Sorry to hear of your loss Badnews Bob, I lost my Mom a few years ago and all I can say is unbelievably you learn to accept it. Having a belief in Jesus helps, for then we can know we will all be together again in heaven.
My prayers will be with you and your family, you are not alone, we are all here for you. Some have gone through it and others will, it is as much a part of our lives as everything else....<><.... :|

Thanks MSP, Very little remorse here, My Mom has been ill for quite some time, Its a blessing she finally went home. I've share losses with several members here and like I said its comforting to know you guys care.

By the way being from a very Irish background, I've learned to respect the dead but rejoice the living, I'm sure there will be a lively Irish wake this weekend. My Mom would want it so.

Sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad and Father in law this year. It's tough but my wife is taking care of the crying. I can understand how you feel it's a blessing. Both Dads went quick and it was kind of a shock but neither of them were good patients.. My thought and prayers are with you. Don't feel strange for turning to GBO. It was the first thing I did when the dust settled. There's support here if you need it and entertainment to take your mind off all the other stuff that's going on.

Sorry to hear of your loss, Bob, but I know how you feel about the pain and suffering, my mother spent a considerable time with a lack of quality to her life due to her illnesses, it was upsetting but a god send when she finally passed a few years ago. Hang in there, we're your cyber buddies! :wink:

I lost my grandmother 3 years back, it's nothing easy to deal with but she's in a better place now. Having faith in God does wonders. When it happened i was sad but then i was really pissed as well. My world really came crashing down. My prayers are with you and your family, You always have friends here at GBO.

Bob I'm sorry for your loss. But always remember that to be absent from this body is to be present with God.
I just today finished writing a study that you can find in the Bible Study forum. "When We Die" is kinda long, but when you have time it might bring a little peace and comfort to you.

mag41vance · « **Reply #13 on:** March 12, 2005, 02:47:00 PM »

Glad you find this place to be like an old friend.
There is a peace that passes all understanding. It sounds as if you're on the right track.
Prayers to you and your family.

Sorry to hear of your loss Bob. I lost my mother 4 years ago to a stroke. She was just beginning to show signs of Alzheimers but the massive stroke took her quick. I thank God every day that she didn't suffer very long. You never get over the hurt it just gets easier as the days go by. You will be in our prayers.

Bob,
Sorry to hear of your loss. My wife and I lost 3 parents in
a period of 20 months so I know the hurt you now feel. Stay
active, remember the good times and God will see you thru.

Bob
May God give you peace and strength. My mother is still alive but ill as well. My mother-in-law, who I got to be very close to in the 30 years I knew her, passed away slowly due to cancer. She spent her last 3 months of her life here where we could take care of her. It, too, was a blessing but hard to take, non the less.

I took comfort with by recurve bow, odd as it sounds, we fing release where we can, I guess. Glad you like us enough to come here for comfort.

Sorry to hear of your loss. I know how you feel. My mother passed away back in 86. The next year my daughter was born. All she wanted was some grandchildren but never got to see her. Hardly a day goes by that I don't think about her and what her and my daughter could have done together. My mother was only 52 when she passed away.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sorry for your loss , Bob. I feel kind of like you about here on GB. These people here are the greatest, and I mean that! I lost my father to pancreatic cancer in '94. I feel I still haven't grieved enough. We have always been close, but we seemed to be best buds the last 3 or 4 years befored he passed away. Prayers be with you.

Sorry about your loss. I lost my Dad in June. It's tough if it was a long process or a short one. Either way it's very hard to prepare for it. It was and still is very difficult to think about. However I know that death is really the next step of life. We will all go through the same process. Remember the love your Mother has for you and all the good times. It will never be easy but it does get better with time. Godspeed and take care.

tom barthel · « **Reply #21 on:** March 13, 2005, 09:53:43 AM »

You have my sympathy. I lost my mother in December 1999. I didn't learn of her death until about a month later. I was unconscious and in critical condition at the time. I know she is no longer in pain. My brother suggested something to me that helped me to accept it. He said just be thankful for having a mother 57 years. I try to remember all the good times. I don't know you but I will pray for you. It is never easy to lose a loved one.

Take care and GOD bless you and yours.

Tom

Gents the funeral was today and everyones calmed down. Thanks for your support, The dead have been respectfully mourned, Now it's time to celibrate the living. Best wishes to all.

Varmitcaller · « **Reply #23 on:** March 15, 2005, 03:52:11 PM »

My prayer for you and family Bob,is that God reminds you of the good times you shared. Know this can be a rough time. Time does heal some.

Lost my Dad in a farming accident in 1977 and my Father in law this past Good Friday. Mother in law has alzheimers and my mother had a stroke over 3 years ago. The trips to the rest homes is getting old but still thankful I can at least go weekly to tell them I love them. Be Thankful for each day we are given.

This short life we lead on this earth right now is not so much about who we are or what we do, but more about the many friends we make on this earth and the Future Plans we each choose for where we spend the next life. We get the option of either Smoking or Non-Smoking. That sounds a little flipent but we make the choice of where we will spend eternity.

May God continue to Bless you!
