Is this description ok? We are mourning the loss of someone we love?

Question

I wanted to start a forum to share memories of our lost loved one. Could this be offensive at all? besides my grammar being horrid, what do you think? (i've blanked out the names on yahoo answers for privacy reasons)

This Group is to share our memories of ------. Memories help us to smile again. ---- was such a special person, with a sweet heart. I remember when we were little, for his birthday I bought him a toy from the dollar store with my very own money, . When he went to play with it for the first time it broke. I felt horrible that I couldn't have bought him a better gift, but I will never forget what he said to me "It's ok that it broke, ----, it's the thought that counts." Those words from him have never left me, it showed me his genuine heart.

I lost my sister in 2006 and I have realized since losing ---- and ---- that mourning over someone is a lifelong process. To help us through this journey we NEED unconditional love, sensitivity and to feel like we and our loved ones haven't been forgotten. There will be days when we feel angry, days when we feel happy, days when we are sad, days when we don't know what we are feeling and we just need to be loved, someone to say "I love you, and whatever it takes for you to get through this I'm here." Losing someone you love is a pain unlike any other. Quite often people don't know what to do or say to someone who has lost a loved one. I'll answer that question. Only a few, if any words are needed, we just need to be shown love. Sharing happy memories is ~love~

So please share your memories of ------

Answer 4

Sounds like you're dwelling on the death of your friend.  Don't drag other people into your need grieve.  People grieve in their own way and you are trying to make people hang onto their pain.  The best tribute you can give to your friend is to live well.
