Losing a Dear One....I can't even tell you how hard it is.I lost my Grandma about a couple of years ago.She was this Wonderful,Caring woman who had sooooooooo much for the Family....Got separated with her man at an early age and moved out with the children !!!! you can't even imagine how hard it was. The ordeals that she went through,was amazing! she didn't ever let that bother her children.Because of her,Everybody achieved something in their life. While she was alive,she was this most fantastic lady who took care of everything for us...and then one day,she was Gone.Everything changed.But still,she lives in our Hearts.

I was very close to my grandmother, and when she passed away I had such a hard time dealing with it that I completely let myself go for about two years. I drank constantly to try and hide from the pain, and for weeks at a time I could barely be bothered to get out of bed. It took a long time to heal.

I lost my cousin when we were 13, i say we as she was the same age as me. We were born a month apart and grew up together like brother and sister. She had Cardio Myopathy (Hole In the Heart)I was never the same after that. what made it worse is that the doctors missed it in early testing. When the specialist finally picked up on it, it was to late.

My grandmother had expired just 2 years ago. I was having my exams so i could not even see her for the last time. I was sad and happy both because she had cancer and I had seen her sufferring a lot. My grandmother was a very active lady who used to do her own work but, the last few months of her life was very harsh. i still miss her sometimes and whenever I see a thing made or given by her I start crying and I feel as if she is near me only.

I am sorry for your loss. It is really a terrible thing to go through and I wish that sort of a thing doesn't happen to us at all.

its very hard even for thinking . Every one in the world have to feel these things in their life ,better we think in one way that they escaped from this faulty world and prey to reach to heaven where they can find a peaceful life

My childrens dad was killed in 94 and I had 5 children by him. We were together for 17years. It was a very painful experience, and even today it still hurts to talk about him, etc. It hurts the spouse, but I think it takes a worse toll on the children, for it is harder for them to let go. My love for him will never die, and I still hurt with him gone, but I try to go on. I do wonder alot though, what "if", and where would we be today,,
