Took a few months to sink in he was not coming back. I spent a lot of time with my Mom too when she was in the nursing home..it felt strange not being able to continue to go there and visit. I am glad to see that you are checking in, I know it is a good diversion from your sorrow. Rachael

Just home from the viewing. Many many of our church members were there to support us. I love having that kind of extended family. Tomorrow is the service. I will be glad to have it over so we can begin to move on and heal abit. Even having her around almost 92 years didn't seem long enough. Selfish but true.

Please accept Condolences and prayers from me and my family. Losing my dad a few months ago was like a sucker punch to my gut .....Right above my computer is the family picture of my daughter's wedding and Dad and Mom are still standing there smiling. I swear that he had that same smile at his viewing. It was that smile like he knew some private joke that he would tell us all later on. I sit here sometimes and talk to him. Now I keep wondering when it will be mom's turn to go. Dad's passing was tough for me to get through but I'm not sure I will handle mom's I am not trying to be morbid but I guess at our age now we have to face these things. *"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how* the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Service went well. I was pretty strong until I got up to leave behind the casket. Then I lost it. Poor Carlton took it harder visually than my brother and I did. We are trying to move ahead now. She would have wanted it that way. I lost my dad four years ago, BD, three months before my first husband. It was hard, but I think when the second parent goes... it's even tougher. It's more "final".. if you know what I mean. It's like, ok, I HAVE to be an adult now, my parents are gone. All prayers appreciated and please, especially for my son Chris. Tomorrow is his 20th birthday and he is really having alot more serious pain now with his fibromyalgia and emotional disorders. He was unable to attend the funeral and that really upset him. Thank you all. Mare John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

I know the feeling! After loosing Bob the year before, and then my Dad in Apr of '05 and my Mom in Oct of '05, I was walking around feeling like a lost orphan for awhile. My rational adult self was understanding about life, but my emotional self was a complete wreck. But it does get better as time goes by, the wound of grief does heal, just a little... (((((hugs))))) to you both! Rachael

I just wanted to make sure I got that right. Funny, I didn't think I had grown up yet? You could probably testify to that!! I had always thought about what Davy had gone through when he came over to the US at 14. He was pretty much on his own too and became an adult really fast. Seriously though I'm not sure what is worse. Losing one's parents at a young age (up until my adulthood I always thought that was worse) or watching your parents grow old, caring for them through an illness and then watching them pass. In both phases of life it's tough. It's good to have friends and family to help us get through it all.... Gail

I am almost past the grief for my mother now though, because my son is in such bad shape. He is getting worse rapidly. He lost his father at age 16. That didn't help for sure. But his emotional and physical pain now are so horrible, he begs me to kill him. I am at my wits end right now.

He is actually going through bouts of temporary paralysis in his arms and legs now. I am going to take him to a neurologist and see if they can tell what's causing that. Wish we had some insurance for him. And yes Sally, my husband has been a real help in this. Thank God. But it still falls mostly to me. Have only had a few hours sleep last night as Chris was hallucinating on and off last night and was afraid to be alone. I'm sick myself too which doesn't help. Sorry to whine, but I guess I just need somewhere to vent. Mare John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
