In Memory

[moppies]

It is today two years since my dad passed away.

I thought that the hurt and pain will never go away but eventually it is getting better each day.

Luckily the memories he left behind, will never fade in our hearts!

Still miss you daddy!

For me it is 4 years this year , January 23. I miss my dad so much. I am told time heals all pain but I think it is more a case of time helps one manage and move on .
Miss him so much.

I thought I was the only one in the boat... 31 January was 3 years since my Dad passed away suddenly.
The pain never goes away - it just varies day to day... but the memories are forever!

Mine has been gone for almost 7 years now, he passed the 14th of September of 2004 and my Mom in October of 2008, i constantly think of my dad, he was my inspiration, but i know he is with me all the time, time does heal yes, it took me 4 years to get over his death, i was in a terrible state of disbelief and grief, if it wasn't for my dogs, husband and sons, i probably would have still been in a state of shock!

My daughter passed November 2008. One month after I joined Bidorbuy. Will never, ever get over it.

Oh Miems, i think it must be harder for a mom and dad if one of their children pass away, i will have to be put into some kind of institution if this happened to me, i admire you for trying to carry on, life is so unfair some times, just makes me sad all over, i am so sorry for your loss, xx!

Many we have lost, passed too soon.....

I also lost my father on 23 January - but when I was 6 years old and my sister only 2.

All these many decades later, I still miss him greatly!

Miems, I can think of nothing worse than losing a child and you are in our prayers. No amount of time can heal such a pain, I'm sure.

I can only agree with you Lily I lost my Dad twenty years ago in July. My husband four months ago I would not have got through this with out the great friends I have here on Bidorbuy. Miems and Lily I shall ever forget what you did for me during the darkest days. And you still both there I truly appreciate it very much.

Thank you all for these wonderful words of inspriration and encouragement. It's been 11 weeks now since my husband passed away, and I have gained so much strength from all my friends on the Forum who are always quick to pick me up when I am down. Of course there are dark days - but generally I am coping and it's getting better all the time. There are going to be hard times ahead - for instance when I (hopefully) sell my home of 20 years and have to move on (to who knows where at this stage).

To all the people out there who are going through rough times, or who have lost someone dear to them, (human or animal) - just know that you are not alone.

Love and Peace!
Wendy

Ah, Wendy. Prayers are with you and angels are regularly directed towards you and your family.

It is sometimes difficult to put one foot in front of the other when we have lost a special friend or loved one, but somehow we do and 'life marches on'.

The pain never goes away, not totally, but it seems, with each passing year, the 'petals' of the 'rose' open, more beautiful than the year before and, in time, we are able to breath in the fragrance of it's memories more than feel the prick of it's thorn.

Daddy...your rose is blooming.

My heartfelt love and sympathy to all who have lost a loved one. I lost my first husband a month to the day before our 2nd daughter was born - tomorrow is the anniversary of that day 26 years ago. The worst is I lost my oldest daughter that day too (then 2 yrs old). I was young and without prospects or a proper education so my then inlaws offered to look after the oldest while I finished a course at college. The old lady then used all types of bribery, blackmail and whatever she could think of to keep my daughter from me - even went so far as involving her doctor by having "heart attacks", fainting spells, hysteria every time I tried to fetch my baby.
The day I managed to find them to fetch her (already 30 months old) she ran down the street in hysterics, screaming that I was killing her granny who had once more had a "heart attack". I had their priest, their doctor, their neighbours and their whole family screaming at me to leave her.
The old lady passed away months ago, and now with her gone and the birth of my first grandchild, I am battling to come to grips with the fact that suddenly she wants me in her life, and in my granddaughters life. For the past 26 years I have mourned her loss, seeing her rarely, and longing always to be a part of her life. It's not easy to forget the hurt of loss, but one learns to rely on friends and lean on family to make it just that little easier as each day passes.
At this stage I could not bear to lose anyone else, I would rather it were me, if something had to happen.

BB if your daughter reach out to you, take her in your arms and don't let go. Forgive her, and forget the past! Remember she was still a baby 26 years ago and under the influence of her grandmother! Please, please, dont let go of her. Love her and your grandchild while you are still alive. The years inbetween will roll away before you know!
