Hell Week

This blog post will sum up some of the events leading up to my mom's death, in particular an especially emotionally damaging week that I'm still having difficulty getting over. Warning: this will be long. 

To say that my parent's marriage was never easy would be an understatement. In the 22 years of my life before my mother's death my parents had separated and reconnected at least once a year, separation lasting sometimes as long as 2 years. When I was in high school my mother…

Intro

My mom passed away 19 months ago from triple negative breast cancer which had spread to her lungs and brain. In the couple months before she passed, my parents' house had burnt down and in addition to losing the house and a lot of our "stuff", the hardest part was that my two cats succumbed to the smoke from the fire and passed away curled up with each other under my parents bed. I was away at school at the time and found out via phone call. We were so lucky my parents escaped relatively…

Lump.

Finding a lump on your breast. A moment that takes your breathe away. What do you do? Where do you go? Who do you talk to? I cried. Hard. Not because there is a slight chance that I may have breast cancer but because I had no one to talk to, no one to go to. My mom passed away nearly 1 1/2 ago. I cried in my car after I left the doctors office. I'm scared and alone. All I want is the warm hug of mother to protect me from all of the hurt. I don't know what's going to happen. One thing I do know… Continue

How do I carry on alone?

4 months ago today I lost my husband of 33 years to cancer. I am falling apart and not sure how to carry on alone. We met when we were only 15 and had been together since. Now at 51 years old I am left here to try and carry on without him. How do I do that?  I think I have been coping pretty good but some days are worse than others. Today is one of those really bad days. I was just wondering if anyone has any words of encouragement that may help me get through these bad days. Any little…

Hello, I am Sad

Hello, everyone, I am Sad.....I joined this club I hate of "widowhood" about 8 months ago with no warning.

W e would have celebrated out 40 anniversary in Feb. with a party, instead it was a party for one with lots of memories and more tears and more what now.

 

My husbands death was unexpected he was fine and talked to me before I left for work, never realizing that last kiss, touch of our fingers or look would be our last...The alone that followed, the fog that has yet…

Lost the Love of my Life

On January 12, 2014 I woke up to a nightmare. My husband of 29 years had passed away that morning. He had been sick for a few years with Diabetes, and was on dialysis. He had just been placed on the transplant list last november. We were so happy, for once things looked like they would work out. He went through many ups and downs with his health and was in and out of the hospital the past 2 years. He was recovering from a broken hip and was doing really well. We went to bed one night. We…

I am lost and feel like Death is tearing me apart

Let me start off by saying that I am 33 years old. When I was 16 my dad passed away. His birthday is Feb 6th. I have 8 brothers and sisters and 33 nieces and nephews. So we decided that we would have a surprise birthday party for him on Feb 9th. We had a wonderful birthday party and celebrated his life. It was just 3 hours after we all left and he had passed away watching Jackie Chan.  At 17 I was dating this amazing guy and had no clue he was depressed. It happened 6 days before…

Lost and alone after the death of my husband

I lost my husband last year on September 18th just 6 days after he was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma that had spread to his internal organs. At times I still can't believe he died. We had just bought our home and we were in the process of doing home renovations. Grant, my husband, was only 43 years old. He started having some abdominal pain that would not go away. We thought he has strained a muscle in his abdomen or had developed an abdominal hernia. On Thursday September 12th I took him… Continue

My wife left me

I had just moved in to our first apartment with my new wife. We have just gotten married and had celebrated our one year anniversary. Very soon after we moved in she seemed to have changed a lot. She became very cold and distant towards me. I wasn't even allowed to touch her in any way. She spent all the time with her abusive friend who treated her like garbage. I was always trying to do stuff with herbut she never showed me any kind of attention.1 Friday evening I got a text from her while she… Continue

My Love My life

I lost my wife and soulmate on Nov. 21st, 2012, to lung cancer.  It's been a year and 55 days and it still feels like it was yesterday.  She was 12 years younger than me and I have heart problems, so we always thought it would be me to go first.  I was worried about her, if she would be able to handle my death, and the next thing I knew, it was all different.  She was hardly ever sick a day and she was very spunky and full of life.  In Aug., 2012, she became ill, and in Sept., she was…

Hi Everyone,

I was here about a year ago when my daughter passed away on 12/14/12.  I guess we've been going on.  I still miss my baby so much.  She was 42 and left two great grandkids. Sometimes I think she is speaking to me and I want to beleive that she is. I wish that I could explain to my co-workers why I haven't gone back to work yet.  I wish I could explain to my siblings why I can't deal with loosing my daughter as well as they think I should. I have been bitter and went to my…

Not only did I lose my wife on Oct 3rd this year, I also lost my father on Oct 13th. I feel horrible because I always talk about my wife but fail to mention my father. Me and him were very close. When I don't think of my wife, which isn't often, I think of him. I was there for his last breath at the hospital. He beat throat cancer, had a quarter of his lung removed a couple years ago. In March, he fell down the stairs. They removed a large portion of his skull and didn't think he would make…
