I am truly very sorry to hear about your loss. I know no words will ever make your pain better, so instead I offer a friendly ear, if you ever need someone to talk to. I myself, have had a hard time this past holiday season. My grandpa, finally came out of the hospital and rehab, only to come home with Hospice also. His heart is only working at 20 % percent and is in liver and kidney failure. Seeing him home and smiling on Christmas was bitter sweet.
Thank you, Bridget. Sweet of you to respond with those sentiments. And I'm sorry this season has been rough on you, too. I expect your grandpa is in my own age range, in which case he has probably known for awhile that his time is limited, and I think it tends to make it easier when you know that. In fact, some people (like me) can be downright philosophical about it. (That should really be upright :). I wish him well; and you, too, for the year ahead.
I'm very sorry to hear about your partner's passing. My sincere sympathies, Irv. I hope and am confident that she had a full life that you helped brighten!
Thank you, Lisi. She did have a very full life, with much accomplishment and family love in it, achieving just about everything she set out to do (to my awareness, at any rate). And I like to think that I helped to brighten her closing years.
It took me awhile to figure out that you chose me as a friend from the 'nuffism group. Thank you for doing so, and I shall add you to my friends list, too. It's good to be in personal touch with you.
I had your journal on my reading list in the past until it went very quiet, but recently I noticed that you had taken up posting again and added you back. I enjoy reading about your life, even if your news are sad ones.
That's what is always boils down to, one day at a time, taking it as it comes and damn the plans to hell.
I'm sorry to hear about your sweetie. Awful and even when you know it will inevitably happen. I always worry about that day, perhaps I should just forget it, as it will happen.
I hope this upcoming year is a wonderful one for you.
Thank you, Marni. And I'm glad you went back to my earlier post to get a full context for this message. I can respond here to both of your comments.
Your words convey a lot of sensitivity. You have a pretty good awareness of these psycho-emotional pitfalls. Certainly better, in advance of them, than I did. I had to learn, along the way, the truth of what you say about 'the first one'. I think it has to do with a time of life. Innocence, romanticism, whatever it be, but it's a very special and narrow stretch of years, in one's life, when it can happen that way. I think every time of life (including this one I'm in) has its own special qualities.
I really think I struck gold, when I tabbed you as a friend. Much thanks, and love back to you...
