Post Regarding Losing A Parent

mantaraye — Wed, 19 Jul 2017 16:24:01 GMT

There are several postings on the forums suffering the loss of a parent, and for loved ones in hospice.

I just want to convey my condolences and prayers to all. Sorry the grammar isn't well done, but my feelings are sincere and heartfelt.

Thank you @mantaraye for your thoughtful post. My mom passed in January after a LONG decline physically and mentally.

@Cakers3 just wanted to say hi. I am not in the "neighborhood" too often and missed seeing your posts. I hope you are well. Missed you this past weekend posting on the baseball thread when our beloved teams played one another. You may no longer live in New England, but you are a Soxette!

My son graduated May of 2016, and I miss going to Boston several times a year.

@KKlim - so sorry, it's going to take time to heal, but it never leaves us. I experienced the loss of my parents and 3/4 of my siblings.

My deepest condolences to you.

@dmod nj Oh Donna it's so good to see you too. Congrats to your son!!!!

For shame-I haven't kept up with my Red Sox but I do wear several of my T's to the gym. Very brave in Ranger land. LOL

Hope things are ok for you, too.

@dmod nj I'm sorry about your mom, too. I know you were posting briefly on Sunny's thread but I had not kept up on that thread in a while.

I lost my Mom when she was young - 47. Having gone through that tragedy when I was a teenager made it more 'manageable' when my Dad passed away in 2014 at 86 years old. It teaches you to remember the happy memories - try to keep the uplifting thoughts in the forefront rather than the heartache. Our loved ones that passed would want it that way!

Thanks @Cakers3. I do try to post on Sunny's thread every Friday. Some weekends, I get there by Sunday. LOL It's a peaceful way to end the week and start the weekend.

It does make it somewhat easier when you have someone to talk to. I hate that so many of us have gone through this, but it helps to have someone that understands. Even if they have never been in the exact situation.

And, then add in difficulty with your family. If you don't agree on how things should be handled or if one making the situation harder because of money or whatever reason they have going on.

@mantaraye thanks so much for your condolences. I recently posted as well about losing my mom. It is so difficult and I'm have a very hard time so your post means a lot to me.

@mantaraye

I too, am one of those who lost someone recently and thank you for the kind post. My dad passed on the 4th of July. I'm not sure the word I am looking for, but I found it kind of comforting that he passed on Independence Day. The day that he and so many others have fought and are fighting for to give us all our freedom in America.

@mantarayeVery sweet and caring post.

This forum is such a blessing.

It was for me when I lost my mom.

Please add my prayers and good thoughts to anyone going through this very difficult time with their parents.
