Grieving the death of a loved one takes time.
Grieving the death of a loved one takes time.
Dear Daddy, To my pilot, my hero, my sweet father, this day is for you. What an honor it is to be your daughter. Your service and sacrifice will never be forgotten nor your bravery and courage. All gave some, some gave all so the many men and women like you will always be remembered. I’m so glad ...
To My Father, When I was a young child I truly believed you loved me and we shared a special father-daughter bond. As I got older I began to question the true intentions of why you ignored my sisters and openly admitted I was your favorite. You were manipulating me into thinking I was special to ...
To my sister-in-law, I know we aren't on good terms and haven't been in years. I know everyone thinks I'm just mad at you, and I am. But what I'm too embarrassed to admit is that I was extremely hurt by what felt like rejection from you. My own sister had mental health issues and treated me horri...
Dear Brother, I never got the chance to tell you how I honestly felt before it became an impossibility. You hurt me by failing to take care of yourself. You were the older one who taught me most of what I know. You also taught me this negative habit. I struggle to take care of myself every day no...
Dear Dad, I can see the pain you’re going through and sometimes I wish you didn’t live so far away so I can have “daddy hugs” on the daily again. It’s been about 10 years since you left but I still miss you all the time. I know and understand the reasons why you had to leave. You had to live your...
Hey There Lover, here you and I are, sharing a page. I wish we could share a hug again but you were so very dead by now. When you died you asked for me, and I couldn’t be there and I am so so sorry. I didn’t get to be there. Most nights I’m up and often I think of you until it’s too late to sleep...
I have had several people in my life die. I had felt a connection to them in my backyard. When I need guidance or missed them I will go into my backyard and speak to them. I have many times asked them how I should handle a situation and I truly feel like they are listening and they will guide the...

Hi Friend, I'm writing because there's something I want to get off my chest. I don't really know how to talk about it. Four years ago my youngest brother died in a car accident. It's destroyed my family. I've never felt so lost in my life. What I've never shared with anyone, though, is that I sti...
Dear Friend, It's been a while since we last spoke. I hope all is well with you and the family. I do know it hasn't been easy during this period of corona which has hit the world for more than five months now. I write you this letter to also share my experiences of my struggle with the coronaviru...
Dear Best Friend, I hope you have been able to stay safe during this pandemic. It would hurt me immensely if someone I cared about or loved would be hurt or killed from catching the virus. Even much more than that, it would hurt me to know I unknowingly infected someone else due to my carelessnes...
Dear Grandfather, Even though you are gone, I wanted to spend a few minutes to thank you for all the love and selfless devotion you gave me for so many years. Since my father was never around, you became our surrogate, and now I realize that you were, in all important ways, my father. I rememb...
TO MY BELOVED LATE HUSBAND, LAST WEEK WAS TWO YEARS SINCE I LOST YOU. CONTINUING ON WITH LIFE WITHOUT YOU HAS BEEN SO DIFFICULT AND SO PAINFUL. FREQUENTLY I SEE OR HEAR SOMETHING THAT REMINDS ME OF YOU, AND ALL I CAN DO IS BURST INTO TEARS. I STILL YEARN TO ONCE AGAIN HAVE YOU HERE WITH ME. T...
Dear Dad, It's been over 30 years since you've died. Yet there are important thoughts about you that I keep to myself. My sisters can guess, but I've never had the heart to spell it out. For them, decades of distance have enveloped their memory un a fog of nostalgic memories that obscure the ...
To My Beautiful Blonde Twin, (Remember when we first truly met, it was because everyone thought we were twin sisters? I miss you terribly! Rarely does a day go by when you're not in the forefront of my mind. I still grieve your family's loss. I live for the loss of you in my life. For so many ...
Dear Daddy, I just want to tell you how sad my life has been since you died. I’m glad that for 8 years after Mama died you came and lived with me. I didn’t always realize it, but it was such a pleasure and privilege to have you here and be able to help care for you. I wish you had not been a smok...
Dear Mom, your birthday just passed, and it was so surreal to think about it. It felt like good timing - a chance to celebrate your beautiful life just a couple months after your death... But it was also really hard. I had to be friendly & welcoming & social, and I was really struggling, I miss y...
To The Baby I Never Met, I wanted to be your mother. I was so excited when the doctor told me I was pregnant. I already had two daughters and was excited to have a third baby. You were due on Mother’s Day in 2003. I counted the weeks of pregnancy, ticking off each day like one step closer...

Dear Friend, Sometimes my thoughts clog my mind. Do you ever have that happen? When I can't share something in my heart, it just seems to weigh heavier on me. Two months ago was the anniversary of my brother's death. It's the first year I haven't been able to be home and spend time with my parent...
My Dear Friend, It was a wonderful time we had in our school days. We enjoyed playing in pools, parks, and in our school independently. Those days are nostalgic now. I have a 7-year-old daughter. She is not allowed to ever go outside, touch anyone or even our parents are not allowed to see her. I...
Dear Little Sister, I've been thinking so much about you lately. Thinking about what a terrible sister I was to you. My heart aches for all the pain I caused you. I hope that one day you will know how much I loved you and love you. When mom left us and you were just a baby, I was only six year...
To my Mom And Dad, I know you are back together again which is the only comfort I have because life is so hard without you both. All those special occasions, my wedding day, the births of my babes, they were just so difficult without you here. My children are still so young, they would have lo...
