    The dying process

    in GRIEF

    Posted

    Sharon,

    My situation is a little different than yours because I was not "there" for my dad's last moments as you were. But I hope you can come to a place where you can feel that you (and your family) and the doctors did the very best for your wonderful dad based on the information you had at the time and the situation that you were dealing with.

    A few weeks before my dad died I was reading a book by the mother of a little girl who died after her battle with cancer. She explained that at the diagnosis the child's doctor spoke to both parents and said ... the most important thing was to know that they had done the very best with the information that they had at the time.... This doctor was dealing with his own child also fighting cancer and he knew the helplessness that family members feel as well as the blaming that they do to (to themselves).

    I know my mom wonders if she should have done things differently or not but as part of the support I could offer her, I reitterated (sp?) this same statement to her.

    I think your Daddy felt the love and care from you and the rest of his family. That is something that is so valuable and I hope you can continue on from here knowing that that love made his moving on easier. You are a wonderful daughter and have been through so much this past year and longer. Take good care of yourself and rest easy knowing that you did the very best for your dad.

    With all my love and prayers for you,

    Karen

    Happy Birthday to Alex!

    I hope you both have a wonderful day. I'm sure his dad will be watching proudly. While I can't identify with all that you are missing, I certainly keep you in my prayers and feel some of your loss as I feel the loss of my dad. With all my love and birthday wishes.

    Officially NOT a statistic.

    Dean,

    I always look forward to your posts and find your words calming. You are right, know one knows for sure. Each case is different, each person is unique and from what I have seen and heard ... the spirit and will make up the part that medicine can not touch. My words do not flow as easily as yours. Just know that your are always in my thoughts and prayers.

    I

    see

    the count-

    less Christmas

    trees around the

    world below with tiny

    lights like heaven's starts

    reflecting on the snow. The

    sight is so spectacular. Please

    wipe away that tear for I am spend-

    ing Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

    I hear the many Christmas songs that people

    hold so dear, but the sounds of music can't com-

    pare, with the Christmas choir up here. For, I have no

    words to tell you, the joy their voices bring. For it is be-

    yond description, to hear an angel sing. I know how much

    you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart. For I am spending

    Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I send you each a special gift,

    from my heavenly home above. I send you each a memory of my undy-

    ing love. I can't tell you of the splendor or the peace here in this place. Can you just imagine Christmas with our Savior face to face? I'll ask Him to light your spirit, as I tell him of your love, so then pray one for another as you lifeyour eyes above. So please let your spirits sing. For I'm spending

    Christmas in

    heaven

    and I am

    wallking

    with the King.

    This is typed in the shape of a Christmas tree but I was not able to reproduce that successfully here. Sorry.

    with love

    TAnn,

    I'm sorry to hear that you had to put your furry friend to sleep. It sounds like he was a great friend to your family and lived a long happy life too. I hope the memories of your time together will be a comfort.

    Sharyn,

    I am so sorry to hear that your dad has had to leave this world but I know what you mean about feeling a certain peace too. You have spoken about how close you are with your dad and that certainly proved true in the experiences that you have had since his passing. May they always be a comfort to you. My heart goes out to you and and your mom and family. You are all in my prayers. I wonder if your dad and mine will get a chance to chat. It is a nice thought.

    With all my love and prayers,

    I think we are nearing the end...

    Sharon,

    You are in my thoughts and prayeers ... especially as you go through this. I wish I could offer you some comfort. All I know is that your wonderful dad must feel you being there and know your love for him. That must bring him comfort in some way. I wasn't able to be there for my dad like you have been but I know he felt the love and comfort of my mom being with him. Please know that there are people here who are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Your faith is strong and God's arms are around you.

    With love and prayers,

    Karen

    Oh Karen, my heart goes out to you and the prayers are coming your way. It just seems like this whole dealing with cancer thing is overwhelming without throwing other stuff into the mix. Take care of yourself. It is good that you have a concerned professional to help you get a handle on your whirl wind life. I can't understand fully what you are up against but I certainly wish the best for you, David and your little girl.

    With love and prayers,

    Consider it done Angie. Prayers are on the way.

    I remember my mom telling me of a time when my dad also got "fit to be tied" and that was out of character for him too. It is so hard on them and sometimes enough is enough. I will keep you in my thoughts and your dad too.
