Pictures are helpful as heck. Before I abandoned FB again ( don't get me started ) built a photo memorial to Dad. My sister's family ignored it- not one 'like' over there. Be a good purchase-by-donation feature here, somewhere to have photo albums.

Anni, I so agree. After my birth father passed away, his step-daughter sent me pictures i'd never seen before. I have them on FaceBook in case my children ..... well, lets just say, I agree with you.

Thank you to my friend for calling me safeway. As I was typing my new nicname, I thought of that and had to laugh right out loud.

When my grandma died my mother and her sisters gave me a bunch of pictures to make copies of. As I loved my grandma, you would think that I would have been even more depressed to have been going through all of them. There were some of them when she and my grandfather were young. I didn't feel depressed, I felt connected. It took me a long time to do all of them, but I got them done and put them into albums for each of the sisters. They didn't expect that part. I think they appreciated it.

I always look at that time of the pictures as a gift of love, not only to them, but to me.

I am missing my son who I lost four years ago to a motorcyle accident. I miss him so much. He was such a character and always calling me. I miss seeing him and he used to make me laugh.


I miss my brother who I lost to lung cancer three years ago. He was close to me. It is very sad.

Gizmo, I am so so sorry for your losses. Both terrible losses. I always hate clicking like when I see such sorrow. Cause I don't like it happened, but I like that you are able to express it. So many times we tend to hold stuff inside, but I've learned this one thing in my life: when you can talk about the person, it helps you to heal.

A few years ago, my dear friend Michael talked me into talking about myself. To just let people know why I'm hurting was never easy for me. He even planted a lilac tree in memory of my children. Each year he sends pictures of it in bloom. Last night, he teased me and ask if I want him to take up the tree. I said it's for all the lost children, not just mine. He gave me a telephone hug and said he was joking.

Gizmo, even though he is not lost, he is with you in memory and spirit. For all the children not with us, that tree is dedicated.I'll send you a picture when he sends this years. (Right now it's under a lot of snow).

I miss friends - whoever I have left, it's Christmas and I haven't heard from any of them except for "likes" on Facebook.

I am missing M, my friend that died recently.

I am still grieving for the loss of some other people too, and that is hard and complex to explain.

I miss my dad almost 13 years ago he went home.

At lease he is no longer feeling the pain and distress of what ever it was that took him form us.

I miss the little sisters and brothers that I spent my childhood protecting.

I miss my mom the most. I miss the dad I wanted, the one who would have called to see how I was doing after my surgery. Well we can't make people who we want or need them to be.
