- I've been away due to computer problems. Finally, back on. I've been an emotional wreck the past few months. Still not good. Now, the holidays are here - a week to Christmas. While I was eager earlier in season to decorate, I've hit a wall. ...
- I've been away for quite awhile - partly due to schedule and computer problems. I was planning on coming here anyway just because the grief isn't going away. It's increasing with time. Mama will be gone four years next week. I went to her grave...
- Mama's gone 3 1/2 years but today is the fourth Mother's Day without her. This past week, I've been unusually emotional - literally "kick in the gut" feelings of grief but not related to any Mother's Day ads or anticipation. My grief has simply...
- I received a call two nights ago, and a voice asked If I was "____'s" daughter. I'm leaving the name out for confidentiality - but it was a name that only one friend of my Mom's used. Mama always commented that this friend still called her by the...
- I had a hard time finding a subject line for this. How do you finally eliminate things? I lived in this house with my Mom my whole life, so that means ALOT of accumulation. She also sewed, so that means alot of fabric - and memories. I just...
- Since my parents were not together, losing Mama has been hardest on me. But Friday was Dad's 3-year anniversary. I started the morning visiting his grave and during the day remembering where I was / what happened - when. I can't believe it's 3...
- Usually, we come here to share our feelings about our personal losses. But tonight, while watching more news reports about the disaster in Japan, I had to come here - thinking of the grief of a nation - even if so very far away. Grief has no...
- Hello to you all -While I don't think there's much that's done for arthritis, I've decided to ask some questions. I'm 50 plus and noticed some difficulty with one finger (right hand) locking painfully. After researching, I think it's "trigger...
- Those who have attended Grief Support Groups locally, may have been advised (during the early stages of loss) to keep a journal of daily thoughts addressed about or to our loved ones.However, I learned that email proved to be the most emotional,...
- I just came from washing dishes - and felt I had to post this:A "Thank You". Thanks to Daily Strength for providing this group.And a special thanks to all of you - each of us, unique in our sorrow and having met only because of our losses. I'm so...
- For anyone grieving - be it months or years - this experience can happen. Be aware that this might happen: A memory - that nearly sends you into shock. It happened to me at Church this week.I was distracted by something green moving on opposite...
- This will be my third Christmas without Mama. Despite continued grief, I rushed to put up the tree later than usual. Mama would want me to do whatever I chose - and I love Christmas. I haven't enjoyed watching my tree since my cable TV is in...
- It's three and 2 1/2 years, respectively, after the loss of my parents but I find guilt sneaking up at times. Not over feeding tubes - those were the right decisions. But various other medical and religious issues - have left me questioning what I...
- When first diagnosed with what was believed to be RP or similar, I've dreaded the visual acuity test. Last time, the doctor's face was so sad as he looked at me - I thought my driving privileges were about to be removed. I'm afraid to go to eye...
- I still have what I would consider near excellent sight, except for peripheral but I think I see signs of deteriorationg. I have on several occasions noticed after leaving a place with fluroescent (???) lights indoors and going into dark of night -...
