Sylvia's Story - Getting through Grief and Loss


"My Roy died last fall after a long battle with cancer. We knew that the end was near, and Roy had taken care of all of the practical matters like life insurance. He had even called the funeral home to arrange his own funeral! That was the way he was. Always took care of things.

What he couldn't prepare me for was the pain of losing him. The sadness was like a wound that would not heal. I couldn't eat or sleep. I couldn't focus on anything. I don't know what I would have done without the support of my friends and family. I joined a support group where I met other ladies like myself, and heard lots of helpful advice about what I was going through."
