Hi

I’m so sorry for your loss. You have been through a lot with the loss of your family members. A couple of days ago I lost my mother and last year I lost my brother. It’s not easy but what gives me comfort is knowing that both of these people were good and I know that they are in a better place and they are no longer suffering. This gives me lots of peace and comfort. My brother left behind a young wife and three beautiful kids. He was suffering from a long term illness and by the family knowing this help with the next steps in preparing for his departure. My mother died from a rare form of cancer and she was diagnosed within two years ago. It was only known to a few folks at the time of diagnosis. We had our differences but she was my mother a mother who was loved, a mother who had the biggest heart. My mother’s birthday was yesterday. It was difficult for my daughters and grandchild. They left voicemails with loving wishes and my grandson sent her a beautiful birthday card by text. Listening to her voice on the voicemail just brought tears in my eyes. Knowing that I will never see her again. I know in my heart that my love for her will continue to live. My grandson just found out that his great grandmother will be cremated. It was difficult to explain that next week he will not see her in a casket. After we explained this he understood. My grandson has ADHD, high functioning autism , liver disease and a rare heart defect. He is my heart hero and he is such a brave caring pre teen.

im so sorry that you have experienced so much loss in your life.  I’m glad that you shared what you are dealing with here so that others can respond.  I know it may not feel like it, you are not alone in dealing with your grief.  Losing a parent is one of the hardest losses you can experience.  That pain may never go away, but it does get a little easier over time.
