mpbarbie Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 It is one month today since my brother Owen Bonner has passed. The pain of losing him is still so great and my heart can not stop aching. He was my older brother and as long as I live I will always cherish the time I had with him. He left behind his wife, 4 wonderful children and 3 grandchildren along with his mother, who misses him terribly and his brothers and sisters. I know he will live on in our hearts forever and now we have to find a way to live without him. Goodbye Ownie, I will always love and miss you for the rest of my life.

stand4hope Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Dear mpbarbie, I am so sorry for your loss. My brother has a special place in my heart also. I pray you will be feeling better soon. God's comfort to you, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blynch Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I am glad you posted this message. The hardest thing to me about accepting that it has been a month is the feeling that it has been so much longer than that. Although I spoke to him just the day before, it feels like it has been an eternity. Has anyone else felt like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 My father passed away a little over 3 weeks ago and yet it feels like it was just yesterday as much as it feels like it was 10 years ago since I last could see or speak to him. It is very weird. I was doing better the first week then I am now. For some reason, I think it gets harder before it gets easier again, but the emptiness I don't think will ever go away. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I am sorry you lost your brother to this disgusting disease. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blynch Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Karen, It has definitely got more difficult for me. Beyond going through the experience of watching my father die, I just plain old miss him now. There are situations that come up that he would be the first person I call, and now I can't. The finality of it all catches me off guard at times. I am keeping you in my prayers during this most difficult time. Hang in there.

mpbarbie Posted April 14, 2004 Author Share Posted April 14, 2004 I feel the same way. It seems like it's not getting any easier but more difficult as each day goes by. My heart has a huge hole in it, I miss him so much and the emptiness of not having him here is almost too hard to bare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
