Blessings to you Kristin. Certainly not offended here. I think a more positive way of thinking and writing would be beneficial for us all.
Peace,
KarenHi Carol,
So good to “hear” from you. I totally understand the feelings. It has been nine months for me and it feels like yesterday and an eternity. My prayers of comfort to you and your family.
Namaste,
KarenDear Gavin,
Sending my deepest condolences to you and your Mom. You are a wonderful, kind and caring son. I know your Dad was so very proud of you. I hope the grieving goes well for you and your Mom. This next battle is very difficult. My heartfelt prayers to you both.
Namaste,
KarenNo thanks needed. I would do anything in my power to help another soul with this dreaded disease. I hope the banner will help to catch the attention of a needed researcher or practioner.
Peace,
KarenMarion, you are so appreciated for all the wonderful work you are doing for this foudation and CC awareness.
Hi Marion,
Happy to see you were able to attend the workshop on Monday. The information you keep giving this organization is awesome. It was very special to spend some time with you Sunday evening. You are an amazing woman.
Peace,
KarenAshley,
Sitting here in tears. My husband always contended that he thought his CC had spread because of the needle biopsy…not that we were really given a chance at denial. Seems once the doctors are on the trail of something they just schedule you for tests without much explanation while you are still in a state of shock from the previous tests. Thanks for the posting.
Peace,
KarenDear Ashlea,
I can so relate to the constant recall of the last days and what happened. Sometimes I wish that part would just go away so I can just remember all the good times my husband and I had together, all the years we shared. Grieving is such a terrible journey and a lonesome one. I totally understand what you are experiencing and you are right…most people don’t. I am sending you hugs and prayers of comfort. You were a wonderful daughter for your father. How nice he left a letter for you. I have often hoped to come across a letter from Rob, but he had a hard time coming to terms about how terminal he was…he felt too good.
Peace,
KarenHi,
Mind if I butt in with my two cents worth on the vacation issue. I just got back from a “road trip” that I designed on the internet. Our company shuts the whole operation down for a week and I knew I could not say home without going absolutely bats. I also knew I could not go anywhere that Rob and I used to go…the pain would be too great. In fact, part of my trip was designed so that I would not travel the same roads we used to take to and from Boston for his treatment. This actually added a few days to my trip and I took an extra half of a week.
I have to say the trip was pretty good (and right before I left I was going to cancel everything). Spent a few days on my own and some time with a good friend from years back and some time with my cousin. That’s not to say I didn’t have my crying jags, but on the whole I was able to enjoy doing and going places by myself. I found a new strength I didn’t know was there.
Please excuse the intrusion, but I felt the need to share. Praying we all find this terrible journey easier each and every day.
Peace,
KarenDear Amy,
I know the heartache you are going through. My loss was my husband, although I had also lost my Mom when I was 11. I know there is an afterlife. My husband and I had talked about being able to commuicate after he passed, just to let me know he was okay. He has done this several times, in different ways. I will not get into the particulars because it would be too lengthy here. Have faith. Your Mom is still around you, just on a different level. My prayers to you and hugs also.
Peace,
KarenThank you Lulu. So many of us have this heavy burden of loss we must bear. I follow the site daily, just can’t always bring myself to participate. Thank you for reaching out and I look forward to meeting you at the conference.
Peace,
KarenI too live very close to Philadelphia..infact I work in the city. I would love to help out in anyway that I can. By October I will be a little over 6 months beyond the loss of my husband to this terrible disease and would love to help advocate and become more involved.
Karen
