For therealljidol week one. Topic: "You gave everything you possibly could."

I teamed up with oxymoron67"You did all you could. You gave all you could. He gave all you could. They did all they could. Everyone gave all they could.". Over and over in my head. "You did all you could". I almost laughed as I'd repeat the words to myself. It didn't matter if I was ( Read more... )

I think this is beautifully written and heartbreaking in a very different way from my entry. Grief can be very debilitating and uncomfortable to discuss, and I think you were brave to write this.

I think our intersection worked out well. Thanks for partnering with me!

I thought I had said in the comment that I was thankful for your partnership as well but I don't see it so in case that was in my imagination...lol...thank you for being my partner on this! :)

*hugs*

Everything else I type sounds kind of stupid to me, so...*more hugs*

neverletyoupart May 20 2013, 18:15:19 UTC

Not stupid at all. I am grateful I could make you feel anything and I will take the hugs gratefully and send you some back. :) *hugs.*

Oh I read that wrong....you didn't say you sounded stupid. Good. Cause you didn't. LOL. Either way, what I said stands. ;)

No, not at all. It makes me feel grateful that me telling my story was able to make others feel anything at all so that comment meant much more to me than I am sure you think. :) *hugs back* :)

So emotional and powerful. I'm sure my kids have some of these feelings about their deceased grandfather and may one day feel this about my mom and their other grandma who has Alzheimer's. AW

Thank you so so much. I hope, if they do have similar feelings, they will be able to express them somehow sooner than I was. This is certainly the most open I've ever been about it and it felt very therapeutic. I have been debating showing it to one or both of my parents. (they are separated now.) I'm not sure yet but I am grateful I could share it with you guys.
