My Father

Caitlin

I am writing to express the loss of my father in May of 2003. It is hard to believe that my father passed away almost five years ago. I am writing today, five years later because I am still grieving. I was 17 when my dad passed. He died unexpectedly due to the complications of lung cancer. It happened a week before my senior prom. I wish my dad could have seen me graduate that summer. I wish my dad could see me now. It was hard to finish off my senior year, and graduate, but I did! It is so [...]

Buying and Selling Cemetery Plots

We all have planned for our immediate futures. What about our passing? Most of us know what we will wear the next day, what we will eat, and where we will sleep that night. We plan for retirements financially and plan our medical care by putting our money into markets and insurances that help us live life when we need help. What about our final arrangements? How do we plan for a time when we won’t be here anymore? Who helps us put these plans on paper and ease our minds? Where do we turn f [...]

a lesson from Job

bws

I've kept a journal from the time I was a teenager, seems like yesterday. Over the years, my children picked up my journaling habit. We call them, "letter's to God."
in my letters over the years, I have thanked God for each child he blessed me with. I have five daughters in all. Even though two of my girls have Cystic Fibrosis, I always felt and still feel blessed. My oldest daughter, 23, went to be with the Lord on [...]

How can I make a decision?

kissiefur0604

My father is dieing of emphysema. He has been on a ventilator for so long that the hospital had to trach him. I know he does not want to be hooked to any machines to live, but if he's not on the ventilator he can't breath. His lungs are too far gone. I know he is miserable like this. He floats in and out of conscience. One minute, he is aware and responds. The next he is gone. This is the hardiest thing I have ever had to deal with. My heart breaks to see him laying there with [...]

Loss of My Brother

fudefamily

I came to this website hoping to find some help dealing with the death of my brother. You see he was a good man, always happy, always active helping other and just enjoyed life tremendously. He was murdered by another man that was on probation for battery. It is all so senseless and my family and I are having a really hard time dealing with his loss.

We never got to say goodbye,
You left me, but I never knew.
Five calls I missed, no message left,
No more ‘I love you, see you soon'.

A super Mum, a generous lover,
Gone so fast, just like our time.
Eighteen years, was it that long?
Don't worry D, God won't condemn.

I saw your star on Friday night,
Shining bright, it's then I knew.
You left for good, I hope you knew,
You were [...]

My daughter

MamaBren

Ana-Alicai ran away on 9/14/07, the day after her 17th birthday. She is a beautiful, smart, loving girl. She is also an addict. How did this happen? I blame myself. After I divorced her father she and her sibligns were never the same. Yes, I left an absive marriage, but I damaged my children in the process. I was so broken at that time, I didn't see their pain.

She is gone, has not been heard from or seen since, took to bus t [...]

Empty life

MamaBren

Every day I wait to see if this day I will return to the world around me. I see my granddaughters almost every day. They are the reason I am still going on. I am living every parents worst nightmare and I will never wake up from it. Almost every day I am also told by well meaning friends and family that I have to "stay strong" or some other similar remark. I want to scream and let everyone know that I am not strong. A huge part of me feels as if it al [...]
