OT:Condolence thread for Mike. Arrant is in Heaven now
Comments (35)Mike, I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am. Words cannot convey to you my sorrow. Strangely enough, the other nite, for the first time, I opened the box with Jake in it, not knowing what his ern was, or if there was one because they never asked me. A wonderful black and white puppy paw ern was in there. (I couldn't bring myself to touch his box or remove him from the very spot when he came home again.) I spent the evening in tears holding Jake again. Eventually, I placed him in the larger wooden box next to the ashes of my other doggy from 15 years ago. May your pain ease with time, for time is the only thing I have found that has helped me, and even now, I struggle. And my seperation from Jake was in July. Take heart my friend. They are not suffering, and they are happy and warm now, and waiting. Arrant and Jake are waiting for us at rainbow bridge. We will see them again one day, be reunited, and cross the bridge together. All my best Mike. Know that my thoughts, tears and heart are with you now in your time of sorrow....See MoreOakleyok, your brother's passing
Comments (21)Oakleyok, sorry to be so late in expressing my sympathy about your brother's loss. From personal experience, I know how painful the loss of a sibling can be. In my case, I never expected to be an only child. I'm sure you didn't, either. Time heals the pain, though it can never completely erase the sense of loss. Talk about him with people who knew and loved him and encourage others to do the same. Refer to him by his name rather than "he". I believe a part of those who have passed remains in this world as long as they are spoken of. It's when no one ever mentions their names that truly cease to exist....See MoreGrieving the loss of my mother
Comments (33)I am glad I found this site, to see that others feel the same as I do. I lost my mother last week, she passed away Feb 27, 2013 at the age of 65. My mother was my soul mate, she was my best friend and recently she felt like a daughter. I miss the sparkle in her eyes. She had been ill for about 8 years, on and off, and each time she seemed to get better. She always had such a great attitude and sense of humor. I thought she would get better this time too. I was her caretaker, along with my father for the last 2 years. Before that I worked with her and saw her every day. I have seen her or talked to her every day of my life. I am only 30 years old and I always thought I would have her around for another 20. I still feel like a child, and without her I feel lost. I don't have children yet, and I know that when I do it will be bitter-sweet because she is not here. The pain I feel is very intense and I am exhausted, I have only begun grieving and I wonder when it will end (but I see now that it never will). I am not sure what to make of all these strange feelings. A week before she passed away, angels came to me and told me that she would feel better by the end of the following week. Even though my interpretation was wrong, they were right, she does feel better. Since her passing she has been talking to me and that is a huge comfort, she tells me she is happy and that she will always be by my side. She tells me she is excited to meet her grandchildren. She has been telling me not to wait to live my life anymore, to have fun. She also said to think of her transition as a long vacation, we will see each other again when my flight lands. My story is so similar to all the others I have read, so I am sure your mothers are by your sides helping and guiding you through your lives. Talk to your mothers because they hear you and the love they feel for you is pure....See MoreMy condolences to Redskin fans
Comments (10)You never saw a post-game McNabb interview after a loss...it was always "I have to work more on getting the guys to work together". He considers himself flawless....has great statistics, but freezes when he gets inside the 20 yard line. The fact that all they could get for him was a 2nd and 4th round draft pick shows how teams were not really interested in this diva. He has a very, very small following in Phila. He's basically not a team player....See More
