Guest guest Posted September 9, 2002 Report Share Posted September 9, 2002 Hi Everyone! CONGRATS to all the " lossers " here! Wow !! looks like it has been a great week for the lost of pounds for many! I wanted to write this e-mail to thank all you wonderful people who are there for each and everyone of us. It is wonderful to get on the computer and see that we are all going through the same thing just at different points in our journey for weightloss. I think this is the best tool I have found for my journey. I dont expect to lose 120lbs over night but I do expect to lose them one day at a time. With your help is seems to be a resonsable goal now, on I can reach when I am ready. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THAT! Update on me... I am still extremely depressed but I am keeping in mind all the wonderful advise that has been given to me. I am telling myself that I will get through this without a weight gain, will become a better, happier person and today was my first hint of light at the end of this deep, dark tunnel. Tomorrow I have faith there will be more light and I will be one or two steps closer to it. Lance comes home in a bit over 2 months now.. I cant believe it has been so long since I have seen him but I cant believe how happy/scared I am to finally be in his arms again! I am just hoping that those arms will be tighter around me since there is less of me to hold! =0) I wish each and everyone of you a beautiful day filled with love and self acceptance! Take care and again THANK YOU! Tammi ===== " Most people want to be the sun that brightens up your life, but I'd rather be the moon that shines down on you in your darkest hours.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Sending condolences on the passing of your mom. It's such a bittersweet time. Hugs- Sandie Des Moines, IA dad, Merle, passed from LBD 9-20-02, age 65 ----- Thank you all Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:00:06 -0000 A little over a month ago I was thinking my mother could be with me for years. She went into the hospital with pneumonia on December 23rd and came back home on December 31 with hospice support. Last night her breathing slowed, then stopped. In the preceding hours my sisters and I touched her, held her hands, cuddled with her, and talked to her about our childhoods and what a great job she did. We told her she could rest and that everyone was OK. It was the best ending we could hope for. Mom never got to the point where she didn't recognize people, her tremors never became too bad, she could always eat and swallow, and she was able to walk in December. I want to thank the loving, caring people on this group who were so supportive of everything I was going through. Thank you to those of you who shared your stories and made me feel less alone. I wish the best to those of you whose journey is ongoing. (daughter and loving caregiver of Lois Levitsky 1925--2012) ------------------------------------ Welcome to LBDcaregivers.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 , It is such a double sided sword. We want the disease gone and not them. So sorry and if we can help in any way, please let us know. After celebrating her life, you may need to do more grieving. it leaves such a big hole in our lives.

So sorry for your grief, but Lewy is no longer in control.  Jeff When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place.
