As you know, I lost my beloved Maddux the day after you lost Frodo. I am in the same place as you, I have times of peace and acceptance, then something like seeing a picture, or a memory surfaces, and I am racked with pain once more. Last week my Stepdad (really my dad he raised me) was diagnosed with a suspicious mass in his brain. He is having a Pet scan Wednesday. He is deteriorating at a rapid pace, so we are all so scared for him and ourselves. He is the last living parent. This part of growing older sucks. Hugs my dear. Have strength to do whats right for Arwen. Maybe she is ready to be with Frodo.Tracey Leederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618831763441517939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7160421461079825663.post-91222561064204058732012-09-10T08:43:31.174-04:002012-09-10T08:43:31.174-04:00I know the pain of loss and the struggle in trying...I know the pain of loss and the struggle in trying to get on with life. I believe you have found your way of mourning and release and it created beauty. Putting that love and light into something to be cherished and touched when you need to is a glorious gift.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000223877502634308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7160421461079825663.post-7074571051087161822012-09-10T06:07:06.726-04:002012-09-10T06:07:06.726-04:00I am so very sorry and I feel for you very much. L...I am so very sorry and I feel for you very much. Loss is such a horrible thing to bear for those of us left behind, but the wonderful memories of happy times you shared are always there, and our loved ones remain with us in our hearts.<br />I also remember how I felt having to watch my beloved Bracken become more and more ill and finally having to let her go - I am sending you many blessings and my warmest wishes.

I wish there was something to help you through this, other than hoping for comfort and consolation. Take good care of yourself.

Nothing....Back when my brother passed away, I received a card that really helped - I wish I could find more of the card, but I did save it, so here it is:<br /> <br />"I'll bet you've had about enough of people telling you how strong you are and how great you're doing during this awful, difficult period in your life.<br /><br />Maybe you'd rather hear someone say how much this sucks, how outrageous and unfair it is.<br /><br />Maybe you'd rather hear someone tell you that you don't have to be strong all the time. Or that it's definitely okay to curse fate and throw a tantrum or two.<br /> <br />So here I am to tell you all that stuff and more, to let you know where I stand, which is right in your corner. There's no right way or wrong way at a time like this.<br /> <br />However you work through this thing is immaterial to me.<br />All I care about is that you ask for what you need, lean on those who love you, and try to trust me when I say that you'll come out the other side."<br /> <br />(Jeannie Hund)<br /> <br />Those words helped me then, and they still help me every time I think of my father. And I am here when you are ready to rant and rave about how fucking unfair this is.<br />The bad Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13872470421712970604noreply@blogger.com
