Thanks for the kind words Peggy.  It is tough, but I am taking it one day at a time....Lisa

its been really tough because i got disowned when i put my daughter in a group home at the age of 20 IQ 69 and being taken advantage of. during this time we went through ringworm a detached retina so i couldnt see him he went in at 10am that morniing by rescue if he wasnt going to die i never would of known just like the other times i found out from my daughter

thank you Peggy. I am not sure of anything right now . all i know is when my sister gained control i wasnt going to put a sick man through her screaming.no one was happy when i put my disabled daughter in a very good group home she was 20 then. some comfort i do have is that my sister and nephew were in the waiting room sleeping and i stayed by my fathers bedside. i have fibro so i dont sleep half the time anyway,but who could sleep then. he went very peacefully just stopped snoring and he was gone. i was the only one in the room. thats the memorie i carry as i touched his shoulder at 3:30am told him i loved him then he was gone.

the doctor missed this to cancer all over, and never knew she had cancer, she was fine sunday then monday when she got up. bam she was sick. weak. and never left the hoppital, and its monday again. i can't feel anything anymore, my heart is numb, i also took care of mom. and yes. they are helping me at the hospital. thank u all.

Hello Peggy,

I was just reading your message today - and just feel for you as we all try to find a way to deal with our lost.  My Dad will always be in my heart and our parents are so dear to us and that is why we honor them as we are instructed to do by God. 

I know, your parents meant so much to you - just think of the many good times you had with them.  I do not know your spiritual belief and will not impose mines on you - all I know is that we are all promised a better life then what we have here.   (Psalms 37:11)  I kept what God promised at the forefront of my mind and know that God can not lie and one day I am looking forward to seeing my Dad again.  I love him Dearly and miss his words of wisdom he spoke on so many ocassions. 

The one part of my father's departure I found hard to deal with was the decline in his ability to be independent and in basically sound health.  As time went on and he suffered a severe stroke - it hurt me to my heart to see him fight with the need to maintain a sense of independent and rapidly loose it.  I tried so hard to comfort him but he kept fighting the horrible odds and I cried so often for his lost-as his health deteriorated I took advantage in being with him as often as I could and at the same time tending to my mother who also suffered a stroke.  It was such a very hard point in my life - and no I do not regret taking on such a challenge.  I prayed so often and I know that is what got me through it all...when he did pass - I knew, he was not suffering any more.  He was not hurting any more ...he was at his death resting as we are told in the Bible at Ecclesiastes 9:5

Peggy - just hold onto the most beautiful memories that you have of your parents and pray.   You know what...I just had a thought - we will never get over our parents ..they are our parents..we will never forget them,the pain may be different as time goes on --but they will never be buried to the back of our minds.

Sorry for the delay Peggy - but I have been helping some close associates up in age and it hurt me because I wonder where are their children.  I feel for them. 

Anyway, I hope I am able to help.   I will try to keep a closer eye on my page, Thanks,

Hi Peggy,

It is hard dealing with any lost.  I lost my Dad in 2007 - and I miss him so much!  Sometimes, I just wish, I had just one more day - just to talk, laugh, and be happy with him.  I treasure the memories of my Dad.  I love to hear of  those who adhere to the scripture admonition in "honoring our parents" - it is such a pleasant and good feeling, (Exodus 20:12) 

Our parents deserves our love and protection as they reach the latter years of their life.  I feel, we can all treasure the loving memories of our parents by holding onto the beautiful feelings we have of them.  My spiritual belief is an added source of comfort, (Romans 15:4).  The Bible gives us so much hope and comfort in knowing that our love ones are not suffering. (Ecclesiastes 9:5). 

So, enjoy the memories of your love one and treasure the good thoughts and remember - God loves all of us and our parents are in his memory. (1 John 4:8; John 5:28)

Enjoy your day!!
