      Type: Loss of a Parent

      My mom died 2 days after Mother's Day(2006). I have other losses this past year which brought about too many changes.

      Treatments

      Crying Somewhat Helpful
      I cry almost everyday and some days I cry alot. I want to, but I seldom ever cry with someone. I don't want them to feel bad.
      Helping Others Working / Worked
      Writing letters and sending cards to hospice patients have helped me.
      Music Working / Worked
      I have always loved Christian music and listen to it constantly. It's relaxing to me.
      Poetry Working / Worked
      Writing what's on my heart, not necessary about my grief helps me to learn and understand me.
      Prayer Working / Worked
      God has been and is a God of Comfort to me. When I can't pray for myself, my best friend Vicky Lynn prays with me and for me. I do again strength from prayers.
      Reading Working / Worked
      I read and study the Bible. Right now I am doing some Beth Moore's Bible Studies and Kay Arthur's. It's help alot because I feel myself getting stronger as I learn to trust God more with my "heart.
      Remembering Somewhat Helpful
      Sometimes the memories just makes me sadder because I won't have any new memories of my mom or my other friends and family that have past these 2 years.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      Some family and friends I thought I would have as a support system haven't been there for me, but that's okay because I mainly concentrate on the ones I do have. My 2 best friends have been super, especially my Ethel, I'm her Lucy. She takes the time to at least try to understand me and what I need and makes the sacrifices to be available when it counts the most and forces me gently to do things when I am too "caught up" to know what I need to do.
      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      Only on this site do i vent, and most time I keep it pretty private. I am a "stuffer" -don'y fsare cry the way i want to-and have a difficult times venting, really crying. I need to work on that. It's hard facing feelings like feeling rejected, abandoned, or even feeling angry with those who are no longer here, especially my mom.
    • Close Sexual Abuse

      I was touched as a teen by a "godly" man, my daughter was raped by a close family friend. After 5 yrs. we are still serving time when he served none.

    • Open Adoption

      My daughter is my niece by birth. I brought her home at 4 days old. She is now 19 yrs. old.

      Treatments

      Music Working / Worked
      I brought my niece home from the hospital when she was 4 days old. The adoption was finalized when she was 27 mos. Her birthmother is my sister. I knew from the time I was 9 yrs. old that I wanted to adopt and I would tell the child. My daughter is now 20 yrs. old and is married. Sometimes I think it would have been better had we not known the biological parent. There was alot of drama. As a single parent, I often felt guilty that I am the one who stood in the way of her being adopted by a couple who could have provided a million time better than I could, but I could not bare the thought of her not being in my life.
