Much positive energy sent your way.

My Mom died this year... what can I say ... feels like a hole in the heart.

Love,

H and I have you in our thoughts and prayers Mom, please try to take GOOD care of yourself right now. {{{{{{{Mom}}}}}}} KB

Mom,

I just recieved an e-mail (below) and then came here and saw your thread....it was so timely that I thought I'd share it.

Thinking of you and hoping this brings you comfort.

Daddy's Empty Chair
>
>A man's daughter had asked the local minister to come and pray with her father. When the minister arrived, he found the man lying in bed with his
>head propped up on two pillows. An empty chair sat beside his bed.
The minister assumed that the old fellow had been informed of his visit.
>
>
>
>"I guess you were expecting me", he said.
>
>
>
>'No, who are you?" said the father.
>
>
>
>The minister told him his name and then remarked, "I saw the empty chair
>and I figured you knew I was going to show up,"
>
>
>
>"Oh yeah, the chair," said the bedridden man. "Would you mind closing the door?"
>
>
>
>Puzzled, the minister shut the door. "I have never told anyone this, not even my daughter," said the man. "But all of my life I have never known how to pray. At church I used to hear the pastor talk about prayer, but it went right over my head." I abandoned any attempt at prayer," the old man continued, until one day four years ago, my best friend said to me,
>"Johnny, prayer is just a simple matter of having a conversation with Jesus. Here is what I suggest", "Sit down in a chair; place an empty
chair in front of you, and in faith see Jesus on the chair. It's not spooky because he promised, 'I will be with you always'.

"Then just speak to him in the same way you're doing with me right now." "So, I tried
it and I've liked it so much that I do it a couple of hours every day.
I'm careful though. If my daughter saw me talking to an empty chair, she'd either have a nervous breakdown or send me off to the funny farm."
>
>The minister was deeply moved by the story and encouraged the old man to continue on the journey. Then he prayed with him, anointed him with oil, and returned to the church.
>
>
>
>Two nights later the daughter called to tell the minister that her daddy had died that afternoon.
>
>"Did he die in peace?" he asked. "
>
>Yes, when I left the house about two o'clock, he called me over to his bedside, told me he loved me and kissed me on the cheek. When I got back
from the store an hour later, I found him dead. But there was something strange about his death. Apparently, just before Daddy died, he leaned
over and rested his head on the chair beside the bed.
What do you make of that?"
>
>
>
>The minister wiped a tear from his eye and said, "I wish we could all go
>like that."
>

All the best to you and your beautiful boys.

Mom,

So very sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. May God grant you peace and strength to endure this difficult time. Praying that your marriage will be healed, and you will be comforted as you morn the passing of your Dad.

HO

I am sorry for the loss of your father. Please take the time to grieve and care for yourself. You deserve it.

Mom,

My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to you and your family. You are right that your daddy is in a better place now and the pain you are feeling is for yourself for losing him. I lost my dad fifteen years ago this December and there are times I still miss him like it was yesterday.

Take care of yourself during this wretched time when your husband is being a pill. I know you have a lot on your plate with your mom and your boys but don't forget about yourself. To paraphase Dr. Phil, if you haven't taken care of yourself, what have you got to give to those in your life who need you.

My prayers and thoughts are with you.

So sorry to hear that your father passed, but realize also that his suffering is now over and the pain you and your mother felt watching him endure these last days can begin to subside. Remember the good times with him.

You have been so strong throughout all this. As everyone has said, allow yourself time to grieve. Be there for your mom.

Thinking of you...

My deepest condolences to you Mom2.

Take care

MTB3,

So the time has arrived. I am sad for you and your family, relieved and rejoicing for your dad. Your loss is truly heaven's gain. And now you have one among the angels rooting for you!

Take time to remember and to grieve.
