As I sit beside my own Dad's hospital bed I think of you,  I am so sad that you lost your Dad at such a young age.  My own son's lost their Dad (my husband of 25 years) when he was 52 so we understand how it feels.  Your prayer card was so apt.  Sending love to all of your family. Rose

Hi Darling.....you come back here anytime you want.  We are all still here for you.  You are part of the family now.  I know from losing my Dad you will have your ups and downs and always know there is someone here if you want to come and talk or rant.  I'd be very sad if you didn't keep in contact and I am sure everyone else would as well.  Take care.  Lots of love xx

I just want to post here what I have said to Roxanne privately....

This is such a difficult time specially with dad's recent birthday being such a difficult time without him there. I didn't know him at all but I have a fair idea what he would want now for Roxanne and everyone else in his family is to live the best life that they can. Specially for all the struggles he went through being so sick for a majority of his years he would want his family to live the wonderful lives they can. I am NOT saying forget about him and move on. Of course not. that's impossible to do and nobody would want that.. but at the same time it's important to not let grief bog you down. Dad wouldn't be happy with that.

Hang in there Roxanne you are in our thoughts!!

Roxanne,

I am so sorry to hear about your father, and all of the circumstances over the last month in the hospital. I haven't been on in a while and just saw this.  Please come back from time to time and visit and post...as you know, it's a big family here and we all pull for each other.

I know exactly what you're going through now, as I lost my mother on September 26th after getting an infection in the hospital and it was three weeks of hell as they couldn't get it under control.  But please keep in touch here, and let us know how you are, and also, you can still offer advice and wisdom to others that may be going through similar situations. It took me a while to want to come back and post and I still get in my funks where I don't visit the site, but it is a win-win to post and respond to people here....it helps them (hopefully) and it is therapeutic, in a way, to offer advice to others or share a story that may comfort them.

So stay in touch and come back.  Every day is difficult and nothing anyone can say will make it better, but knowing she is in a better place and out of pain is the one thing that is comforting. So try and remember that, especially during bad days or moments.  I read your father's obituary, and I think it's wonderful that he and your mom were married that long.  I'm sure you and your family will help your mom and each other get through this...spending as much time with my dad as possible has helped him and myself, so that's one last bit of advice I would share....as hard as it is on us kids, it has to be harder on the person they were married to for so long.

God bless and try to remain as positive as you can
