My tall beautiful creative Lisa died on Aug 11, 2009 of pancreatic cancer. It’s been 3 months and I cannot seem to move forward. I’m not OK and I resent having to say to people that I am OK. I realize people want to be kind and I want to be kind also but I’m [...]

Thank you Shirley! My family is preparing for yet another loss. My nephew is dying, in the end stages of cirrhosis. Unfortunately, another victim of drug and alcohol abuse. He is only 30 years old.
My brother who rushed to my side when I was losing my son, is just beside himself. He, a [...]

Hello Angela,
My Mom passed away on October 13, 2009. I think I’m in shock still. She also had rheumatoid arthritis, her hands were so crippled, yet she did everything. I cry every time I get into the car, all the way to work, back home again, everywhere. I try not to cry in front of [...]
