    My father dying was the second thing that came to mind. I know death is part of life, but that moment of knowing that's it, he's gone...no more hugs, voice, wisdom, HIM.

    I've never felt such profound sadness and loss.

    The first thing that came to mind, though...a happy moment - more than one moment, really - in the realization of loving someone so much to never have any doubt about living the rest of this life with him.

    this last part. But it was the reverse. THOUGHT it was HER, but then she made other plans. Out of the emotional devastation , "I" came to be. It got me into the 12 steps for real, the desire to see things differently sometimes. And now a relationship that I am more a part of than before.

    I don't think I've had it yet, or hopefully not, because so far I have to choose something really shitty and painful (not a death though - I have NEVER lost anyone I love to death so far (only a matter of time obviously, unless I die first). I'm hoping that by the time I die my most significant moment will be a positive thing.

    Birth of my son and the adoption of my daughter. People always ask if it was different - and of course it was. A pregnancy, a birth. Versus going to an airport and being handed an eight month old baby.

    And yet it was also the same. Getting a child. Really incredible.

    That first sentence up there made me smile...sometimes out of destruction comes reconstruction...kind of ties into mysticweed's & PJ_Soul's comments too - bad shit can happen - DOES happen - but can alter your perspective over time in a hopefully constructive way.

    I hope that makes sense.

    (ps to mysticweed, I'm sorry about your husband)

    My Father passing away when I was 13. I miss him in so many ways, yet I know that's he's with me wherever I go.

    I am who I am, for better or worse, because of it (your call) and not a day goes by when I don't think of him, thank him for the time we had together, for the lessons he taught me then, and for all the lessons I have learned since Oct. 20, 1982.

    Cheers and be well amigos,
    Brian

    It's through sorrow that you can truly experience pure happiness. That's what my Mom told me after I met my wife. Wise words from an awesome lady!

    I too have been fortunate enough to not have lost someone I love to death. A dear friend of the family was lost years after we had loved each other, which, though it had a huge impact on my life, I don't think is the same as losing a person currently very close to you.

    And, yet, the most significant moment of my life was super duper shitty one. It's five years gone and I'm still picking up the pieces.

    On the positive side - one of the greatest moments of my life was when I stepped onto the Brooklyn Bridge for the first time and looked across to Manhattan. It was love at first site. *swoons*
    It was also the beginning of the best day of my life, so far.
