  1. Hi It must be so hard for you. I lost my mom just over 6 months ago from cancer and my dad has had cancer for about 4 years. My husband's mother has severe memory loss and his dad has cancer. It just does not seem fair that all this is happening to people so close to me. I live in Ontario Canada and there are great local support groups for people who have lost someone close to them. I find it very helpful to talk to people face to face as well as these great message boards. Please take good care of yourself. Karen
  2. Hi Kelly Thanks for you kind thoughts and comments. It must have been very tough your mom not being able to share in all the joys of you having your first child. My mom was very close to my daughter that is 12 years old. I have a son too but he is now 6 years old but I think he was too young when she died to understand completely. I am going to a coping group which I find very helpful because I am the type of person who needs to talk about things. I think not being able to call my mom up and talk to her everyday is very hard. One thing that has happened since my mom was diagnosed with cancer just over 2 years ago is Idon't take people for granted. My dad and I have become closer since my mom died and I have really made a point of calling him everyday. I still find the hardest part is trying to explain to my daughter why this happened. She asks questions frequently which I encourage but I find it tough but I know this is good because sometimes she hold things in. I hope today finds you doing well and make sure you take good care of yourself and enjoy your baby. Karen
  3. Hi Everyone My mom died just over 4 months ago and I still miss her so much. My daughter was very close to her. I still find it tough trying to answer her questions when I am having a hard time dealing with it. My family lives about a 30 minute drive from me and I cannot just not go there whenever I want to. I have 2 kids to look after and my youngest is only 5 years old. I find I have to keep busy lately and I have not been sleeping well but I have so much energy. Can anyone relate to this? I have asthma so I have to be careful that I do not overdue it. I never thought it would be so hard. We are so luck to have the internet available to us with these message boards. I remember when I was much younger and my grandmother died. There was no support then and I think you were just expected to get over it. I remember it was hard. I was 17 years old and I was very close to my grandmother. thanks for listening
  4. Thanks for the comments back. I am still having a difficult time. I know it can take a long time before it gets easier. I am going to a grief group and I find that helps because I can talk about what I am going through. This last few weeks have been difficult because of mother's day and it would have been my parents anniversary on May 10. I find I am having trouble staying asleep. I seem to wake up in the early morning and then am wide awake. I keep hearing this is normal but it makes it hard to function the whole day because I get so tired so early. thanks for listening Karen
  5. Hi I lost my mom on January 26,2005 to cancer. She enjoyed Christmas of 2004 because she was having a good few days. However, from then on it went down hill. She suffered a seizure just after the new year and had a few okay days but then she just got worse. My daughter was very close to her so it has been very tough. I find it hard to deal with it myself never mind trying to help my daughter. I am going to a grief group in a few weeks so I am hoping it will help. I find I go through phases where I am not sleeping well but I have heard this is normal.
