Tell us about the one(s) you lost

One of your posts led to this one. Sometimes we don't talk about our loved ones. People either don't want to hear, because the loss stings, or because it is uncomfortable for them. So tell us. What do you want to say about the person/people that you lost?

I lost my mom this past February.

Tact is for people who aren't smart enough to be sarcastic.

It is so hard to loose someone you LOVE.


About five years ago I lost my fiance' and to this day I still miss him.


Hang in there hon and know you aren't ALONE...WE all are experiencing losses.

How are you and your kid's coping?


I hope you have someone close by that you can talk to..it helps.


You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My grandfather left us on December 14th, 2006. He had terminal cancer, so we knew he wasn't going to be with us for much longer. He was with us on Thanksgiving and didn't look so good because he had begun chemotherapy to try and prolong his time. He didn't react well to chemo and opted to stop. We were still trying to find out the amount of time he had left and what other options he had to prolong his life, when he had a stroke and was rushed to the hospital. He couldn't move, but within hours he regained his strength. The next day, he was still doing well. Then he woke up and had lost use of his one side. Ultimately, we had

Hi, I am new here. My name is Barb and I lost my brother John to suicide on November 10th. It was actually the 9th, but they pronounced him on the 10th. He was 35 years old and had lived a life of pain and anguish due to sexual abuse from our mom's father. On a Tuesday night in October he decided he had had enough and took his life. I was newly pregnant at the time and I think the shock and stress was too much for me and I lost the baby. Yesterday was so hard. My poor mom cries all of the time and I don't know what to do for her.

My brother John was abig quiet guy. He always had a smile and a hug or handshake for you. He was the kind of guy that blended into his surroundings and would only talk when he had something to add tot eh conversation. My husband and I say how "John was just always there". He was in every part of our lives and in my kids lives. He came down once a week to watch the boys with my mom. My youngest, Danny 2 1/2, would wait at the top of the stairs adn scream Johnny, Johnny Johnny while he waited for him.
John was a pure soul, with a huge heart. He couldn't understand why people would hurt each other and couldn't bear to watch the news if it had something to do with a child getting hurt. He loved animals and took care of all of the animals in the family. He loved music and had a beautiful voice although it was rare to "catch" him singing. He astounded us all with his vast knowledge of lyrics. If you didn't know the words to a song, you could bet he did.

John was awonderful brother and uncle and I wish I had told him that more often. He deserved a better life. He deserved happiness. We were best buddies as kids. He taught me all of my curse words, lol. We grew up, my 2 brothers and me as each otehrs best friends. There was only a year between each of us. He was my big brother and I cannot believe he is not going to be in my life anymore. I miss him so much.

Deborah my sweetheart,


Thank you so much for acknowledging my post about my mom. You are soooooo very right as she was one of a kind. My siblings and I were very very blessed to have had such a wonderful women as our role model and our mother.


This weekend we have my nephew's engagement party and both my sister and I along with my nephews think about how she would of loved this day. She always said that she wanted God to allow her to live to see my nephew get married. We don't always get what we wish for hu?? But I know that she is looking down and she will be with us on Sunday in spirit.
