Translation

Daughter:  "Are you sure you want to go home?  Why don't I just take you home with me?  I can bring you back anytime you want me to--I promise.  I'm just worried about you."

Me:  "No, Honey--I'm fine--really!"  (Oh, god, don't let me convince you I'm ok!  The last thing I want in this world is…

Missing person

Even though my grandmother has been missing for 5 years it still doesn't seem real sometimes. The day she went missing was definitely the worst day of my life. That day plays over and over again in my head and blocks any of the good memories we had when she was still here. That year was so difficult, my life just fell apart all at once. I never let myself grieve properly, because I thought I needed to be strong for my family. I've hid my sorrow, sadness, grief, anger, and despair for so long… Continue

Still grieving

My mother always told me how impatient I was. I guess I just thought I was another one of her concerns about me. But no she was right the whole time. Cause since she has died (11/24/2013) I have been wanting to wake up and have everything be normal again. But in reality it's never going to be again. I am always going to think about her and miss her. I feel Ike the more time goes on the harder it gets. Feels like everyone just thinks I should be over it already but all I do is not think about… Continue

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day! To all members here that are fathers.  For those of you that have lost your father, I just added a new blog post on the Home page. I hope it is helpful to you today.  Please share your favorite memory of your Father.  I just did in the chat room, but I'll add it here:

One of my favorite childhood memories was of my dad singing, "Summer Time." We were in our backyard pool; he was sitting and I was standing on his knees looking down into his eyes.  The old…

Will it always feel like this?

So i guess this is where i talk about how i feel.

Here it goes.

I haven't gone a single day without thinking about him since April 28th, 2014, when i found out that one of my closest friends had taken their own life. A single bullet to the head stopped one of the biggest hearts from beating. I remember sitting in class and reading the message over and over and over. Praying it was some stupid joke. Oh how i wish every day that it was a joke. I couldn't handle it, i didn't know…

HOW GOD BLESSES BROKEN HEARTS

The above title may be confusing to you at this time.  After all, you’re probably thinking, ‘My heart is broken in a million pieces over the loss of my loved one.  How can God bless that?’

I remember feeling that way for a while, myself.  But, I’ve been blessed to be a member of Saddleback Church for many years before my husband passed away in 2004.  Pastor Rick Warren eloquently paraphrases from the bible, that God’s ways are not the ways of the world.  I don’t think I really…
