What's upsetting you today? - Page 598

Ach honey. It's barely any time at all since you lost her. I was a fucking mess for about two months after I lost Pilau. The first month especially, I was totally unable to get my head and heart around the loss.

When I brought Carrot back, I mourned Pilau all over again.

Trilby · 02-19-2013, 02:46 PM

thank you for your sympatico, Dana.

It gives me hope that others have lived through it. I know Tony has, Jaydaan, Nirvana...Sundae lost Dylan, and more of us.

It's like Wuthering Heights weather-wise here and I've only a bouncy, cat-chasing dog for company. Even the cats won't come up.

I want to go away. I want some sunshine and some happiness before I ossify. godDAMNIT~!

My father passed away tonight. Even though he was 94, it came suddenly. My sister called me from the hospital, but by the time I got there it was too late. I saw him last weekend, but didn't really expect it to be for the last time.

Sorry Rich.

zippyt · 02-20-2013, 11:12 PM

Sorry for your loss Rich ,
but hey 94 is a Pretty good run

monster · 02-21-2013, 12:09 AM

Sorry, Rich.

orthodoc · 02-21-2013, 03:13 AM

Sorry for your loss, Rich.

xoxoxoBruce · 02-21-2013, 04:53 AM

Rich, sorry for your loss, it's never easy at any age.
I saw my 93 year old mother on Tuesday, and without a second thought, told her I'd see her in May. One of these days, plans will go asunder.

Aliantha · 02-21-2013, 06:24 AM

So sorry Rich. No matter how old the parent may be, losing them is still one of the most heart wrenching things that can possibly happen. I hope you have plenty of support people around. Xx

Griff · 02-21-2013, 06:33 AM

I'm sorry for your loss Rich.

Sundae · 02-21-2013, 07:13 AM

Rich that must hurt.
I'm so sorry. I know you were prepared, but my heart goes out to you.

My love to you and your family.

BigV · 02-21-2013, 07:24 AM

There is no such thing as complete preparation, only varying degrees of adequacy. Though it may not feel like enough, it can be enough. I hope... Ugh.

I've lost my father, I recently lost my aunt. I want to be most helpful to you Rich. I'm just so sorry to hear such news. My heart goes out to you.

DanaC · 02-21-2013, 07:42 AM

Oh Rich, I'm so sorry. *hugs*

Trilby · 02-21-2013, 07:53 AM

I'm so sorry Rich. I don't know what to say in these situations---they are so painful; even if he was 94. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you try to process this loss.

the loss of a father, no matter how old or infirm, has got to be gut wrenching.

Rich, I'm sorry.
