I have been feeling very sad lately because it's holiday time and because my dearest friend just passed away very suddenly from painful bone cancer. Sandi was my "listening" friend to whom I could...

I am trying hard not to fill my every waking moment with activities leaving no time for grieving. For the first year after Max died, I was numb. I just stumbled through each day and slept as...

I have been reading many journals of Moms on this site and they give me hope. I can see I am not alone - that others know exactly what I'm feeling. I love to be able to write anything I'm feeling...

My grieving defines me and I am afraid. Before I lost Max, I was a positive person. I believed in accepting "what is" and making the most of each day. It's now been a year and a half since...

Max's death was a year and a half ago. I "found" FMO two weeks ago and the "community" here is unbelievable. I realize that I will never be the same as I was before Max's death. My question is...

When Max died, a friend gave me a book called "Healing After Loss" by Martha Hickman. It is made up of daily meditations for working through grief. I didn't pick it up for a full year but when I...

Max always did things on his own terms resulting in many good, and sometimes not so good, outcomes. He continues to teach me so many things and I am so lucky to have this connection with him. ...

I have come to believe that we are all on this planet to learn specific lessons. There are no coincidences. Our parents, siblings, life events, friends, jobs - everything - has been chosen for...
