Pam, Sending lots of love and strength your way. Just yesterday I searched your name to see if there was any new news. I know how difficult things have been. Please take care of yourself. We are all here for you.

Love, Amy

Kimmie,

I could have written your post! I know the heartache that you are feeling. It is awful, isn’t it????

My dad died in 1996, and I was amazed how many of my “friends” disappeared. I know that they had no idea how I felt, because they had never been through what I just went through, and thank goodness for them, but I needed them, and they were NOT there. Needless to say, I cut myself off from them. I was 21 when he died, and I changed. I became so guarded, and have never been the same. I let very few people into my life. Mom died Sept 2009, and I went through the same kind of thing, but this time more with my family. When Dad died, I had my Mom, this time I had NO ONE. I have a wonderful husband, who has stood by me through EVERYTHING, but that is about it.

I wish that I could give you some helpful advice, but I don’t have any . I know that I hated to hear it, but time does help. It does NOT completely heal your pain, but it does help a little.

I didn’t mean to go on and on about myself, just wanted you to know that you and I feel very much alike!

Big hugs to you,
Amy

Oh Pam,
What a wonderful daughter you are. I am so sorry that you are on this difficult journey. I know how hard it is. My mom passed away last year. We are all here for you. Sending lots of hugs your way.

Michael,
I am so sorry for the pain that you are feeling. Your dad sounds like an absolutely wonderful man. You were lucky to have each other.

My mom passed away last September. So, unfortunately I know the pain that you are feeling right now. My mom was my best friend. She lived with us, so it was hard on my 5 year old daughter also. I then had a son 2 months after she died. I too am so sad to think about how much my children will miss not having my mom here. My heart is breaking for you.

We are all here for you on this difficult journey.

I am so sorry,
Amy

Terry,

My mom went through some of the same situations after my dad passed away. He died in 1996, so it was before cell phones were as popular as they are now. She was so worried about what would happen if her car would break down. Now my mom is gone. I often wonder about what would I do if something happens to my husband. I have 2 children, and really have no one else. My parents and grandparents are gone. It is a frightening feeling. Life certainly changes, and it can be so difficult .

Amy

Oh Beth,

I am so sorry for the pain that you are going through. My mom died in September 2009. I have regrets too. I know that God has a plan for all of us, and everything happens for a reason. My grandma died a few years ago, and my grandpa had just stepped out of the room. For so long he felt bad that he wasn’t with her, but the hospice nurse told him that is how it happens so often. Our loved ones know that we are in so much pain, and them leaving while we aren’t there is one way that they can help us. She told him that they had said their good byes, and they want to be remembered by the time that they spent together, not by them taking their last breath. I can still see my mom taking her last breath, and that was so sad. I know that doesn’t make your pain go away, but I hope that it eases it in some way to know that others have felt and are feeling the same way that you are feeling. You loved your husband. You stood by him, and he knows that.
Big hugs to you,
Amy
