dealing with grief

[lisaob1]

its took me so long,i mean so long to cope and deal with the loss of my daughter..she was 4 when i lost her in 1996,its hard to believe it was so long ago...i never thought i would feel ok at one point..but now,i want to say to others who feel at a loss...keep strong..its ok to move on...i wish i done it years ago,but im here now...please,to everyone...loss is so so fricken hard..but its not the end of your life,it is the end of the one you love and cherish..but it happens to us all...life is for living...your loved ones would most definitley want you to be happy...life is too short...do whatever it takes..dont try to find ways to make it better...just be better....live life be happy xxx

I lost my son in '99 and my grandson in 2008, and while life does go on, there will forever be a void in my life and heart.  I'll never know the happiness I did before my losses, it hasn't debilitated me but there are always two empty places during the holidays and many other reminders of what once was.  People who meet me would never guess the pain I feel inside as I put on a good front, and many call me "happy go lucky", I'm very private about my pain, and losses, so except for close friends nobody would even have a clue, but inside I'm a mere shell of who I once was.
