 I don't want to sound like a depressed soul, but I am still grieving over the loss of my parents. I lost my dad unexpectly June 30th of 2005 (will be two years next week) and my mom unexpectly died November 2, 2005 ( 4 months after my daddy). I was very close to my parents and miss them terribly. I still find it very hard to believe after two years and wonder when will it get better. I still cry every night for them. I was recently in the hospital and had emergency surgery and wanted to call them so badly so they could tell me everything was going to be alright. I know in time it will get easier, but how do I handle it in the mean time. Any suggestions, any books you can recommend I read or anything else I can do to try and ease the pain I still feel so deeply. My family is still feeling the loss as I do. I guess I am writing this email as I was looking through the forum and thought about the anniversary of the passing of my parents and was wondering if there are others who would like to express the loss of someone and how they have been handling it. Some times it helps to hear of similar situations and it helps to talk about it to others.

Tonya,
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my grandmother, who practically raised me, a year ago in April. My grandmother was in poor health, so I knew her time remaining on earth was limited. Losing a family member is painful but losing them when you least expect it must be devasting. I miss my grandmother. I miss her everyday. When she passed, a friend gave me a wind chime, which I hung on my front porch. Everyday when I walk past the windchime, I brush my hand over it, making it chime ring and say "I miss you Nana." I cant believe this is making me cry.
I know that my grandmother is in Heaven, watching over me. Everyday I try to make her proud, often sharing cliches with co-workers that my grandmother shared with me....Like "Lord fill my mouth with worthwhile stuff and nudge me when I've said enough." Knowing that she is free of physical pain and watching over me makes it a little easier for me. I will definatly keep you in my prayers, asking the Lord to wrap his comforting arms around you during this difficult time.

| Toyna, I am so sorry for your loss and your sadness. My Dad died April, 20 2007, his death was sudden, my Mom followed him 3 weeks latter, she died from cancer. We were preparing for my Moms death and all the sudden my Dad died, after his death she went down very quickly. I know how you feel losing both of your parents, I am still trying to grasp the fact that I will not have either one of them to share my life with any more. The only thing that gives me comfort is that I know that they are together, every time I think of them and begain to cry, I pray and thank GOD up above that I was blessed with such wonderful parents, it really helps alot. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Pam

Pam,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I know the sadness you are feeling. It is a blessing that you had wonderful parents and that they are together. It is a sad feeling to know that they are not here on earth to share in your everyday life, but a wonderful feeling to know that they will always be with you in your heart and will always be there watching over you. I will pray for you and your family to get through this very difficult time. Tonya

I am sorry to hear about each of your losses. I know that any loss is hard. Fortunately i have not had to deal with the loss of a parent or close grandparent. I have had to deal with the loss of my mother in law suddenly and i know that was hard enough. She was killed in a head on collision days before her 41st birthday in 1998. I know it has been a long time, but it is still hard to believe she is gone. There are times i even think i see her driving down the road or in a crowded area. I know my husband has had a really hard time with her death. He isn't one to talk things out and i know it is worse keeping it inside. I think that you guys are all on the right track by talking about your loved ones and finding out that you are not alone in dealing with this. Prayer is also a true help. I pray that each of you has the peace of God that passes all understanding and the strength you need to make it thru the hard moments.
Michelle
