[More]s. I not only loss my mother, but I experienced "7" deaths within an 8 mth, including the loss of a baby in the family 5 months after mom died. I felt like "Job" from the bible. All the deaths within a short period of time brought me to my knees. I almost had to be hospitalized, every time I would cry, my throat would swell dangerously and felt as if I was choking. It's the first time I experience so many death in my immediate family/friends unit and can only be described asthe worst thing that has ever happened to me and my family and definately life changing events. I will never be the same again!
I describe myself as a dedicated Christian, free spirited, kind hearted, compassionate by nature and feel rewarded when I can help a person with a simple uplifting kind word.
My passion is international traveling. I visited Paris and Lourdes (The Grotto) France in August 08' and hope to visit Israel in the near future. I have three sister, all married with children and a brother whose wife is expecting their first child at the end of July this year. It's bittersweet that my mother died in July 19th and my brother, her only son had his first child July 21st. (The circle of life & death). I'm caretaker of my elderly father (David, Sr.), who is an active 85 yr. old, and was married to my mother Cathy for 54 yrs. Family deeply grieving the loss of my beloved mother, but my mother had strong faith in God and now I am a survivor and He is my strength through this journey called life.

Just a quick note to say hi! I am very depressed and cry all the time. My mother crossed over Jan 2010 and then my best fried (Max) died suddenly April 2011. I can't get over it and I don't know what to do. I am sick most of the time and have constant phsical pain along with the emotional pain. I just don't know what to do anymore
