Big hugs and sympathy for Des Arc YaYa....

13 years ago

YaYa lost her mother this morning. Miss Wilma had had a really bad stroke about a month ago and was finally allowed to come home to YaYa's house just yesterday, with the assistance of hospice.

YaYa and her mother were so very close and I know this leaves a huge hole in her heart. The family was there, but I think this was still a great big shock to them.

YaYa, honey- I am so sorry for your loss and I hope you find some solace in knowing how much we all love you.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this. It was just too fast after she got home and must have been such a blow. Still, it sounds like you and your brother have a good attitude in realizing that it was a nice passsing for your mom. My prayers are with you.

seeing my husband asleep, he is in so much pain when he is awake and sleep is so fleeting for him, right now he is asleep. seeing sunshine pouring through my windows, snow melting, birds singing, (and in summer my garden makes me smile) seeing my son when he is happy and excited about life. seeing my mom (almost 90) and my sister still alive and having a good day, with less pain. my two kitties and the two kitties of my sons, they just love unconditionally seeing good people treating other good people, good and even being kind to people who treat them bad innocence

That quiz is cool. But it says that I sound like North Central. Don't know about that! When dh lived in NC the people there thought he was from Virginia. Apparently our Cdn accent sounds like Virginians....

Bless you, Stephanie in Ga, for your concern for these recently-arrived neighbours in their sorrow and for how best to express your concern. How about just going over, ringing the doorbell, and when they answer, to express your concern and empathy for them in their sorrow? If you feel so drawn to, especially if it's the mother and she seems to be accepting your kindness in a certain way, maybe to open your arms to offer a hug. After the initial discussion, how about saying that you'd considered taking up a neighbourhood collection, or offering food on a rotating basis, assuring them that your desire was to offer whichever service would be most meaningful/helpful to them? Greetings Sue VA, I feel distressed that you were so troubled by the generous gift from your neighbours/friends on the death of your husband. Sometimes the huge pain of death of a loved one causes us to react to events in unusual ways, and I regret that you laid this extra suffering on yourself at that time: you had enough to contend with as it was. Almost certainly their gift indicated their desire to express their sincere concern at your time of sorrow and pain, not to judge that you were needy. Sometimes, it seems to me, we are more willing to offer a gift to others than to accept one graciously when it is sincerely offered to us. Is it a function of our desire to be independent, to pick up our own marbles, to not need to depend on others for anything, I wonder? You spoke of the difficulty of forgiving them ... and I am wondering ... what was there to forgive? They had expressed their concern, in what they felt to be an appropriate way, a tangible one, in a good, generous spirit. Whatever the reason ... I am sorry that it has caused so much hurt and trouble for you ... and for so long! Is it still troubling your heart? Have you talked it over/out with a counsellor? If it is, I hope that you will consider doing that ... please get this painful boil on your back lanced, so that it can heal and the pain be gone! Life is too short to carry around a load of pain like that ... especially when quite a few would consider it largely unnecessary, I think. I hope that you will not consider what I have said as criticism of you ... it is intended only as regret at the way that you chose to react to this event in your life and the resultant pain that it has caused. Good wishes to you during the coming days. ole joyful
