Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 Dear Gail, I'm so, so sorry to hear about your mother's death. I know how hard those first months are, having lost both my parents in the last few years (they died one year apart, on the same day - no coincidence there, I'm sure). I know you have heard this before, but it is so true, that time brings a different kind of grief. I miss both my parents a lot, but I now feel happy when I think of them instead of that horrible heart-wrenching grief that you start out with. My parents are so much a part of who I am that I can always feel them with me, and like you, I know they have been reunited somewhere now. I'm also so sorry that divorce had to coincide with your mother's passing - that is doubly painful. I hope that you will be able one day to see this as the start of a new phase instead of a time of just loss after loss. Hang in there - my thoughts are with you. in NV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 Dear Gail, I'm sorry to hear about the death of your mother. I know its so painfull to lose the mother, especially in your case she was a big support to you and your family, also after your divorse from your xdh. We have always to face facts & be stronger from what difficulties that comes infront of us. Our parents can't live forever for us, as we can't live forever for our children, this the life cycle that God created. Being a true believer will help us a lot. I pray to you to stay strong to be able to handle all matters with patiency.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 You have my deepest sympathy.May all your precious memories give you comfort.Sue. -- --------- Original Message --------- DATE: Wed, 9 Jul 2003 00:49:41 From: GPesses@... To: Cc: My summer has been one of reflection and again sadness. It has been a year since xdh walked out. We are now legally divorced. He has dragged out every issue so that even now, a year later, we have not settled property (yet). I am pushing to have this last piece finished by August. I have grown tremendously though at times unenthusiatically. I feel more competent and comfortable handling things for myself and the kids. I can say with 100% assurance that I am better off today than 13 months ago. As some of you know, my family has been my unwavering support. My mother's health has been declining over the last 18 months, but she continued to push on so that she could be there for me. My sister and I have grown so much closer. On June 1, my mother unexpectably had a massive brain hemorhage and died later that same day. Words cannot express the depth of my loss. As the days have gone by, I continue to feel the sting of her absence in so many little ways as well as in the more obvious ones. I miss having her here to talk to and share my life with. I truly believe that she is at peace and that she has been reunited with my father, who she dearly loved and missed. But the pain I feel will take a long time to heal. My mother was so committed to helping with her OCD. We designated the OCF as one of the recipients for donations made in Mom's memory. Mom and shared a special bond and Mom will continue to live on in the hearts and minds of her children and grandchildren.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 Gail, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. Nothing I can say will ease your pain but know that I will be thinking of you. You are so lucky that she was so supportive of you and 's fight to overcome her OCD. I will give you a big hug when I see you in Nashville. Anne in CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
