A friend's mom passed away this week. And it made me remember how i felt in this same month last year when i lost my father. it is really difficult to lose a loved one, especially when you're really close to them.
when my father passed away last year, i was so sad that i stayed aloof from people, even my mom and sister. it was very difficult for me to accept. it' only thanks to mylot that i have gotten used to being with people again. i was able to move on gradually.
how about you? how did you move on after this blow in your life?

I lost my father when i was in high school. I thought it will took me forever to accept one of the biggest blow in my life. Well, we took it different though. You stayed aloof to people but i was the other way around. I thought i needed guidance and someone to talk to. I made the right choice because i learned that love not time heals all wounds. There are people around who loves us and it's unfair if you continue not to let go.

I understand that letting go is not easy and one of the hardest thing to do. I know where you're coming from because I've lost a loved one too. Sometimes accepting and letting go though difficult to do will make us to be ok. Happy mylotting.

it is true that everyone has to move on. but moving on should not be forced, everyone must have a time to grieve until the pain has mellowed enough. it's great that you've never lost a loved one yet, so i hope you cherish the time you have together always. enjoy your day!

I have lost both my parents, my dad 11 years ago this month and my mom 5 years ago in April. I miss them daily and often wish I could talk to them. I am the oldest sibling, and cousin of many and so now things fall on my shoulders as now I am the older generation left living. It is strange but I cope and deal with it and am thankful for the years and times and things my parents and grandparents taught me and the memories and photos left.

luckily, until now, i have not lost any very loved one.
but i sometimes feel very afraid of it. cause i heard that some people in the same village had gone away.
my parents are older and older, while i have less time to be together with them. so i dreamed them evening and evening. but still not ask for days off to visit them, just waiting the holidays coming, and then can come back to take care of them for a short days.
i cant imagine if losing any of my loved ones. i'm afraid i'll become desperate and crazy. i'm crying now to be afraid of that. God bless everyone!
i do hope u can be well as usual, and cherish ur another loved ones, and live happily!

i used to be the same, what with my busy schedule. i always take the time to go home on my days off so i can be with them even for only a short while. time flies by, so make the most of it and try to spend more time with your loved ones. happy mylotting!
