My Brother and Aunt died this week

Lynnnmo, so sorry to hear of all the passings in your family recently. Am at a loss for words also except saying prayers for your strength in these trying times. {{{hugs}}}

I’m so sorry for all the losses you’ve had in such a short time, Lynnmo! It is fine to bring your heartache here. We are family! I’m not going to pretend to know the reason for all this loss. I’m sure God has a plan. I was thinking today about how life has endings but also beginnings. We lost our beloved TDK sister Renee in Arkansas this week, yet we are also celebrating the marriage of Shelley today.

Do you have anyone near you who can spend time with you or give you a hug? There are plenty of folks here willing to do this virtually, but it would be a blessing if there is a friend or family member who could help you right now where you are located. There must be support groups in your area for people who are grieving the death of a loved one through suicide or otherwise.

Take good care of yourself, Lynnmo. I hope the headache eases soon. {{{hugs}}}

Lynnmo I am terribly saddened to hear your news. There are very few word that seem to help when everything is going wrong. What a blessing that you had a family dinner to make that memory of family before your aunt passed. In the years to come you will be able to remember her with those she loves. Prayers of peace and comfort to you as you deal with more grief than one should have to bare.

No Person is Ever Truly Alone

by Richard Fife

No person is ever truly alone.

Those who live no more,

Whom we loved,

Echo still within our thoughts,

Our words, our hearts.

And what they did

And who they were

Becomes a part of all that we are,

Forever.

Lynmo, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Lynnmo, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Purrs and hugs to you.

I’m so sorry for your losses Lynn.

Lynn..I’m so sorry and weeping w/you for all your loss. I’m so, so sorry! {{{Hugs}}} Lynn there are no answers to Why? None that ever seem to suffice when we hurt like this. Try to reflect on the good, warm memories of all your loved ones and remember that we all will meet again on the bridge way to Heaven. Be strong hon and please feel free to email me anytime.karenopa[at]yahoo[dot]com

I am so sorry for your losses. That is so tough, and I can’t even begin to imagine what you’re going through. I know that everyone says the same thing, and it doesn’t seem to help, but this too shall pass! I will be thinking of you. Keep strong.

Please find a survivor’s group or grieving group to help you deal with your losses. They are usually low or no cost.
