Remember we're all out here if you need anything :)


And an extra thanks to PR for posting it :)

I completely agree Pollyana. I doubt I would have the ability to write such a letter at such a time.
We are definately all here for you, when you're ready.

Bought tears to me eyes that did!

It's never easy losing someone you love. When my ol' mum died a couple of years ago, I found huge comfort in this little verse which I keep in my wallet to this day:

Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference into your tone; wear no forced solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort, without the ghost of a shadow in it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same that it ever was; why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. :)

I've sat here trying to write some words of wisdom etc but all I have is tears. I cannot imagine the rollercoaster of emotions you must be going through. All I can think of is please take care of yourself and though we don't know you, feel free to ask if there is anything we can do for you and yours.

But most important no matter how hectic life gets, take care of yourself and family.

All of you are in our thoughts and prayers.

There is nothing I can do
to make him come back
There are no words I can say
that can replace his worlds you long to hear
There are no answers I can give
that will satisfy your questions
There is not another soul I can introduce you to that will ever replace his,
And, there is no love I can offer that will ever replace the love you shared
I cannot promise your broken heart will ever be complete
I will not say it could have been worse
I will not deny it was a tragedy
I will not lie and tell you he will come back
He never really left
I do promise he hears you when you speak
I will say he loves you no matter the distance
I will not deny he is in a better place
And, I will not lie, he is waiting to greet you someday
He is every step you take
He is in everything you do
He is the air you breathe
He is every beat of your heart
He is like the wind. You cannot see him, but you will always feel him

God Bless
