Hi Kasey06. I read your story today and I really felt for you. I too lost several people. I lost my Mother who was my best friend & the only person I could rely on May 5, 2001. I am the second of five children. My sister who was the oldest & I handled most of the arrangements. A week later my sister & I started handling things for our sister who is mental retarded. I was the executor of my mothers estate. My sister went along with things while my mother was alive, but once we started taking care of my sister she wanted to take over. Well my sister & I got into a arguement & we never spoke again. My sister passed away from breast cancer 11-27-02. I was so heart broken to learn she had passsed & did not tell my brothers or sister she was that bad off. Then I lost my father 6-14-04. So I know what it's like to lose everyone you cared for. It's not easy for me even after all this time. Not a day goes by that I don't miss my mother or wish I could go back & change things with my sister. I recently moved a year ago to another state because things were too hard for me. Every day is a struggle, but I know I'll see them one day. Take care I hope things get better for you.

Hi,

I lost my mother & best friend May 5, 2001 to cancer. Her illness was very sudden. She was diagnosed in February & left us in May. My mother & I was very close. We were together everyday & talked on the phone when we weren't together. Althoguh it is almost 4 years I still feel lost and alone although I have 2 children the lose of my mother has left an empty place in my heart. I still have days of deep depression & I don't think I can go on with out her. Everywhere I would go would remind me of the times we spent there. So my answer to that was to move to another state. I moved 2 months ago & still find myself depressed & missing her. I don't know where to turn to since I'm in a new city. I find myself having problems sleeping & health problems. I know I have to be here for my children since my youngest is 13 & really needs me. But sometimes it's so hard because my mother was always there for me to listen & give good advice, now I have no one to turn to. I just hope things get better.
