Re: Good Friday...not so good

Jules ... With tears streaming down my face I offer my sincere sympathy to you. In so many ways the death of your dad and mine were similar. Please know that he knew you were there with him til the end. My dad could no longer squeeze my hand but he did blink his eyes as I entered his hospital room. Your dad is free from pain and suffering and has joined your mother once again in that heavenly place. I wish I could give you a real hug right now but being hundreds of miles away I'll just extend my love and a cyber hug to you for now. What a blessing your little puppy has been and will be to you in the days ahead. Remember, God works in mysterious ways and he brought your puppy "home" at the perfect time for you. My thoughts and prayers are never far away and I have been thinking of you non-stop these past several days. {#emotions_dlg.wub}

Oh, Jules - I am so very sorry for your loss. My heart is broken for you. It's good that your beloved parents are together again but it is devastating for you, I'm sure. May The Lord bless you and keep you through this very difficult time.

Jules, I'm so sorry for your loss and I understand your pain. My mom was comatose for 3 days before she passed and I was with her. I took comfort that she squeezed my hand while I was talking to her so I know how important that connection is. Your Dad is with your Mom now, both are at Peace. Thank you for such an eloquent post in your time of sorrow and you are in all of our thoughts and prayers.

Re: Good Friday...not so good

Jules, please accept my condolences. Have been keeping up with your posts on your dad's condition. Could feel the pain with you. You did everything you could possibly do for him. And now he is at peace with your mom. Know your being able to be with him was difficult, but a wonderful thing to have happened.

Know that the next few days will be a total blank for you, but you sound like such a strong woman......and a good thing you have your new baby with you. What a comfort she will be for you.

Take care and know that you will be my in thoughts and prayers.

Re: Good Friday...not so good

Jules, with tears in my eyes thinking about you and how bad you feel I would like to tell you that many thoughts and prayers from you cyber friends are with you right now. May all your special memories and caring love you extended to you Dad when he really needed you be a comfort to you as you go through this sad time. Remember always you gave you Dad a gift when you told him how much you loved him and that he was the best Dad and he could go to be with your Mom. I have walked the path you are walking with my beloved parents and it really hurts but my Mom and Dad always told me they would always be watching over me and I could always talk to them. It has been quite a few years since they have been gone and I talk to them all the time and it seems they are listening I feel them around me all the time. We were always told when a loved one passed away during Lent they go straight to heaven so I hope you Mom and Dad are with my Mom and Dad and they are making plans to go dancing. My parents loved to dance also. Like everyone else on here I send to you a hug and sympathy for you great loss.
