Hope keeps so many of us going. Thanks for adding hope to our world with this good news. I am so excited at your wife’s good progress. Here’s a thumbs up to both of you!!!
How kind of you to be so invested in your co-worker and their daughter. The support we receive from one another is priceless. Thank you for being a caring person.
I was also thinking of collecting memories from others who knew him and reading them over on Father’s Day. You could ask family and friends to write a short something about their favorite memory of your dad. After reading them, you could put them in a book for other family members, grandchildren, etc. who would love to see another side of your dad. It’s fun (and a little sad) too.
Oh my – that could be so scary. Wonderful that the news is good. So happy for you. Stay on top of the medical community.
Thank you Darla. I am trying to give myself time and space for healing. I’m just not used to being so sad. It will improve in time and I look forward to that. I’m not sure what the new me will be like, but I’m not rushing it. Thank you again. Blessings, Susan
Dear HeartDoc – You, more than most, know how difficult it is to give or receive such a serious diagnosis. I am so sorry that you must take this journey, but your mom is blessed to have you because who better to be in her corner than someone who “speaks the language.” Please come often, let us know how your mom is doing and how your family is doing. We have walked the walk or are walking the walk so we really understand. May you make wonderful memories to cherish forever.
My 18 month old grandson still asks for his papa every single day. He lays on a blanket (with Papa’s picture on it) and kisses it over and over. Who would have thought that almost 4 months after Papa’s passing, that this little guy would be so connected? I am happy that they were able to have that much relationship in Noah’s short little life. His Papa would be very happy and very proud.
Blessings, Susan
Dear DJ – These are rough waters, but you have passed many firsts without your dad and this is a hard one, but you will make it. There is no escaping the pain and the missing, but I’m sure you have also relived some very wonderful memories. Cling to those and celebrate all that you learned from your dad and shared with him. I am so sorry that you must feel this pain and ongoing sense of loss, but I’m sure that as he looks upon you, going on, he is very proud of you. Blessings, Susan
Dear Tim – How wonderful your family has you to jump in with both feet and get all the information (and support) that you can. You are truly amazing and attitude plays a HUGE part in this process. You are right that you are now among people who know and understand – a rare group of caring, loving, supportive people have just become part of your family. Blessings on this journey. Susan
Thank you, Marion. I have been doing well up till this week. My heairt is just so heavy and my energy is very low. I keep moving forward and I keep up with my responsibilities, but I rest a lot more and don’t step up to take care of others as is my habit. I want to be a support for other members of my family, especially my mom, but my resources are somewhat limited right now. This is kinda new for me. I am usually so strong, but this year has taken me down. I spend time trying to feel, grieve, process, and look forward to the future with hope. Thanks for your caring thoughts. Blessings, Susan
Dear Harry – You have unwillingly joined a new, but very loving family, who understands the journey that you are on with your mom. Our hearts are with you and we welcome your postings, we look forward to updates on your mom, and we are here for you, as well. Blessings, Susan
Dear Bazel – How blessed this family is to have you for a friend. How wonderful that you can reach out to them with compassion and understanding. Please assure them that I am praying, many of us on this board are praying, and we understand the journey. Blessings, Susan
So beautiful. Thank you for sharing that. I have had three major losses in the past 3 1/2 months and this is very comforting to me. Michelle, what a blessing to have you share this. Blessings, Susan
Dear Ashley – I am so sorry that you have to fight this fight on top of everything else. If the hospital administration, director of nursing/clinical care, director of social work don’t get on this within an hour of you bringing it to their attention tomorrow morning, there are other places that you can place a complaint. Please post right away and I will give you more information if you need it. Accrediting bodies is one place to complain, although they won’t act immediately. State licensing board for physician, although they won’t act right away either. I would immediately get the hospital officials involved as Lainy said. Please let us know right away. No one should have this happen to them. No one. Try to get her transferred immediately.
