I check in on you know and then and wa...Dear Star,<br /><br />I check in on you know and then and was so sad to discover that you are walking the grief path again after losing you dad. As I read this post it occured to me how often people in our lives think we are "experts" in all things death after losing a spouse. Of course you can spread all the ashes, you are good at it! At this I laughed out loud. Definitely add that to your resume.<br /><br />I hope that you are lifted up by love in the months ahead. I hope that the tools that you have acquired through the loss of your love, actually do help you a little in the loss of your father. I hope that you are able to be gentle with yourself as this new loss settles into your bones. And I hope that every time you wear your favorite jeans you remember something amazing about your dad.<br /><br />Thinking of you from afar.Michele Neff Hernandezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02356589209090780127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918105604270007470.post-38472875217005543322011-01-22T08:38:43.577-05:002011-01-22T08:38:43.577-05:00I grinned through your description of what happene...I grinned through your description of what happened ... because I could see myself doing the same. Widow humour is a wonderful thing ... to widows, of course the untouched think we are taking dark humour a step too far, but what do they know?<br /><br />One thing occurred to me. You are seen as a "leader/mentor/wise" in your family because you behave that way. It came to me very clearly reading this post. And I wondered if you knew that or if anyone ever told you that. You deserve to know <3<br /><br />Please be kind to yourself over the coming months. You have a lot of pain ... more than anyone should ever have to endure, in a short space of time, too much loss. Be patient and kind to YOU xBoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695496303699631884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918105604270007470.post-11696849477287338322011-01-21T17:26:32.633-05:002011-01-21T17:26:32.633-05:00Star, This is the post where I wrote about what w...Star, This is the post where I wrote about what we did with Jim's ashes .... or actually, half of his ashes. You can kind of get the humor when you read it, but it really was a lot more hysterical than it sounds. Your post reminded me of it. Many of us ended up with Jim all over us. The dang wind ....<br />:)<br />http://txmomx6.blogspot.com/2008/03/i-dreamed-dream.htmlJaninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00949809367923657970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918105604270007470.post-89841450153981527322011-01-21T16:45:16.605-05:002011-01-21T16:45:16.605-05:00Oh, this made me chuckle...I'm so sorry you ha...Oh, this made me chuckle...I'm so sorry you had to experience that.Brooke Simmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13586889706558409311noreply@blogger.com
