Re: Bob
My Condolences to you Bob "Veg" I certainly know as many others of the loss of one or both of our Parent's. You have a special place in my Thoughts, Prayers and Heart now and always.
This past Tuesday, April 1st {April Fools Day} would have been my Mother's 93rd Birthday. This July would have been my Father's 96th Birthday. Needless to say, both of them let us at 80-years old and after a wonderful 52-1/2 years of Marriage.
Know that we are all here for you and we will be available however you need someone to talk too or E-Mail anytime.
Peace, Blessings, Prayers, Luv of Friendship and Hugs, Steve

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us,
"With the spirits of the righteous made perfect, give rest to the soul of Your servant, O Savior, and preserve it in that life of blessedness which is with You, O You Who loves mankind.”
“With the Saints give rest, O Christ, to the soul of Your servant where there is no pain, nor sorrow, nor suffering, but life everlasting.”
"God of spirits and of all humankind grant rest to the soul of the deceased, now asleep in a place of light, a place of renewed life, a joyous place."
“May your memory be eternal.”
AMEN and so be it!
And as my ethnic group says at funerals to the survivors of the deceased "Life to you". Meaning, through the sadness and loss may those still living find fulfilment comfort, peace and eventually joy.

i just found this post, I am sorry for your loss. a parent is a very hard person to loose. you never do get over it but you do get on, i always remember that i am now my mother's face in the world and that gives me strength and hope for the future.
i hope you can find strength in that and in family and friends

You have my deepest sympathies, Veg. As we mature, our relationship with our parents changes and sometimes it is more difficult to lose a parent later in our lives. My father died when I was 17 and as difficult as it was, one is more resilient at 17. I always missed him, but when my mother died a few years ago when I was 44, I felt an indescribable grief and it took a long time to adjust. They are the foundations of our families, our biggest fans and love us no matter what.
Time will help ease the pain somewhat and I wish you peace. There will be a day when your memories will provide more smiles than tears.
For whatever it is worth, I will share something that may seem trite, but remembering it gave me some comfort. One day when I was probably 6, my mother was showing me pictures of her own mother whom I never met. She was explaining that her mother had died a long time before. Perhaps I didn't fully understand death, just that someone you loved wasnt' there anymore. I then asked her to promise not to die. She thought for a moment and said - "Well, there may be a time when you won't be able to see, touch or hear me, but if you keep me in your heart and mind, then I will live as long as you do".
And I guess it is true.

Thank you
Thank you all for your emails, calls, cards, and kind thoughts. They are a genuine comfort during this difficult time.
For now, I'm holding on to something a friend said: "May your grief be short and your memories long."
Much love to you all,
veg
