parents who have…
