If you ever lost someone close to you, then you know the grief you have to deal with. Those of us who have tried it will never forget it, but sharing our bewilderment of this life changing moment helps putting things into perspective.

We hope this site will help you reach that!

Thanks a lot for creating this site. I hope more will join soon. I have tried talking to my friends and family about the loss, but sometimes it is better to talk to someone who is not too close to you.

Oliviana, I am so sorry for your loss, I lost my wife 2 years 2 months and 2 days ago.

i think this site is great i am not sure on how to use it just right but this is great. i lost my son a yr ago and have really needed something like this

I lost my mom (24 years ago) brother (22 years ago) step dad ( 6 years ago) and my sweetheart 7 months ago, and I am really tired. No one should have to go through the pain my loved ones did, and it hurts that I couldn't help them. I was the principle care-giver for all but my brother,and I never ever want to go through this again. It is too painful. I cry for all of them everyday, and even though it is wrong, I wish my sweeteart was here, hooked to machines, rather than gone.

I lost my husband after an extended illness on March 3, 2009. He died from complications relating to a bone marrow transplant he had back in 2003. We have been together since 1996 and married since 2003. He was supposed to be my "happy ending" after a difficult first marriage.

My husband of 28 years.died 3/11/09 after being sick for 4 months (  as we tried to get a diagnosis from the many doctors he saw}. He spent the last 4 days in the hospital still waiting for a diagnosis. His heart stopped-  and he had a DNR order . I had thought this meant if he were in a coma on life support  don't prolong his life. I think he knew what it was but I still think he would have liked to know what was wrong with him first. Everyone inc. doctors were surprised.  I think I should have insisted they try to bring him back and talked more about it. I was there and should have lied and said he changed his mind- how would they have known he didn't? Instead the doctor kept saying it was what he wanted. I want a do-over. but there isn't any. I want this horrible guilt I have to go away. I keep thinking I should have insisted he go to the hospital at the beginning of this and stayed till there was an answer. Instead we were going to all the doctor ordered tests and eliminating causes- but it didn't go fast enough. When we were told his heart was good, we thought anything else could be dealt with. He was in heart, renal failure but still didn't know what the cause was. I asked for an autopsy so his son could know if this is a heritary  thing to look out for and still don't know. I feel like I made mistakes and could have saved him for awhile anyway. I love him so much and there is such pain now. How do people deal with the loss and guilt? I just want to die

I lost my wife and best friend of 42 years to lung cancer in July 2007. Maureen was not a smoker. So many people ask if she was. We had moved from Montreal to Hamilton, Ontario about a year before she died in order to be close to our children and grandson in Toronto. The move was a real upheaval but we expected to make new friends and see new sights. Alas, the best laid plans . . . .

I am sorry for your loss, my dad also died from lung cancer and did not smoke. It's such a terrible disease.
