LOSING A LOVED ONE

Hi Teri, I I lost my dad a few weeks after my son was born ten years ago. Now my mum is very ill. I relate to so much of what you have written, though I was not my fathers carer. To be unforgiving is like having poison in you. It serves a person no benefit and if it's there because you are directing it at someone else, they don't care. You only hurt yourself more. I am pleased that you had time with your father and have the peace of mind you have now.
Yes Annie B, I am very grateful for the time I spent with my dad. Believe it or not I lost my step dad one month later. I was also fortunate to be able to care for and spent time with my step dad as well. I have you and mum in my prayers
Blessings
Terri
So sorry for your loss of a dear loved one. Nothing is as important as those we hold dear. I know you miss him very much...I lost my only brother awhile ago but like you I take comfort that he knew the Lord.
Absolutely, there is nothing more important than family and close friends. I truly miss my dad, but I know his is with me in my heart. I am very grateful that he knew the lord..
Thanks for your condolences
God Bless you Rsgo2mon
Your thoughts on living with no regrets and missing your dad touches my soul.
My father gave me so much and being there at his last breath has been a celebration every year with all the memories. Every choice in my life since has been an extension of what he taught me in life - to never miss the opportunity to reply, comment, help or share with others, for that moment may be the last moment.
Each moment and each memory keeps my father with me every day. I hope the same for you as your loss is filled with memories that are forever, moment to moment. ^_~caylynn
Hi Caylynn, right now the memories of my father are full of smiles, laughter, and nuggets of wisdom. It touched my heart to write this blog to share and maybe help someone else losing a loved one. So many times I have heard people say I wish or I should, even in my family, have done things a little differently. If this post just helps one person make a better choice, then I am glad.
Thanks for sharing. I wish you many blessing and happiness
Each and every day, with no regrets. Thank you for your blessings. May happiness fill your life too. ^_~1933/5/28
I am sorry for your Lose. I am a person that is always moving to the next thought when dealing with something I don't want to think about. So of course every once in a while I get bombard with a thought that I could not keep back any longer. That is the way it is for me with missing my mom... I too am glad I had the time with her. There are those times when a thought will hit me out of nowhere, I will have to cry for a little then I do as I always push in a new thought. One thing unless you lose a parent you will never understand what it feels like... I know you will say Amen to that.
God bless you

I say AMEN. No one can understand; until you lose a parent. During those moments when I think about something my father said or did that puts a smile on my face. Then I start to miss him. I know that with time it will get better. I am so grateful to still have my mom. I want to do what I can to make the rest of her life enjoyable

Thanks Kymee for the post.
Blessing to you
Very nice post. I lost my disabled brother about three years ago. I still miss him terribly. I am just happy for the time we had together and like you, I was his primary caregiver and I wouldn't trade that time together for anything. It sounds like you have been blessed by the time you had together. Cherish that.
I would like to follow you as we have much in common. I wish you all the success possible.

Hi Kali, my heart is full right now just thinking about the times daddy and I shared together. I will cherish those moments for the rest of my life. Thanks for the follow and I am following you as well.
I wish you the best that life has to offer
Be Blessed
We are just strangers in this world. Our real home is not the place we come from, but the place we are going to. May God comfort you in your grief during your temporary separation from the earthly father which God gave you. If he had Jesus Christ in his heart, the next time you see him he will be perfect.
Hi Prolife, my greatest joy was leading my dad into the prayer of salvation and having the comfort of knowing I will see him again. He will be perfect.

Having lost both my parents and my wife's your message rings so true. The time we spent together before those passings was so precious. You are right that life is full of choices and I find it so sad that many of the children in my own children's generation, have chosen to distance themselves from their parents, come what may. Time will tell,
Regards
Hudson.
Hi Hudson, all though passing of life is inevitable, knowing that time was well spent helps the grieving process a little more. As our children experience the passing of more family members and friends, hopefully they will choose to cherish those moments.

Hey Terri. I know how you feel. I lost my husband two years ago to brain cancer and it has been a rough ride being without my partner. I lost my parents several years ago and it was hard but losing my husband still is a hard one to handle. Have to try to keep the spiriits up and moving forward. God Speed
