5. You can repair your post...
Edited on Sat Jul-17-10 04:21 PM by CaliforniaPeggy
At the bottom of your post you'll find the word revise, I think, or some such, in the lower right corner...

Then you can fix it. You have an hour from the time you originally posted to do this...

:hug:

The word is "edit."

9. Sorry to hear that.
The loss won't ever heal (nor should it), but it does get easier. :hug:

She's at peace and beyond suffering.

You can take comfort in that while at the same time missing her terribly.
.

If it helps, I've found that time can help heal in that the feeling of
overwhelming loss is offset by a realization that the folks I miss are
still here in my heart and in my head -- I eventually can even "talk"
to them, inasmuch as I think, "What would Carl (or Noreen, etc.) have
had to say about this?" or think how much something would have made
them laugh -- I can "hear" them sometimes -- and my loss is lessened
each time.
.
Right now I can hear one of my favorite people who is no longer "with"
us calling me an "old fool" -- she was probably 30 years my senior and
I loved hearing that.
.
Still do.
.
Your friend is not entirely gone. You have not REALLY lost her.
.
.
.
Strength and peace to you.

18. I am so sorry.
I am just back from the memorial service for three friends who were killed in an auto accident last week. A mother, father, son and son-in-law all taken out in an instant in a senseless accident. Please remember the good times and know she lives on in your heart.

21. My condolences.
When I was a kid, we lived in Thailand. Once went to the Bridge on the River Kwai, the famous site where so many Allied troops lost their lives. I remember vividly a tombstone there, it said "Those who live on in our hearts will never die."

Well, my mom is a big photography buff, and she took a pic of that. May be odd, but I treasure that photo now. Someone, some family somewhere, maybe they've seen that, maybe it's given them peace. I don't know. But the message gives me peace, cause death is painful, for those of us left behind.

Peace to you and yours.

Even knowing it was coming, it still has to be a big loss. :(
