About sorrow & loss.

Group dedicated to the expression of any type of loss, sorrow or heartbreak you've experienced.


How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on... when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are somethings that time cannot mend... some hurts that go too deep... that have taken hold. - Frodo



Tears, anger, sadness, rage, loneliness, despair, saying goodbye...whatever it looks like to you (but keep it sad, mad, and/or evocative...not silly, ironic or sarcastic please).

"There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness." ~Carl Jung
