Would you make me a very special favor?

Deal all,

I posted very rarely, but I read Cathe’s forums every day and feel Cathe, other girls and all of you very close. You all are very important for me, all of you were my inspiration and motivation from the moment I found Cathe’ s site 3 years ago.

That’s why I want you to make me a big favor.
I ask all of you to call your parents today and say them how much you love them and how important they are in your life. Tell them today, do not wait until tomorrow, please.

I ask this because I lost my father five days ago. He died suddenly from heart attack on his way to work.
It was so suddenly, he was not ill, or at least he has never complained to me. It was such a shock. My tears do not stop rolling; my fingers are shaking at the moment.
I have never believed there could be such enormous pain.

And I feel so so guilty because I haven’t spent enough time with him, and did not tell him how much I love him, and how important is he to me.

I am 34, have great husband and 2 wonderful children, but I feel so empty, so frighten, and so alone.

Thank you to all of you for the possibility to share my grief with you!
 
Marieta, I'm so sorry for your loss. With time the pain will ease. (((HUGS)))

marieta,

i am so sorry for your loss. you are right that we need to let people know how much they mean to us. you never know what twists and turns life has in store.

this forum has so many wonderful people and will provide much support.
 
Marieta,
I am so sorry for your loss. I too lost my Dad to a sudden massive heart attack. I know exactly what you are going through and how much this hurts. I am crying with you. Please don't let the guilt you feel eat you up. I felt( and sometimes still feel) the same thing and saw my Dad two days before it happened. He was my best friend. I also have a great husband and three children but they could not fill the void I felt at that time. Please PM me if you need to talk.
 
Marieta,

I'm so very sorry for your loss and pain. Yes, I will do what you asked. but please don't be so hard on yourself. He was your dad. He KNEW you loved him.

Big hug,
Becky
 
Hugs to you Marieta. I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad over 10 years ago and not a day goes by that I don't think about him. You are right about letting the ones you love know it. You never know what each day will bring.
 
Marieta - I'm so sorry for your loss. Sending lots of (((hugs))) your way. And thank you for reminding us to reach out to the ones we love.
 
((Marieta)), please accept my heartfelt condolences during this time of sadness and loss. Open your sad heart to your Dad's infinite spirit and he will tell you that he knows how much you love him. Try to let the guilt go, it doesn't honour or serve his memory or your healing. My Dad died in '93 and it was like losing my life's anchor and being set emotionally adrift. I miss him daily but am grateful and happy when I hear myself saying things he would have said. I will tell my Mom that I love her today to honour you and your father. Blessings.

Take Care

I don't want to take a pill. Go to Africa, go follow some bushman around. He's being chased by a lion. That's stress. You're not going to find a pygmy on Paxil, I'll tell you that right now.

Marieta -

I am so sorry for your loss! I lost my mom almost two years ago, and while it was not sudden, it happened a lot faster than we realized. I was supposed to fly out with my daughters to see her, but she died before we could. I have regrets, too. They are not easy to live with, so I agree with you that we need to let our loved ones know they are our loved ones now - and not later. You just never know... Prayers to you and your father.
 
Marieta,

I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for reminding us that we need to cherish the relationships that we have in our lives. I lost my dear aunt (my second mother) in July and I think of her daily and miss her so much. Please don't be so hard on yourself. You dad is in a place of love and he knows how much you love and miss him. He would not want you to feel guilty.

Please take care,

Jane
 
Marieta...I am so sorry for the loss of your Father. I lost mine suddenly too 10 years ago. Time does ease the pain and guilt. You are so right we need to let loved ones know how we feel...my thoughts and prayers to you and your family during this very sad time...
 
I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. You will be happy to know that I do call my parents everyday to tell them I love them...everyday. May you find peace.
 
(((MARIETA)))... Oh my goodnes, I am SO sorry for your sudden loss! I have tears in my eyes & my heart goes out to you.:( Thanks for the reminder too... I haven't talked to my dad in many days... I will take your advice & call him today.

Please know in your heart that your dad did know how much you loved him & how important he was to you. So please try to not feel guilty.

I will be thinking of you & hoping that your dear memories will bring you peace & comfort as time goes on...
 
Oh Marieta! I'm so sorry for your loss. ((((HUGS))))

You are absolutely right - there is no time like the present. We should tell everyone we love that we love them whenever we have the chance. You just never know...
