Pulse

Prayers going up for your Dad!! Connie

Lori--- I don't know what to say!!! This is a horrible situation for you to be in. At least ours was at a neutral location (hospital). My brother is the one that added a lot of stress between Mom, SF and me. When mom passed and brother went home,(didn't even attend the celebration), things have finally worked out with SF. There are some people that just like drama,I don't know why. I don't play those games well-so I just don't play.It is not suppose to be that way but some people just plain do not care. I call those people self-absorbed. I want you to know that i am keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong and if I lived closer I would give you a real hug. Connie

Melinda---Oh how I remember!! At the time we get through it somehow, because we have to. I rejoiced when my mom finally let go, and went to be with her loved ones. I sometimes feel guilty for this but I was so thankful that it was over for her. I spent all the time with her that I could. I was at the hospital 23/7. I took an hour to come home and shower. I told my employer that I needed to be there and they totally understood. I would not do anything differently. I want you to know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers and if you need to chat you can PM me and I'll gladly give you my phone number. This will be one of the hardest things you'll ever experience. But, remember to take care of yourself. Letting go is sooooo hard for me. Prayers and hugs Connie

I am a true dog lover. When our Bichon "Angel" died 1 1/2 years ago at the beginning of Dec. My mom purchased a Yorkie for our Christmas gift---We love her to death named her "lexi" and then the girls loved her so much they bought another one last Dec. and named her "luci". They have helped tremendously with the loss of my mom. She was a dog lover as well. The two of us could not go into a pet store, because we had a hard time saying no. I think I will always have a dog. You can tell them anything and they don't repeat it!!! Connie

Jen, This is such a very very hard time for you. I had a hard time sleeping last night, thinking about you and your family. All the old thoughts came back to me. I was comforted in the fact that I knew Mom was going to a better place....I am not sure how much easier it makes the whole process though. Your family is my prayers. Please PM me if you need to chat. Hugs and prayers Connie

Welcome!!! This is a terrefic site and we all are here to help. God Bless Hugs and Prayers Connie

When my dad died unexpectily in 1994, he was divorced from my mom. They still loved each other, they just couldn't live together. My dad was an alcoholic. My mom remarried, but still talked of my dad often. Mom was dx with LC on 01.01.06 and sailed through all of the treatments, she would make reference to Dad helping her get through it. In early April on a Mon. afternoon, she had some friends over for a little prayer party. It was a really nice party. The next day at work, I was alone in the office, thinking about how nice the afternoon before was, and how good mom was doing, when the phone rang. I looked at the caller ID and it said my Dad's name. I sat there not knowing if I should answer it or not. Of course I did, and it was a woman from 360 miles away (the town mom and dad are from). She asked for someone, wrong number, and of course I had to tell her what had just happened. She had no idea why caller ID said that. It wasn't even close to her name.When the rest of the people got back to the office, I had to show them. some of them were really freaked out. I wonder now, if my dad was preparing me for mom's death. If he was calling her home. Connie

I too like Randy, wish I could have the "new" normal back. I do not want her to suffer, but I miss her more and more with each day. I miss taking her to chemo and visiting with everyone there. She was so proud of how well she was doing. Oh and Jen, I will take your prayers anytime (referring to the other post). Hugs and Prayers Connie

Missy My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Please take a little time for yourself. Hugs Connie

Michele, I can relate to alot of what you are feeling and saying. It is sooooo hard to lose a parent, especially when they are more than that, like best friends. Everyday I wake up and the first thing I used to do is get my coffee and call mom. Now that is gone, and to find something to replace that is hard. I am still searching.....Prayer does work. I pray a lot for the peace and comfort of her not suffering anymore and to guide me through this day without her. I pray that you will find peace and comfort in losing your mother. Hugs and Prayers Connie

Joan, You brought tears of happiness to me!! This shows how the power of prayer works!!! Enjoy the rest of summer and planning the wedding. Take care and God bless Hugs and Prayers Connie
