Oh, I am also so sad. Jeff was truly a lovely, wonderful human being, and he meant so much to us all. Valerie – and your entire family – my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Fondly, Joyce C.
Dear Natasha,
I cannot imagine what you must be feeling – I can only pray that God gives you strength to get through the days ahead. It is true that your parents are together again, and there is no suffering where they are now. I hope you can take comfort in that. I will be thinking of you.Joyce C.
Hello to all of you,
Think how far we all have come over the last few Months! It is amazing, actually. I had a great time visiting with Sharan, and will miss her so now that she has gone.
Janet – it sounds like you are ready to rejoing the working world – the working electronic world, actually. Tthat is what my “project” that I have talked about that we have been working on iat work – I work in long term care – in technology – and we are putting in new software that will carry us into the new world of an electonic medical record. It is difficult and rewarding doing this, and a great project for my final challenge! I am not sure I am up to this mentally, but – it is what it is – the world is not waiting for me – I have to catch up to it!
Sue’s trip was my idea of wonderful, and I would love to do that someday.
Pauline – what ever happened to the trip to the states? I don’;t remember!
And Darla – it was 98 degrees here on Saturday – can you believe it??
Love – Joyce
Cyndi,
I am so very sorry for your loss and your sadness. We who have lost our loved ones know how that feels, and know how difficult it is to pick up the pieces and go on. This board has some of the greatest people on earth, and they will help you through this tough time. It may not seem it now, but it will, over time, get a little better. As we say – one step at a time. We will be thinking of you and praying for you.Joyce C.
Dear Carol,
I am so sorry for your loss. I will be thinking of you and the kids. Yes, Charlie is in a better place now, and the suffering is done. Hopefully, all our sweet husbands are together up there, Charlie playing sweet music and Butch playing golf! So, we know that, but it doesn’t help much right now , does it? Anyway, we are all here for you, and will continue to pray for your family.Love,
Joyce C.
Sue,
I am so glad to hear that your trip was a success – it sounds like a wonderful time, and great life- learning experience, too. I guess we all do need to remember that this world is filled with people who are worse off than us, don’t we? It certainly does help to put things in perspective.My cousin Sharan is flying in tomorrow to stay with me for 4 days. She is the one who is like a sister to me – we were raised together – and – she came and stayed with us the last week of Butch’s life to help me take care of him – she is a hospice nuse in Texas – actually, she does home health now. Anyway, it was so wonderful of her, as it meant he would have people he knew taking care of him at the end, and I am so happy she is coming to visit.
Everyone – have a good weekend.
Love -Joyce
Dear Barbara,
I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the members of your familyas you face the sad times ahead. At least we all have the comfort of knowing that our loved ones are no longer suffering with this terrible disease, and that they are – as you say – “dancing with the angels”.Cyber hugs,
Joyce C.Oh Lainy, this is such great news – I love to hear it! You both must be feeling pretty good!
Joyce C.
I am so sorry for your loss. I will be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers.
Cyber Hugs,
Joyce C.
Lina,
My thoughts are with you at this time. I am so sorry for the passing of your Mother, but glad that she didn’t suffer longer. Thank you for sharing – The poem was so lovely.Thoughts and Prayers,
Joyce C.
How wonderful that you had such a great relationship with your Dad. I think you are right – in the future, you will think fondly of those walks, and the times you had togetehr. The price we have to pay for such closeness is the terrible grief we are suffereing through, but, I know we wouldn’t have traded those days and those relationships for anything.
Karen – I know, we are surprised to learn that grief is not a straight line
– it doesn’t keep going up – getting easier, does it? – it is up and down, and sometimes I don’t even know what sends me “down” – it just happens and there I am – in the pits. I do notice that, as time goes by, the ups are lasting longer, and that help so much.My thoughts are with you both – Joyce C.
Sophie,
Heather had the right word – you are amazing. I hope the avastan works for you and that you enjoy your visit with all the girls.God Bless,
Joyce C.
LWilson,
I am thinking of you as you make this sad journey. I know how diffeicult it is to be where you are. We are all here for you, whenever you need us, as you are there for you Mom.God Bless,
Joyce C.Hello Friends,
I am just popping in here to say that I know how that feels – the loneliness, I mean. It just doesn’t go away – it is always here, and there is no solution to it, I guess. Pauline, I know it all seems kind of useless – why are we doing this stuff, anyway? But – I don’t think I could stand the alternative – to not do anything – there would be nothing but thinking and thinking, and it is thinking that gets me into trouble every time. So – we go aimlessly on – doing stuff, living, – putting one foot in front of the other. I guess we hope that the good days get more and more , and the bad days less and less. Heaven help us all, I say!Hugs – Joyce
