Grandpa died due to the fact they fucked up with surgery...

Lost my mom 2 years ago.. She was 49 when they discovered lung cancer.. She used an medicine that was still not complete so it was for study. My mom accepted it so that she could help them to complete the medicine for in the future. Because of that medicine she had 2 years to live instead of 2 weeks.
I'm thankfull for the doctors that made the medicine, because we had more time to still have fun with her.
But after 2 years the medicine lost its effect and my mom became immune for it. After 1.5 week after the medicine lost its effect she passed away..
Her ashes are still with us. We gave her a special place in the house and till the day we are know living in, we burn a candle everyday.. Miss you mom.. 15-04-11 you were to young.. I love you..

I'm really sorry to hear that your mother died at that age. At least she gets to live for another 2 years :')

First major loss for me was my Grandad 4 years ago. I had lost my step grandparents when i was younger, but due to my age it never properly sunk in, where as this was a completely different feeling. The whole time, i just had a massive feeling of guilt that i couldve made more of the time I had with him, and that it wasn't real and next time i walked into my grandparents kitchen id see him sitting there as usual.

i haven't really lost someone yet, or at least someone i'm really close to, but i was about to lose my father this year due to depression. He disappeared, leaving some messages to us, and we really didn't know where he was. we gathered everyone (mine's a big family, i only have a sister, but a LOT of uncles/aunts) and called him/searched for him. turns out he was at a train station not too far from us, so you get what we feared could happen...

what hurted me the most, is that in the previous days he spoke with one of my aunts, and he thought i didn't love him anymore, because he broke up with my mother. i think that's because i'm not that type of person that hugs everyone and stuff like that, i'm a little closed, i open up only with my friends... i obviously love my parents, they sacrificed a lot for me so i thought he KNEW that...
that got me so angry i wanted to punch him when he came back. but i think you guess how things go, i ended up crying like a baby.

I lost my father to a heart attack when I was 12 years old, alcoholism and a chefs' stressful workday had worn him down. It took a lot to get through the initial bulk of grief, because despite the alcoholism he was a very kind person who loved his family, he was just insecure and used booze to make up for that. It really didn't help that the bullying in school intensified after that, I had always stood up for my friends who got bullied, physically and verbally, but no one stood up for me. Despite that I don't regret standing up for them, you shouldn't let assholes change you. But it really hurt to hear that "my dad didn't die naturally he committed suicide because I was a horrible daughter" from the bullies, even though I knew it wasn't true.

Last year I lost my uncle, alcoholism played a much larger role in his death. While being on a bender he had ignored an infection in his tooth, he was extremely unlucky and it turned into a flesh eating disease that started killing living tissue in and around his neck. There were a lot of going back and forth to the hospital for two weeks, as the doctors never expected him to get through it, but he somehow did. After a year of living with the aftermath and still drinking, his heart gave up too. The hardest part about that death was having to fly to Spain to tell his parents, my grandparents, in person.

Death is a horrible thing and you don't really understand how final it is until you experience it yourself in some way. What got me through all of it was my family, being there for them and them being there for me.

When I was little, I lost my grandfather to a heart attack. A few years after, I lost my grandmother to cancer. As I got older, I lost my great-grandfather to cancer. I've lost my Uncle Mugs and Uncle John to heart attacks (they weren't really related to me - just close with the family. John especially. I was devastated.). I lost my Great Aunt Bunny to lung cancer - and I lost my grandmother (her sister) to breast cancer, lung cancer, and brain cancer. I then lost my cousin Traci to breast cancer. I lost my Uncle Butch (my dad's brother) to cancer, and I lost my friend from high school to cancer.

Two years ago I lost my father to his heart condition, my Aunt Janet (my mom's sister) to brain cancer, and most recently - I lost a friend to suicide.

The two most difficult deaths I've had to face was my father and my friend. Neither was expected, it happened fast, and my heart breaks every time I think about them. I can talk about them freely and smile, but when I think about their death, how it happened, I can't speak, I choke, and I cry for hours at a time. I stay up late at night sometimes thinking about my mom. She had breast cancer, but the doctors caught it at such an early stage that she didn't have to go through the treatments, and a simple surgery saved her life. I always fear it's going to come back and that she's going to be taken from me.

Death isn't easy. It's such a hard thing to deal with and if anyone needs someone to talk to about it - I'm here.

I lost my grandmother in january 2010. It was horrible. I felt akward because a part of my life was missing...God knows howw I didn't give up everything...

Both my parents died when i was 15 its still making me sad every night its so hard to lose em both in 1 time every night im crying and being sad and wondering why i am still on this planet

I lost my best friend about 11 years ago next month. Him and his family died in a car accident. They were my second family and I saw them every weekend. It was hard and it still is around this time of year when it comes close to the day. I just do stuff that we loved to do together and it helps me think of the good times and get through it.

I didn't technically loose her... but my Mom.
She disowned me 2 years ago due to her drinking problem. She couldn't afford to pay for me and her liqour, so she got rid of me.

I still love her. She's still my mom.


I miss you, Mom. :\

I have lost, in the past year, 3 family members. My grandfather first, 73, then great grandmother, 98 and my cousin, 3, . your not alone.

I've lost 2 years ago my best friend and last year on my b'day my stefdad on suicide

I still feel empty without those 2.

I lost dog and my grandma at the same month. My dog died due to messed up surgery. My grandma passed away due to an unknown reason OR diabetes.

I lost half of my dads side of my family in one year. It was so crazy it ripped me to shreds because I knew each and everyone of them so well. My uncle due to cancer. Grandma to diabetes, Aunt to cancer, my other uncle that's French due to cancer and natural causes, 2 of my cousins in a car crash, and my favorite uncle because we shared the same name from a car accident when I was 14 (1 year ago.) At this time life was so ridden with death I wondered why it had happened. If everything served a purpose then what purpose took greater role than life? All that happened that year still scars me.
