  1. I remember losing my uncle at a very short age. He died of a heart attack and left behind his wife and daughter. It has been several years now, but I can still tell that the loss of his life has greatly impacted the family around me. We will always love Uncle Ronnie and never forget him.

  2. The loss of a loved one can be very hard to take. It leaves a void in your soul that never really fills again. Years after the loss you have moved on, but things are never really the same. Loss can be devastating, or it can be a growing, maturing process.

  3. of loved ones, of a sense of self. A feeling of emptiness like something belongs there, but it’s missing. So different from lost which implies a chnce to find yourself, your way, whatever went missing.

  5. i have suffered great loss

  6. Loss feels icky. It can happen in a game. It can happen with family or friends. You can even lose things you own. It’s not a fun feeling and I don’t like it around my life. I guess sometimes loss could be good…like weight loss. But hair loss isn’t!

  7. every turn in the road felt like the blind horison of the mountain. Never within reach. Every calorie felt like a revolving door

  8. loss makes me think of all of the loved ones I have lost. I see their faces and I wish they were here. That loss of mine has torn me apart and left me missing them with everything I have. I know no greater loss than that.

  9. tab er alt hvad der fylder når det får lov tab er kontrol mangel på tab er mangel på kontrol tab er gaver tab er håb tab er sorg og insigt tab er også skønhed og feelgood og tab er noget vi gør når forelskelsens sommerfuglevinger basker tab er ontrol og tilgivelse og det at tillade os selv at gøre netop dette – tabe . Med værdighed. med frustration. Med nydelse og lidenskab. Tab kan ikke defineres før det er forbi. Tab er fantastisk og gør uendeligt ondt og kun når vi taber lever vi for alvor – rejser os som fugl Fønix og finder nye fjer at tabe, nye marker at fjerne os fra og attter engang må vi bøje os i støvet og or heldigt et liv at få lov at tabe – værdighed og masker og andres respekt og egen selvagtelse og igennem bålet af tabte tillider genfinde forlægst fortabte børnesind med uskylden hængende ud som vingeskudte fuglefjer uden farver og figur og tjuble : Jeg har tabt ! Jeg har vundet!!!!! hvor dan skal jeg nogensinde slutte denne sætning uden at tabe tråden – hov der tabte jeg igen undet! Hurra for tabe og for tiden til at tabe og det det tabte land og alt hvad der følger med det tabte land – mælketænder i bjerge – jeg har v

  10. Toss reminds me of all the piles of papers that accumulate if one has an aversion to tossing out anything.Have you ever tossed out something only to need it the next DAY? I think I need to make a renewed effort to toss out more or as comedian George Carlin stated one can be engulfed by “stuff!”

  11. we lose things all of our lives. the worst is the loss of a loved one. grief has no timeline. there are 5 stages, and no one can say they go in any order. anger, denial, acceptance, I forget the other two… loss is part of living. love is why it hurts.

  12. Hate it! I hate to lose. Sam just lost her pjs last night (in a store!?@) and I am so sad for her. Are there other shorts? Yes, but those grew with her. They were mine and she loved them. They were faded and loved and now gone. Not the worst loss, I know. Loss on any level hurts.

  13. I experienced a profound loss when my dad died. The loss brought about a staggering amount of various memories among my brothers, sisters, and mom.

    Jeanne Dionne
  14. Whenever I hear the word loss, I think of losing puppies. But is losing a puppy really the end of the world? What about losing a parent or family member? a friend? a job? a significant other? or, worst of all, losing your sense of self?

  15. Loss is a systematic process someone experiences as they continually make wrong decisions prior to a person leaving. It is a subconscious decision to be alone without the support of others.

  16. Is unbelievable lonely you miss that person so much it’s like there is a constant hole in your heat that will never heal. Writing theses words makes me pull the hole and the sadness,

  17. The loss of her dog had a huge impact on her. She couldn’t get over losing Balley and wondered how the grief would leave. That dog gave her so much pleasure, and helped her get through tough days. Balley will just have to live on in her memories.

  18. This is a powerful word, because much loss is sadness. It may be the loss of a love, the loss of someone special to you, or the loss of a dream. It could also be the loss of something you WANTED to lose – -like weight, or misconceptions.

  20. I was at a loss for words when I won the award for the most improved student in the class. I should not have been surprised because I had been working very hard to improve my grades. I know my parents will be very proud of the award.

  21. when someone dies it is a great loss. It’shard to come back after a loss like that. people lose pets and feel a similar loss. a part of you is also lost when one you love passes away.

  22. I felt my heart tearing out from my chest. A face streaked with snot and tears. As my hands run across the cool stone exterior I can almost remember the time when he wasn’t laying underneath the earth, where he was here, in my arms, when he told me goodnight, before he left me to die.

  23. What is loss? Loss of a friend, a pet, a colleague? Loss of time, freedom, the love between a husband and a wife? Loss can be a positive or a negative. Loss builds strength.

  24. We often feel the loss of normalcy due to Michael’s disabilites. As he is a twin, we have a daily reminder of what could have been. We have come to terms with our “new” normal; I wonder if we’ll always feel the loss.

  26. a family member. It is a moment in time that you will never be able to retrieve. Hair. reputation. A loss of words when words are needed. Friendship. Time. A system of belief being held by those drowning in fear.

  27. Loss is when you can’t win in a game. We feel defeated when we have loss. Loss can be losing a loved one that you love so dearly. Sometimes we are at a loss for words like I am when writing this response. Loss is when we can’t do what we intended to do.

  28. The sudden and unexpected loss of my father has opened a wound so deep that i have truly not even begun to grieve. So many unanswered questions, things to share and ask about. Hearing of the loss of my good friend, Karen’s father yesterday kindled the fire under my simmering grief. I quickly put a blanket over that fire to continue life.

  29. a pain that doesnt go away,when you feel hopeless at timesyou like it at times you don’t…sometimes it could be good, like you are at a loss because your husband left..I would have done the happy dance…anyway…a loss is more than a baseball score…it is a time to reflect and move on!

  31. Losing my mother was the greatest pain in my life. She was everything to me. A powerful woman who made the best of every situation. A leader, a learner, a compassionate being fighting for the underdog. Her love for our family and the way she included others in our intimate circle made her a person everyone wanted to be with. She is the guiding force of everything I do. I hear her voice every day. I imagine her arms encircling me. I strive to make her proud.

  32. Loss means sadness. It can bring a strong lperson to his knees. When you are living with loss you are barely living. Sometimes it can even stop life. You can just sit and time goes by.

  35. Some people lose things all the time. I have been losing stuff as of the past 2 years. I lost my keys about 3 times in one month and worried I might have alzheimers. I mean, my grandfather had it, and it does skip a generation. I will probably have it too. Lately I don’t lose thing, I just misplace them.

  37. It is incredible the feeling I have every Christmas when I think about my mother’s passing. She and I didn’t see eye to eye every day or on very many matters, but I can’t help feeling I want her around. She fought with my dad every day and was bitter and deceitful at times,

  38. It is empty. It is a reality. Sports, life, my keys, and my mind. We experience loss on a daily basis. Antonyms speak volumes when we think about gains. Loss is not optional; however, our response to loss is a,choice.

  39. The word loss brings up images of my parents. That is and was a huge loss for me. It serves to remind me that we are only on this earth for a brief while. I don’t look forward to the loss of many other loved ones, but it does bring me comfort knowing where they are going.

  40. Loss makes me sad, because I think of things or people I have lost. I lost a favorite necklace and aunt. I lost a friend to cancer.
