Dear CelticLady, I felt great sadness reading your story. You are walking the road that we all dread. Each loss of a loved was is so individual, but we can all empathise with you in your grief. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
The Lord bless you and keep you, May he make his face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. The Lord turn his face towards you, and give you peace.
Celtic, we are your friends and we hurt because you are hurting..They say the loneliest time comes after life has resumed for the mourners and others who were there constantly, and we know that life should return..
Please, remember, my dear friend, when you are lonely and need someone to hear you, that you will most likey always find one of your many friends here and very near to you. ~Hugs~blue

Celticlady....
I wish you peace and loving support. I too stayed busy for months after Dad died ..but the grief process while happen either way. it was too soon for him but also glad to be quick enough so he didn't suffer months in the end. I am so sorry for you and please post talk when you need too.... don't have to be strong or support anyone here. You don't have to make sense and can even just vent! Just take the support and ears you have offered. Wishing you the best..... you can email me any time you need to talk.
Do not mourn the absence of a flame - Let us celebrate how brightly it glowed!
Thank you all, for your continued support. Your kind words have meant so much to me. I know that I will eventually adjust, and acclimate, and it is in part because of my friends here at CD. Blessings to each of you.
This is so difficult to write, but I wanted to share with you that my husband's battle is over. It happened quicker than we had anticipated, but it is actually a good thing, for his sake, and in some ways, for our's also. It was so hard to see him fading, and suffering, a little more each day. He passed away on the 14th, at home. He was such a strong man, and he fought for so long. I believe he held on a few extra days just for us. I am hurting beyond words, as are my children, but I am so grateful that he is no longer suffering. I am grateful that my daughter was able to come home in time to see her father. I am grateful that he died at home, and not in a hospital, with strangers around him. We will be going to the funeral home today to make arrangements. This hurts so much, and is so surreal, but we don't have a choice but to deal with it. I am so very grateful for my children, as well as the rest of my family, and our friends. I know we will all hurt for a long time, but we are a strong bunch, and we will find our way through this.
CelticLady, I've been kinda scarce around here and just saw this now... my thots and prayers are with you and your family..
CelticLady, I just saw this thread this evening and I'm so very sorry for your loss. I do not have the words to adequately how saddened I am for you and your family. We lost my fiance's mother a year ago this month to cancer I know how hard it is. I will light a candle for you and your family.... my thoughts and prayers are with you.
CelticLady
