on 12/1/2009 I lost my brother two and a half months a go. I honor his life every day. My family is learning how to cope with our loss. It has brought us closer together and now my parents have more of an understanding of the gay and lesbian community and want to donate thier time in my brothers honor. I think that is amazing!

on 11/16/2008 After losing my mom and then my grandmom, I felt I couldn't have needed a mom more to help get me through it. It takes time.

on 5/6/2008 I lost my best friend to suicide 2 years ago this coming June. He had just turned 22 the month before hand. So much goin on his life, always wore a smile and had a warming heart that you'd think there was nothing bad happening in his life. Through the grieving process you are right, I had all the emotions: Anger, Shock, and depression. It had taken me a long time to get to where I am today. I think about him ALOT. He had his own computer business, he was EXTREMELY talented at fixing the bugs in our computer world. Sometimes people may even have dreams as such as this, I had it a year ago and remember it plain as day.
It started out a weird dream, but then became "normal" I guess you'd say. In this dream I had known he passed away...he appeared and came and sat beside me, he was wearing this same exact yellow button up shirt of the last picture that was taken of him his grandma gave m

on 4/26/2008 Whenever there is a loss, people go through a "crazy period," when they are anything but themselves. You have written a good and important message.
