I Have Lost People I Love From Cancer


Their absence becomes a part of who we are and for the longest time, it will be the thing that defines us. I am the girl who lost her mother....
I don't support Kubler-Ross's 5 stages of grieving, but I do like your posting (I don't believe in putting people into classifications). You may be that girl as you stated, but you are also a loving, caring, wise individual who has grown through that loss. I am sorry for your loss too. Words cannot really comfort. That has to be the most eloquent quote about death that I have heard in a long, long time. Thank you. I will keep it close.

Sent it. You should have it in your inbox by now.
@diablesse: Yes, it is there, and thank you, dear heart.

I'm so sorry. I know how much she means to you. You are a beautiful testament to the woman and mother she was. You were lucky to have such a wonderful mother and role model, and I know you're that for your children as well.

I really was lucky to have her and who I am is mostly due to her. I have had plenty of time to learn to live with that absence.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my grandpa that way and both of my parents are gone. Remember that they never die while in your heart.

It was 23 years ago. I've had time to learn to live with it. Losing a parent is never easy.

I can't see the image here either, hmm.

It's a quote by Elizabeth Kubler Ross. "The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not "get over" the loss of a loved one, you will learn to live with it. you will heal and you will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but, you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to be. "

Aww. Thank you for sharing that.😚

And I don't go along with the five stages of grief either. Human emotion can't be put into a box or structured so tight. Especially grief. That's the thing with science and Psychology, they think they have everything figured out. NOT.

I agree.
