Dear Rhoda – So sorry that you have to suffer this loss. It is such a difficult process to grieve. My heart goes out to you and your family. Blessings, Susan
Ritchie – I loved Marion’s suggestion that it is time for the boxing gloves to come on. We have learned that you have to be your own advocate in the health care world. Insist on the blood test even if it is to ease your mind. My husband had itching and rash – whatever the cause was, he got medication that took care of it. He had a pill and lotion that the doctor prescribed. Thinking of you with high hopes. Blessings, Susan
My daughter had a unique experience today that she says was her dad. She has a picture of her dad and me on her desk. Every time she walked in the room, the pictures were knocked over. She called her brother in the room and said, “Watch, I can hit this desk as hard as I can and the picture won’t fall over.” She hit the desk and nothing. But several times the picture was down. Then somehow the picture became just of her dad. She thinks Dad was playing with her and saying hi. He was such a tease.
My mother-in-law passed away on March 15, 2011 and my younger daughter was at home with her husband and her 16 month old son. About 20 minutes after Grandma passed, little Noah was staring over by the refrigerator. His dad said, “Buddy, what you are looking at? You are freakin’ me out.” We believe that Grandma stopped on her way out to look in on her favorite granddaughter and her great-grandson.
Keep on believing and watching for the miraculous.
Best wishes on the plan for another child. My husband held on until our last grandson was born. He died 8 days after Jonathan was born, but he met the goal he had set and it brought him comfort. This is the child that carries the name on. Our other grandson carries the bloodline. We felt very blessed. I pray that having another child will bring great joy to your MIL and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Susan
So many difficult choices. I pray that wisdom and knowledge will be on your side as you face the future and hope for a daddy to be there for his children. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Blessings, Susan
I have a question – if you are low on vit D, can you spend some time in the son in addition to the supplements to increase the vit D in your system. Of course, I’d use skin protection. Just wondering…
Dear Jennifer – We will hold out only the best hopes for your dad and your family. CC is such a roller coaster ride, but if you give yourselves a chance, you can enjoy every moment with him. Take pictures, plan family times, share all the love in your heart. Please keep us posted and we will do our best to answer your questions and encourage you. Blessings, Susan
Georgie – A mother-in-law can be every bit as precious as a mother so your feelings about her sound absolutely normal to me. I would agree that a second opinion might be helpful, however, if there is no treatment, make lots of plans to enjoy every single moment that you have with her. Make memories, take pictures, ask questions about her life that you might want to tell your children. This time will be a roller coaster, but if could also be a gift that allows you to say all the things you want to say and show all the love you have for one another. Please post often, ask questions, vent, share, cry, rant, whatever you need…we are here. Blessings, Susan
Libby – It is so wonderful to see good news on this site. I’ll say prayers for your daddy tonight. Blessings, Susan
Lainy – I agree completely with Nancy. So if you’re even in Southern California and you hear that windex calling your name, I can guide you where you can use it. I love the smell of a clean house too, but I bet it’s much better when someone else is cleaning it. Love, Sus
Thank you, Nancy. I think I am doing as well as can be expected. I miss my husband so much, but it seems like a discredit to his memory for me not to TRY to keep moving forward. I still have children (although they are adults) and we support one another. I have grandchildren that will never have their Papa again, so I need to try to be all the Nana I can be for them. I will do my best to honor my husband, his belief in me, and all the investment he made in my during my life. So, one foot in front of the other. Blessings, Susan
All losses are horrible. All losses require a period of grieving. All losses must be incorporated into our lives. My heart grieves for each and every loss.
I would work with your dad’s wife to see if he and she will agree that he should absolutely have a second opinion at least. What can it hurt? It may help more than you imagine and that would be awesome. Keep us posted. Blessings, Susan
Kathy – I don’t know about cure, but I have heard great things about a holistic natural approach with food. Best wishes.
