tkwasny User ID: 77839169 United States 06/19/2021 09:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My parents died a week apart about 12 years ago. What I can't let go of is how they chose to never go out and do the things that made them happy. It was an unshakable commandment to instead hoard money for the "rainy day". I vowed to use income to be happy, not just safe, fed, housed, clothed. All those things too, but am I using my income and resources to end up happy? I am. |

They were ready and it was a mercy when it came. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77747215 Yep it's all about your bloodline. When they you go a piece of you goes too even if you're still here. You're just a mere shell of your former self when they're gone. A ghost in the machine, the walking, LOST half-dead etc. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80154702 United States 06/19/2021 09:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No. I'll never be "over it." I still think of them and miss them every day. We had our disagreements and some rough times, but I still loved them. The one thing I am thankful for is that they don't have to live this current hell that we are living through now. The state of this country today would blow their minds. |
beeches User ID: 78973486 United States 06/19/2021 09:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Mine are both gone, thankfully with no extended hospital horror. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79749834 I'm a man, 67. My father was a good man, and a Royal Marine in WW2. My mother was a great woman, and outlived my father, by 11 months. The pain of loss lessens, every day. I miss them both, though. they were lucky with you, and you with them. yes, I am over their deaths in the sense of seeing it in the larger frame of life. I was present for the moment of passing for both of them. still, where are they when a beautiful sunset happens? or when I want to ask Dad, what did you think of so-and-so? My father never adjusted to the loss of his mother. Sure he coped, but he was the last of many children and I bet her favorite.... a smart and funny person indeed!

Like they are bonded in some weird timezone. Quoting: Agent 99 Yes. My mother had a massive heart attack on her birthday, when I took her out for lunch. I had to call 999 (= 911) and get the paramedics in. She died 4 days later, in the local hospital. My mother made it clear to me that she did NOT want to be resuscitated, months before, when she asked me and my brother to be her legal representatives (power of attorney.) |
Sungaze_At_Dawn User ID: 79835284 Canada 06/19/2021 09:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My mother, Feb 6 of this year, no, and each day is like more water under the bridge and the time will flow on, and I'm afraid I'll forget the timber of her voice. I had 2 moms, one was brain damaged and would yell horrible things at you if you tried to get her to take her medications, and the other was her higher frequency angelic self, who sang songs, had social graces and uplifted others, always phoned and kept in touch with her grandchild and her sister and family, some of whom never ever realized what the full extent of her illness. My grandparents, my grandfather would be around 1987 and every year is just the river that keeps on flowing on time and I want my grandfather back, my most favorite person in the entire world. Sometimes I think one of my sons is my grandfather, he said he thought he lived in that area, that he recognizes it. And yet, still feel a connection to my grandfather's spirit, so not sure how that works. My grandmother its been more akin to 11 years now and again, the water just keeps flowing. I want them back asap. But my mother was too young and she had at least 10 more years and her real self, was the most advanced souls on this planet. Just a small handful that got everything. The government and their changed covid rules for the hospital is to blame and she refused to go and die alone. The isolation and taking away the support of your family is killing alot of elderly across the country. So I consider these changes MURDER ONE. She was denied proper medical treatment, and this should have been caught much earlier. Her sister 3 years older and close to 80, had heart surgery just last year, everything worked for her. The Devil tries to convince everyone he doesn't exist. The state tries to convince everyone they cannot resist. Do not go quietly into the good night. Rage Rage against the dying light! |

SugarSand User ID: 77504359 United States 06/19/2021 10:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Today is the 9th anniversary of my dad's death. He dropped dead at work in a glass factory, in the middle of the second shift of a double. He was working a double because he was scheduled for lasik the next day, and was going to be off a while. He was only 62. He had 3 years left in that place. I'll never get over it. It informs all my decisions in life. When the shit hits the fan and the end is just nigh, will you cry out to Heaven? Will you lie down and die? Not me, my dear one - THIS IS MY SACRED LIFE - to no one nor no thing I'll surrender. For how does one know where when dead she will go, or if sweet Mother Earth he'll remember? - Sug |
