Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Dear Gerry- I am so happy you have Harry in your life. It is so comforting having a shoulder to cry on and one that gives loving support. Wishing I could reach through this computer and give you a proper hug. You are in my thoughts and prayers every day. Many hugs- Sandie Des Moines, IA -- Re: Support I want to thank everyone for their responses and support given to me regarding my feelings of how I would prefer to celebrate the first anniversary of my Dad's death. My Mother has arranged for a Mass in Dad's honor. I am dreading sharing my emotions in public again. I would prefer to sit by the water. My Mother has no idea of my feelings. I have shared them only with this group and Harry. One solution we came up with, after the church service, Harry and I will take off for polis where I can sit on the dock, unwind and I can feel comfortable shedding a tear if I want to. Yesterday, my Mom told me she wanted to go to the cemetery and asked me if I wanted to go. Sad to say, I declined. I told her I just couldn't handle it As far as I am concerned, my Dad is not there. He is in heaven! It also bothers me that my Mother's name is on the musolium (sp) and I don't want to think about her death at this time. Yesterday was a weepy day. My Mother and I live in an over 55 acitve adult community. She lives right next to me. In fact we share a common wall and driveway. So I am always there for her. We are always toghether. I am very supportive, but I sure am having trouble dealing with my Father's death at this time. Another issue that may be bothering me is my birhtday is Monday. It sure does bring a mix of emotions! Harry is taking me to polis tomorrow. Hopefully, as we sit by the water and enjoy the beautiful surroundings, I will meditate and get a grip on my feelings. Thank you again. Hugs, Gerry Daughter and caregiver of Dick Deverell, who died on 9/11/05 after a more than 4 yr. battle with LBD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
