grieving

[patti4me]

So sorry for your loss.  It will get easier in time but of course will never be forgotten.  I lost my mother in 2007, my dad in 2008 and my mother-in-law in 2010.  Not a day goes by that I don't think of them.  It doesn't hurt quite as bad as it did, but the hurt and loss is certainly still a part of my day to day life.  On December 1st my brother-in-law passed away suddenly at the age of 57.  I immediately got in my car and drove the 2  1/2 hours to my sister's house where I spent a week with her.  When I left she was still numb but needed to get back to her routine.  I can't even imagine losing a spouse.  They had been married 35 years and were devoted to each other.  I pray for God's comfort for her nightly.

I'm sorry you lost your father.  I sense from your writing that you have tons of good memories of him. When my mother died this year, I couldn't even think of her without crying. She would have hated that.   I had millions of good times to look back on, but my grief got in the way. Now, seven months later, I can get a smile on my face when I think of her. I miss her deeply.  I don't know what a latka is, but good luck with that. You'll make them with love, as your father did.

Thanks and a latka is like a potato pancake only the potatoes are grated and you put onion and a few other things in then fry them up nice and golden brown. And as I spoke about daddy at the funeral I was crying some.

Okay so two holiday's down without daddy. It was okay but we did come home to spend New Years with my mom. They had their first date on New Years Eve. So to keep us from getting to upset we played cards last night. My daughter actually won witch was odd.

So sorry for your loss. This is part of life that no one ever gets used to. Grief is so devastating for all who lose loved ones but your mom is probably hurting worse than anyone and loss of a loving spouse is something you may never get over. You just learn to live with the pain and cling to the good memories.

I'm so very sorry for your loss.  I understand about being disappointed in family not doing as they should.  I've lost two family members that I took care of pretty much alone and yet everyone acted so hurt when they passed.  I'll say a prayer for you and your family.

I can so sympathize with that.  And I know it is wrong to have the thoughts but when someone is in a nursing home for almost 3 years and you have people who NEVER went to see them then don't be all crying at the funeral and talk about how much you miss them.  I actually had a cousin tell me I could not cry at Pappaw's funeral.  I was upset starting a couple of days before Christmas and she texted me and is like "no crying" and I can't cry in front of Mammaw.  Really?  Well, I cried several times and I don't think I am in the wrong for doing so.

  My husband of 34 years passed away two years come 1/23/15 and I still struggle with the loss of him daily.  I had just lost my mom two years before that so it is hard - I will pray for peace and comfort for you and your family.  I am sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss. Know it must have been difficult for you,

First let me say how sorry I am for your loss.  Its always very hard to loose a loved one, but at Holiday time is even harder.
I will keep you in my prayers that you can heal from this grief.
Secondly, I was wondering how your latke recipe turned out?  I bet you daddy was smiling down on you for making them.
Always remember, he won't ever be far  away from you because he is in your heart.
