Dear Marilyn,
I know you said that this thread is closed, but I hope you check in just to see how much your thread & your life has touched this forum.
I sat here and reread your posts. My eyes welled up with tears.
Then I clicked on the song that Mike0241 posted called "Heaven Laughs" and after reading the lyrics, the tears are rolling down my face.
It is so sad what happened to your Mother and to you. Be strong and if it gives you a little comfort, listen to the song.
"And heaven laughs when we say good-bye
It ain't so far to the other side
Someday soon we will meet again
Say it over and over and over 'til then
Dream tonight about a last embrace
Close my eyes and I will see your face
Dreams alone won't keep our tears away
But in my heart I know we'll meet again someday"
I lost both my parents within 8 months of each other. Mom to heart disease and pop to liver/kidney failure. They were 55 & 61. WAY too young to go. I feel your pain. Hang in there, it does lessen somewhat over time. *********r so called friends. Hang onto the people that care.
thanks for posting your story. I have never seen your name /names before on the nj board. Are you donnie or donna? Sorry aobut mom, terrible. I guess she was in a coma and did not know you on the ventliator?? Terrible. You see at least I have time to spend, my mom is somewhat awake and with it at times. Not all the time drugged out but can at least mumble. She knows Im there. Thank you and come around more.
hi steve sorry about your lost (hugs) but the way im donna..my husband is donnie.....you are in my prayers and may god bless you and your family
well thank you all. You want to hear something amazing, today was the best day Dad and I have had in along time. He was not yelling, we got along. Its the first time in along time where I did not see Dad in the caretaker of mom roll. He seemed relieved and more relaxed. He told me it has been 4 years of hell then the last 8 month when we found out how bad the cancer was was the UTLIMATE HELL. He never really filled me in on how bad things were. When I went over to the house Memories of MOM were all over. However looking deeper into the picture I saw a different story. Wheel chairs, walkers, commodes (things for the toilet seat to rise higher) the stair chair electric thing, the pain killers all over house and I mean serious pain killers. I never realized it was that bad for dad. He is also out of his misery. WE went to the funeral home and sunday is the sitting, monday the funeral. Its in the bergen record saturday under the first name Theda of paramus. I feel good. I feel like there is a new world for my dad. I feel like eventaually the only problem Im gonna have it getting him to fit me in after he starts really living!! Im exicted about that. Maybe one day I will get a STEP MOM!!! That would be great.
Well thats all for the songs, prayer, videos, and just being there. Things are sad but looking brighter.
Sorry for your loss. Things will get better a little at a time.
