My father had a stroke..

[Cathleen]

My sincere condolences MK, to you and your family. I hope for peace for you all, especially during these next months.

This is something we had printed on cards which we used as thank you and gratitude notes. I don't know where it's from but a friend printed a calligraphy version and I've had it framed and it has sat on my bureau ever since.


Those we hold most dear

never truly leave us...​

they live on​

in the kindnesses they showed,

the comfort they shared​

and the love they brought into our lives.​

MK, I am so sorry to hear this sad news. I wish you and your mom strength and the comfort of each other in this sad time. Cry as often and as long as you need to. I hope you can get some rest. {{{{Warm hugs}}}}

I'm very sorry to hear about your Dad. It is one of the hardest things in the world to lose your parents.

MK, I'm very sorry to hear about your dad. You and your family will be in my prayers.

MK, I hope you and your family can find some peace, I think the decisions you made show a great love, don't second guess yourself.

I lost my parents 30 years ago, but they never go away, they are always there in my heart.

I'm very sorry about your father's passing and the grief that is now flooding your being. Let yourself feel, even if it hurts. Know that there will come the day when you will be able to think of your father and not grieve but celebrate his life and realize that he will always live through you. Peace be with you and all who loved your father.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. You made the right decisions and I hope this site has given you comfort with all of the supporting posts. I wish I had such support when I went through a similar crisis in my life with my father and later my mother.

I am not a particularly religious man but I do believe in the spirit. I believe the spirits of my parents live on and watch over me...it is comforting to think in those terms. I hope you think that way too.

Thank you everyone for you kind words, prayer and support, I really appreciate it and for the pm's some of you have sent me

Today was funeral and I have to say everything went like clockwork, bar the fact we had to double the size of the wake afterwards (Thankfully my uncle had decided to pick that tab up before hand lol... can't help but wonder if he regretted that course of action when he sent the bill....Ohwell )
I was truely surprised at the numbers we got for the funeral and support. My dad wouldn't have believed just how many came out for him. But goes to show just how much ones thought of him, coming up from southern ireland, england and scotland to be there and of course here. I hope I did him proud and we got him a good send off.

So sorry for your loss MK.

As with everything, just need to move on and try to take each day at a time... With any luck restof this year will improve and hopefully be better...can't be or get much worse...*****'s really too short to sit back and let your troubles swamp you and I know for a fact my dad would never want me to take that route...


Thanks Fata~

Hang in there MK, time has a way of taking care of things, it has been a year since a Cerebral Aneurysm took a brother of mine at 50.

The best thing to do is get tested for the prevention of it.
