Welcome to the Losing Our Parents Community

We have two blogs on our site and you are invited to participate in both of them (as often as you like.)

The first one is called: "Share Your Story." Based on requests and feedback from our visitors, we have changed a blog topic to reflect the true realities of life as our parents have declining health, only a few months left, or have actually passed away. Along this journey there are many people, places and things that shape what happens to our parents, to our families and to our own lives. For example, there are times when the road is flat and easy to travel. Other times the road feels all uphill and just too hard to navigate. Throughout this journey, we may be deeply thankful for people, places and things that help and we cherish these memories. There are also obstacles and issues that cause us great stress. We wish some things were different.

Sometimes we say to ourselves, "if only". Here is a simple chart that highlights this blog, and your many options to participate. We invite you to share both types of stories. "Losing our Parents" is real, and our website aims to offer real support and education. This blog has been designed to allow you to share your story, regardless of whether a parent has declining health, only a few months left, or has died. We anticipate that some stories shared here will make you cry, and yes we hope some stories will make you laugh or give you a renewed point of view. By sharing stories we will all learn from each other and know that we are not alone.

I’M THANKFUL THAT... IF ONLY...

Our second blog is called: "P.S. I Miss You". It is a place where you can write to your Mom or Dad. Express yourself - open up and let them know how you are feeling. It truly is an experience you won't forget. Take a moment and read what others have written to their parents and comment on their writings. These conversations just may change your life.

How to Blog!

Sharing your stories and thoughts is easy. All you need to do is "register" and then choose which area you want to write in. You can write to your parents in "P.S. I Miss You" or you can share your experiences with others in "Share Your Story". Immediately after registering you'll be presented with these instructions. We hope you take a moment to write here at Losing Our Parents. We know you'll find the experience uplifting.
