Caller Made me Cry

rms1954 — Thu, 15 Oct 2020 02:58:30 GMT

I know that most posters don't like the callers, but I found myself tearing up when that woman called in during Valerie's show just now. She was married 52 years and just lost her hubby in July. Call started out fine but she broke down partway through and it just choked me up. She sounded so sad. Oh my. Made me want to find her and just give her a big hug.

I didn't see it, but I would have teared up, too. 😢

@rms1954 She made me cry too. She said he died in July so that was very close. I feel like her conversation with Valerie and Jane made her feel good. God bless her.

I only watch a few shows on the Q and Valerie's is one. I heard the caller and felt sad for her and understood her grief. Maybe to some it didn't seem appropriate for that call to be made but I assume she is lonely and just looking to talk to someone. The fact that Valerie's show is bringing her some relief from her loss, as she stated,is a comfort.

I know watching Valerie's shows is always uplifting for me and an escape from all that is going on. Watching a good movie, listening to music also soothes and helps.as does reading a good book.

I don't know who the caller is but I do wish her peace of mind as she goes through her mourning and may the pain of her grief eventually subside and she is left with all the memories which bring a smile to her face.

I had it on and heard her call😢. From just her description of her spouse they truly had "true love" ...

Both Valerie & Jane were so gracious on the call allowing her to "have her moments"...I applaud both of them!

This caller will be smiling when thinking about her call with them🙂

Jane's story about Cardinals "visiting" after a death didn't come out quite right - Caller is watching for Robins.

@fthunt The caller then said Cardinals, so I thought she had just misspoken when she said Robins, but found this, which I hadn't heard before.

"Many people believe that a visit from a Robin is a sign that a lost relative is visiting them, in the spiritual world Robins are viewed as a symbol of visits from our deceased loved ones. The Robin also symbolises new beginnings and life, and is also looked upon by many as a sign of fortune and good luck"

Darling caller, we heard you, and if we could give a collective hug we would. I can't

imagine the lonliness you must be experiencing. I had such an ache in my heart after

listening to your call on the Valerie show. As I say my prayers tonight, you will be

included. God Bless and may you know peace as you mourn your husband.

I also feel like she was able to make a connection and it made her feel comforted. That's always a good thing.

I agree with you both.

And... I had tears in my eyes, too.💔

I too witnessed that sweet lady speaking about her late husband. Also brought tears to my eyee as I saw my mom in her. My mom lost my dad after 68 years of marriage. They had known each other from when mom was 7 and dad was 9. My moms heart is broken and I have seen her daily sorrow. She does have a grief counselor. I think it took courage for the woman to call and discuss her lost love! Jane and Valerie Treated her with grace and compassion!

I had tears in my eyes last night and the mourning caller as in my prayers. It warms my heart to read the messages this morning from the good hearted souls also sending compasssionate thoughts her way.

I heard that caller and geez it made me fill up with tears. I wish I could take her grief and sorrow away.

It was very, very touching.

Plus, it gave voice to the fact that QVC, its hosts and guests

are indeed friends and family to isolated, lonely viewers, despite those who call them mere salespeople. The connection is very vital for some.

I missed the call as I have been in and out of sleep a lot fairly recently. In all the posts between here and Facebook, everyone said the same thing, their heart breaks for her as does mine. They also said that Jane an Valerie handled it beautifully. A Testiment to both of them.

@MASSMOM your sentiment is so very beautiful. I said a prayer for the sweet caller as well.

So many aching and breaking hearts out there. I am sure it was helpful for the caller to be able to vent. Blessings to her as she tries to move forward.

@rms1954, I have never once cried over a phone call in my 27 years of watching QVC, I don't even like phone calls, but I cried over that one. Her pain brought me right back to my first months as a widow and that aching, empty feeling of trying to adjust to life without him. So I had a good cry as I listened to her speak. I thought the same as you because I wished I could give her a hug so bad. She clearly needed it. My heart broke for her. I hope she felt all the mental hugs that were being sent her way as I'm sure there were many.
