DarlaCarol…..wonderful event. I bet you will have much to share with us. Can’t wait to hear all about it.
Thinking of you and sending tons of hugs your way,
MarionHi guys
We’ve had a difficult road since dad passed on 23rd August but we are doing ok. Mum is very strong and we have been busy planning a fundraiser for Marie curie in memory of my dad next Friday 20th nov at my house. It’s grown and grown in numbers and there are over 50 ladies coming to honour my wee dad … Don’t know how they will all fit into my wee house!!! What a tribute!! People we hardly know have overwhelmed us with kindness from their donations of fantastic raffle prizes to offers of bringing food and wine for the evening!! Marie curie nurses that looked after dad in the hospice and carers that looked after dad at home are coming too … It will be an emotional night no doubt but we are trying to turn our grief into something positive by raising funds and awareness of this fantastic charity. My mum and I are still attending group sessions at the hospice that are helping us come to terms with our roller coaster few months and dealing with losing such a great man… I’ll keep you updated on how successful our evening turns out to be…. I can’t thank you all enough for your continued strength and support as I couldn’t have managed it all as well without it… Hugs to all fighting this horrendous disease
Carol xxxxHi Carol, YES, I knew Dad would be going with you and the mobile phone blew my mind. Last New Years I was talking to my daughter and a text appeared on my phone. I don’t text, message or etc. It simply said “I still miss you and I love you”. There was no phone number and no name. Then it disappeared. Never figured it out and I asked many people more savvy then me what it was. Everyone said you cannot get a text without a name! Are we not just the luckiest. We are so blessed. Enjoy your vacation and now you know Dad will be with the family.
Hi Marion …. How to I put pics on here? I’ll take lots
Strange thing just happened as we are waiting on ferry my dad’s mobile called my phone and a blackbird sat on wing mirror if the car my mum is in while we are waiting … Hope dad’s here with us xxxxxxxxCarol….I looked it up….what a beautiful place it is. Please take some pictures (if you can) and share with us.
So glad you are taking this trip.
Hugs,
MarionHave a wonderful vacation, Carol, you deserve it. Safe travel and I have a sneaking suspicion Dad WILL be there too!~
Thanks for all your kind words. We had booked to go to Rothesay on the Isle of Bute this weekend to give dad something to look forward to when he was diagnosed. We are still going to go with my husbands family and Ian myself kids dog and my mum. It will be hard as the holiday was for dad but I know he’d want us to go and I’m looking forward to getting away from the house for a couple of days, so we are off tomorrow… I’ll let you know how it goes and hopefully it won’t be unbearably sad…. Can’t tell you how much your continued support means to me xxxxx
Carol….loosing a loved one is a life changing event; loosing a loved one in 4 1/2 month from diagnoses leaves little room to breath; have that loved one be your Dad , the brain can’t comprehend and the heart is broken in a million pieces. Be kind to yourself, realize that you are mourning an irreplaceable father and that grief is the price we pay for LOVE.
There are no easy answers, dear Carol, but ultimately you too will find your peace in knowing that you had a special father and that his love will carry you forward.
Hugs,
MarionHi Carol,
Please feel free to rant away here as much as you want to as we so know what you are going through right now and how you feel as well. Please trust me though when I say to you that it does get easier but it does take time. It took me ages to get my head around the fact that my dad was gone as well and you never forget but it does get easier with time. As Lainy says, the good memories will come back and hopefully they will help ease the pain that you feel.
Big hug for you,
Gavin
Carol, it is good to rant as the emotion needs to come out. We all grieve differently and in our own time but do not hesitate to talk to your own Doctor if you think you need some help, especially if it is affecting you physically. Please take care of yourself on all levels.
Let the good Memories come in so Dad can be at ease that you are doing okay.Nearly 4 weeks since dad passed and the pain is more intense now than ever… I knew I’d have emotional pain but the physical pain is a surprise. It’s like there’s a huge hole in my heart. Can’t actually believe dad’s gone !!! Four and a half months since he was diagnosed… Doesn’t seem fair … Rant over !! Hugs to all xxxx
