Death - Loosing someone you cared for

[Sikky]

When Cancer reaps you of someone you cared for. My ex-husband died this afternoon. We were really good friends if not the best friend I've ever had. Im so sad, empty and dont know what to do.

Im glad to have known him for he was funny and wonderful. Im sure there was a reason that I had to meet this man and now he is no more and Im still empty and empty. Just cant stop crying.

Wow (suprised version), I feel sorry for you dude (not sure if that word can be used for girls). This may not feel good but the best thing is to talk to your friends/family about it.... In some cases that makes everything more sompler and can increase the "love around the house" .

In the situation you're in, I can honestly say that I don't know how you feel. Hopefully we can help you cope with it.

It hurts. Just went through it this past weekend. My wifes ex husband passed Saturday night.

You will stop crying when you are ready. Be open, happy and receptive to any and all condolences. Try to remember the good times, as well as the bad, and make tomorrow better for yourself and everyone you contact.

As I said to Blizzard, best of luck. Not much else can be said.

My sister died of cancer and of course it to was heart braking. She had a 15-year-old daughter and a son who was about 2 years old at the time. The cancer spread throughout her body until she was covered in tumors. When the doctor found out that she had cancer he told her that she had about a year to live. True to his word, she died of it in about a year’s time.

I remember her smoking a cigarette and telling me at the hospital that it wasn’t going to kill her now.

We passed some roses that had been placed in the hospital lobby and I had told her to stop and smell them. I was trying to make sense of everything I guess, and precious as she is; she stopped and smelled them with me. One of the last things she asked me was if I sometimes felt as if God was punishing me for the wrongs I had done. She must of felt that God had done this to her for some reason, and of course, stupid as I am, I fell to understand this at the time and said yes, that I to sometimes felt as if God was punishing me. I wish I would had time to think about my answer but looking back, I realize that I was telling her how I felt and not what I actually believed.

I was told that her husband told her to let go and she simply passed on. She was only about 33 years old and by the time she died she must of looked 65. Cancer is truly a terrible thing.

Her name is Denise. She was so pretty. Heaven is richer now because of her, but of course, my world is that much colder. We had some good times and she was always there to help me out. She was and will always be someone special to me. Hopefully I’ll see her soon!

So here’s to you Denise… Deep in my thoughts and heart!

The best is yet to come.
