My mother is presently dying of cancer. In a way it's killing me as much as her.

Saying goodbye is so hard.

Answer 2

Yes, my Dad died 17 years ago, my Nephew died 8 years ago and my Mom died last year. All made me feel sad that they were no longer with us ( I felt horrible for my brother and sister in law, he was only 17) but my Mom's death hit me the hardest.

"theist" Did I spell it right?

Answer 3

yes my mom. 3 years ago. but what is really sad i personally think she is not in heaven with the lord.but it was her choice and in life ALL choices have consequences.some minor,some major, and some eternal.

Answer 8

Several people.

It was sad, to say good bye.

But, I know I will see them again.

Each of them seemed to have accepted death, knowing that they were going to a better place.  Somehow, I knew that too.

Answer 9

Yes, and I don't have to spell theist to relate it to this section.  I lost someone I loved because of my values.

It still hurts, but the peace I have is not matchable.

Answer 10

Yes...my father, my mother, my brother. It feels like ****. But you deal with it.

Answer 11

Of course. It's devastating, and eventually, the wound heals.

Answer 12

I'm old, so yes: Many times in many different ways.  

Answer 13

Yes, though I don't know loss the way others do.

There are many different types of lost--Death, a friend who has strayed from you, etc.

In the end, it all felt the same to me--a sense of despair with the struggle to understand the meaning of letting go.

Theist.

T-H-E-I-S-T

Theist.

Answer 14

Answer 15

ir felt horrible, like soemthing was 'wrong' in my life and would never ever be 'right'

Answer 16

Yes, and one particularly bad. Feel like? Like a large part of me ripped out, and it hasn't returned.

Edit: How can the guy below me say only the young haven't experienced loss? I was only 24, the one lost was 27. Does that count? Some kids even lost a parent as a child...

Answer 17

Only the young have not experienced loss.

Unfortunately you shall experience loss and you will then learn what it feels like.
