This is one of my favorite hymns~

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW5S8Xm-GkA


Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!

Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!

And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall...so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!

Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!

O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!

And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!


I pray for you and your family!

~Deb

Well....we are home now.
My Dad is doing surprisingly well. We all have each other. The turn out yesterday for her wake was wonderful. So many people that I haven't seen in such a long time.

I am mentally exhausted, have not slept or eaten much in the last few days. My heart still aches....


Thank you all soooo much for you love, support and the flowers were beautiful!!!!

I wish there was something I could do to help ease your pain, but only time will help. All I can offer is to tell you to try to concentrate on the good memories. These first days are the hardest. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Wish I could do more. flowerforyou :heart: flowerforyou

To all my friends...

I was wondering what I could do to shut off my mind. I slept last night, but it obviously wasn't enough. I am mentally exhausted, Tylenol just doesn't seem to do it. A headache that doesn't seem to go away. I wish I felt better....

Thank you so much for all your love and support. It is so nice of everyone to think of me, now. The flowers have opened up, they are beautiful.
My father and sisters are grateful as well.........

I don't know what will heal your headache other than time and rest. Maybe a warm bath/shower, soft music and trying to let your mind really relax. You are grieving, it is likely a natural part of the grief cycle, at least one way your body is dealing with it and the stress involved. You need to take extra time for yourself, pamper yourself.

Our hospital has social workers that offer a bereavement group that meets and people can attend and work on their grief issues in that group, or they will meet with people in private and help them process their grief too. I don't know how you feel about that, but it may be something to look into.

I understand how exhausted you feel and how much you are hurting, but you really need to take care of yourself too. Just remember that your mother is still with you, will always be with you in your heart. You can cherish her memories and even talk to her when you want and she will still hear you. It will take time. flowerforyou flowerforyou

Hi, I don't know you because I'm relatively new here but my heart goes out to you and your family. Marie is so right in everything she said. Time seems to be the only thing that lets things get a little easier. Take good care. flowerforyou

Thank you all for your kind words, love and support. It means so much to me right now.

I go back to work next week. It will feel very strange. It still feels very strange....like she is still with us.

I found that going back to work helped, it helped to be around my friends and it kept my mind busy too. I could take a break when I needed to, but the work kept my mind busy when I needed it also. Just make sure to get plenty of rest and take care of yourself too.flowerforyou

When my brother died, it felt like he was with us too. A few really strange things happened right after his death. His best friend was at his house and his rocking chair started to rock (it was empty). A shirt he had been locking for and couldn't find, and she had looked all over for and couldn't find, and had just done his laundry and couldn't find it, but that same day was at his house and that shirt turned up on the top of the stack of laundry. And on the way back from his funeral I was driving dad back home and his cell phone rang. He missed the call. I took his phone it said it was from "Rick" (my brother who had just died). I called his best friend and asked her if she had called dad on Rick's phone, she said no, in fact, she had cancelled the phone a few days earlier. So, I do understand what you mean when you say, it feels like she is still with you.

She will always be with you in your heart and soul. flowerforyou :heart: flowerforyou :heart:

To all my Friends...

Thank you so much for your heartfelt prayers and good wishes.
Surprisingly enough...today is not so bad.
My heart still aches, but more importantly my Dad seems to be better. That's all I pray for, is that each day we get stronger...

I never realized how hard it was to send out Thank You notes. My sisters nominated me....because I had the nicest hand writting.

Who knew it would be soooo hard.
