well........I have been married to my wonderful husband for 15 years. he has 4 siblings, that I have, for all these years, thought we got along great! recently my father in law passed away, and the 3 girls handled everything, without consulting the 2 boys. when they wrote the obituary for the local newspaper and radio station....................my name as spouse to my husband was intentionally left out, while other spouses were named. i have been publicly and privately embarrassed by this. we went to the viewing and funeral and not a word was mentioned about this. i am hurt, embarrassed, humiliated and now angry. why did this happen? how should i handle this now that it has been weeks passed and i am very angry?
Thanks for your kind words. My brother died on January 12. He was our baby brother, our only boy, the last of five children. He was a kind, generous, sweet person, but in his last years, depression and illness, regret and hidden resentments drove him to suicide and believe me, I can't write those words without a lump in my throat. I am always that one deep breath away from a meltdown. I love him, I miss him, and I want him back. I and my sisters could have helped. He didn't tell us.
As for God, I don't know what I believe anymore. I don't trust that a soul in that much turmoil can be at peace after death. I don't know. I don't know.
I have decided that you are a fresh burst of springtime in a cold miserable winter of
sadness! Thank you just for 'being' dear sweet lady!
And Thank You for the Friendship & Caring!
Thank you for the welcome. I've been having a hard time dealing with my father's sudden passing. I think it's mostly because he left us too early in life and I'm unable to find the means to carry on happily without his words of encouragement each day. I hope that this site will help me adjust to my new life without him...

Tomorrow makes one month since my husband passed away, Life all around me is moving on and I can't seem to move. I also lost twenty pounds since January 23-2011 and didn't even know it. I can't sleep until the sun comes up and then it's only minutes at a time. I miss him so much and I have no idea how to stop the pain.

Thank you for thinking of me. My daughter who died is in the picture. She was hit and killed right before Thanksgiving.
Interestingly the police think it is suicide because dead people do not talk and the trucker wants to blame her, Her car broke down but cops refuse to put it in their report.
They came to my house bullying me and telling me she killed her self asking for a note etc.
It was very traumatic. I could not believe it but I called her sister, dad and neighbors etc to tell them what the police thought.
Now I am not so sure. It was terrible to think this and makes you feel horrible to think that.
Dianne, I am new to this web site. Thanks for contacting me. I am hoping that connecting with people that are going through the same feelings that I am will at least comfort me some. Right now I am just devastated and don't want to do anything but sit or just wonder around my house. I still can not believe my Neal is gone and not comming back. I can not imagine the rest of my life without him. Love and Hugs to you Dianne. Linda
hi Dianne thank you not sure what I'm feeling these days. It's been oct 08 I lost my dad and Nov 09 I lost my husband of 23 years. Without the Lord's strength I wouldn't be here for the heartache was unbearable.
This past December I met a Christian man on line and in person in Jan. I'm in MS and he's in TX.
Hi Dianne, Nice to hear from you. I recently lost my older sister to cancer. She went in the hospital the day after Thanksgiving and passed on December 14, 2010. She had not been sick except for what she thought was a cold; so you can see how this would be a real shock to the family. She never complained about pain, she was always in good spirits and always tried to help others by praying for them or just passing along a word of encouragement. She was the oldest of six children. My younger brother passed away a few weeks after my son's high school graduation. (June, 2004) We had been celebrating at my house and he had a chance to be with a lot of family members and friends. He was a diabetic but was maintaining it well. One Sunday evening he sat in his wheelchair, faced the setting sun and quietly left us. He was the baby boy. We are a very close family and some of us are coping with my sister's death better than others. I'm glad you responded. Please let's keep in touch. Thanks
THANK YOU FOR THE COMFORTING WORDS. YOU HAVE THE SAME NAME AS MY MOM. HER NAME IS DIANNE. YOU SPELL IT THE SAME AS SHE DID. WHY DO I FEEL ALONE. WHEN IM NOT. I HAVE A VERY LOVING HUSBAND. AND SOME VERY GOOD FRIENDS..
So nice to make your acquaintance. Your page is beautiful. I have had Grief Counseling and still ache over the loss of my Mother and Father. I took care of them both until they passed. I feel fortunate I was able to be with them until the end. Mother has been gone since 2002 and Dad has been gone since 2006 and I live in yester-year. I still wake up hearing their voices in the house. I was dubbed "the nutcase of the family." I wear that badge with pride. lol Tell me a bit about yourself. Thank You for reaching out to me.

The problem is I don't have a family! Just my doggies and that is all.
Tell me about your loss my dear? You have such a beautiful smile!
