    Jen,

    I saw that too. Another one taken too soon by this horrible disease. He fought so hard and had such a postive attitude. It is so sad. A terrible loss for that lovely young family. My heart goes out to all of them. He will be missed.

    Dear Jennifer,

    I am so sorry your dad lost his battle with this disease so quickly. My husband passed away 2 1/2 years ago and he also went very quickly, so I do understand what you and your family are going through and feeling right now. It isn’t easy, but try to be comforted some by the fact that he did not suffer for very long and is now in a better place, pain free and beyond the reach of this terrible disease. He may be gone physically, but his spirit is still surrounding you. He will always be with you in your heart and memories. Know that I am thinking of you and your family and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

    Love & Hugs,

    Darla

    Ok everyone, I guess I need to get my say in here, too. It may not help, but atleast knowing others are dealing with similar situations may be of some comfort. My situation is a little different. My husband passed 2 1/2 years ago and it has not been easy. I too have found that although many people were here for me in the beginning that has all changed now. They have all gone on with there lives and I am still alone. Without going into all the details, suddenly the past few months our younger son has cut me off much as your daughter has you Jamie. I also have no idea of why. I have tried what Lainy suggested by suggesting we need to talk just the two of us and got no response. I recently heard through family that his girlfriend was very ill and waiting for the results of some tests. He also has some health problems, so I emailed him asking how she is doing and hoping they are both doing OK and asking that he let me know how things are going. I got no answer to this either. After losing Jim, I know how precious our time is here as no one knows what tomorrow will bring. I feel I have done all I can to reach out to him and have finally realized I have no control over this and need to just let it go for now and hope that some day this will be resolved, hopefully before it is too late. He too may regret his actions some day, but that is something he will need to deal with.

    I feel for those of you who are also dealing with these issues, especially those of you also fighting CC. You definately don’t need the added stress.

    Jamie, Missy, Kevin and everyone else here, I am thinking of all of you knowing how much this hurts and how it affects us and hoping we can all deal with these people and situations as best we can. And quoting some of you, yes “life is too short to be an ASS” and for all of us “it is so damn hard”!

    Everyone take care and God bless us all.

    Love & Hugs,
    Darla

    Dear Molly,

    Everything you are feeling is normal for what you have experienced. Grief is a very personal thing and everyone grieves in there own way and in their own time frame. I have and still do experience a lot of what you are going through and it has been 2 1/2 years since my husband passed on. There are good days and bad and all we can do is deal with the feelings as they come and take things one day at a time. Your life will never be the same as it was before and you will always miss your mom, but she is with you in your heart and memories. When things get bad, try to remember all of the good times before CC.

    Keep coming back here when you need to talk or vent your feelings. All of us who have lost loved ones to this disease know and understand. You may also want to contact Dr. Giles. You can contact him by clicking on Patient Support and then Ask Dr. Giles. He lost his best friend to CC and has been a source of comfort and support to so many of us. He may be able to help you sort through your feelings.

    Take care Molly.

    Love & Hugs,
    Darla

    Melanie,

    Glad to her from you and that you are doing OK. There will be a lot of ups & downs, but your attitude and your children along with all of those who love and care for you will get you by. I think we all have had those “if only” moments. Just part of the whole process. Take care and keep in touch.

    Love & Hugs,
    Darla

    Amen! I do agree that losing a child must be terrible, but atleast in most cases you would have your spouse to share your grief and to help and support each other.
