Oh dear.
P, I didn't mean to put pressure on you. I just want you to think about coming to NYC. Obviously if you don't feel up to it, no one will hold it against you.
I was merely suggesting that it might give you a little break. But you do what you need to do.
Sorry.
And you can call me any time. Day, night whenever. Leave a message if I don't have my phone on. I will call you back. |

......My prayers are with you and yours. Many people suffer strokes and recover well, just keep that in mind LJ. I worked in the medical profession for many years so I know what I am talking about. Hang in there. I will send a special prayer to my long lost girl, she will help. God bless. |

I just want to say thank you to all of you.
Your kind words, PM's, emails and phone calls have given me strength.
I'm doing okay. I really am. Tired and still feeling in a dream like state, but I'm coping.
Many thanks from LJ and family.

I felt exactly as you describe when my Daddy passed away. I was soooo exhausted (and my dang back had gone out the night before so I was in pain to boot) and I went way up and down in terms of my energy. It did feel like I was walking through the days in a dream state.
And I was ok too.
Thanks for taking a minute (during this busy and difficult time) to let us all know how you are LJ. :-)
We dearly love you ( yes, I am taking the liberty to speak for all of us! ) LadyJane.
Take care of you darlin'.
peace on you sister,
Martha
PS Had a second dream about my Dad last night. He WANTS me to go to NYC! I'll SEE you in 7 days!
Seven more days.......! |

You certainly speak for me, Martha. Losing a parent is the toughest thing in the world other than losing a child, from what I've read. |

Losing my Dad is unlike any other grief I've ever gone through truthfully. The tears come and go like the rain. I think I'm ok, then suddenly the rain falls down....and I am ok again...but in a different way than before.
It's those tears that help the hurt heal, bit by bit. Let them fall.
love,

It's really hitting me today........got to go face all of those people.
All I really want to do is be alone........but I must do this for Mom.....
It's true......nothing prepares you for this.
So...those of you that still have your Parents....give them a call or give them a hug today.
On with the show..........here I go.

I did better on the viewing day than I ever imagined I would. It (suprisingly) comforted me so much to "be with" my Dad at the funeral home. I talked to him ( a lot) and I felt peace rather than intense grief (that came later when I was in the hotel and collapsed) while I was there. I felt very close to him and that comforted me greatly.
It was so nice to greet the people who came to pay their respects to my Mother and Dad. I really appreciated that aspect of the day.....and I could have easily NOT felt able to do any of this. That's why I felt so surprised about how it all went for me.
I know you will do okay throughout, no matter how you are feeling..those feelings take you on a rollar-coaster ride. It's ok to be where you are at every minute.
I pray you receive lots of comfort today.
I'm right there with you sister...in spirit and with love.
always,
Martha

As Hugh Robert Orr wrote:
They are not dead who live
in hearts they leave behind.
In those whom they have blessed
They live a life again,
And shall live through the years
Eternal life, and grow
Each day more beautiful
As time declares their good,
Forgets the rest, and proves
Their immortality.

I wish you strength. Again, I know how you feel. I spoke at my Mom's funeral, and right up until the moment I did it I didn't even know if I would be able to stand up. When it came time, though, I found the strength. I know you will too.

I feel like the luckiest and most loved girl on the Planet.
What a beautiful afternoon-evening.
Everything was PERFECT..........a few tears shed.....but seeing how beautiful and peaceful Mom looked...I could only smile. At least 5 people said to Me "This may sound inappropriate but you look beautiful and are glowing".
Howe could I not??? Family, friends, work mates and my Dad. All of my support team.
Highlight....Mom's two oldest friends came in together. The three of them have been friends for over 50 years. One says to me "You like those Rolling Stones, don't you? Your Mom always told us about your adventures"
And thank you to Martha, Parmeda, Nanky and TomL for the BEAUTIFUL flowers. My family no longer gives me the "look" when I mention my "Rolling Stones Internet Friends". Now you are all a part of our family.
Tomorrow morning is a Catholic Mass and then I will try to rest.
I love you Mom!!!!!!! Rest now....all the pain is gone.
LJ.

So sorry LJ. I didn't realise it had gone so far. My condolences. Words are useless I know, but she will be always be with you. Listen carefully, be aware,and she will let you know she remains, just not here anymore, somewhere much better. |

Dear Lady Jane,
Besides to, humbly and honestly, renew my apologies for some posts of mine in the past, I'd like to let you know that I'm praying for you and your mum.
I know how hard might be a moment like this - my daddy passed away, still young, and suddenly, a few years ago -, but I wanna say to you: go ahead, with no sadness, sorrow or regret if you feel happy. Do whatever you have to do to be happy and back to your regular life as soon as possible.
I'm telling you that because when my dad gone I spent many months in pain and suffer, until I realize that I should just let it go and carry on.
After all, I had nothing more to do about it, except pray for him and my mum, which, hopefully, still is with me. So, then I could help her get over her pain and, like me, move on.
From the bottom of my heart, I wish all the best and that hapiness might be always with you.
The world is a better place having people like you, and specially for us, your Rocks Off/Rolling Stones mates.
Be in peace, sweetheart.
