Dking posted in the widows and widowers that not only has he lost his wife of over 30 years (in February), he has now lost his younger son. The funeral is today. I wanted to offer a separate discussion for us to express our love and sympathy for him.
Dking, I am so sorry for both your losses. May God grant you the peace that passes understanding and give you strength and courage for the trying times ahead. You are in the company of friends. Phyllis
Dking....I'm so sorry for your losses. I lost my only son twelve years ago when he was only 21. I can't imagine the heartache of loosing both your wife and a beloved son. May God give you the serenity to endure this and get through it, finding peace and happiness on the other side of this walk. YOu are in my prayers.
Dear friend, I am so very sorry. I cannot begin to feel the depths of your heartache. Just know that you are in my thoughts and I wish there was something I could do to help you get through this. The most important advice that I can give you is to let your friends surround you during this time and do not retreat into solitude. We all love you and pray you are granted inner peace.
I am so so very sorry about your son. What a tradgedy. If words of support and love, along with hugs could ease your pain, know that you have every bit I can give you.
Very sorry for your losses. Accept the support and caring of all your fanmily and friends in helping you get through this time. Know both your wife and son have left their illnesses behind them and are now in a better place. Peace be with you now, and always.
DKING....I only wish it could have been me instead of him......that way, you would not hurt so much.... No one deserves to lose a child....My heart goes out to you. Hang in there.
dking, how my heart aches for you. Please take some bit of comfort in knowing that so many wonderful people are hurting with you, care for you and are here to give you strength, a place to vent, talk, and mourn. We care deeply for you. The pain of losing a spouse can only be surpassed by the pain of losing a child. God Bless, you are in my prayers. Arms around, Susan
Words pale in the face of such intense losses as you have experienced. Just know that you are surrounded by a whole host of people wanting peace and relief from pain for you and your family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Thanks to all for your support. I was hesitant to post. We widows and widowers are supposed to remind the rest that there are still good times after the AD journey. There are, and I encourage you to hang in there another day, another month, another year. Some days are good, some days are bad, some days are horrific. Life is a tough sport.
Dan-we certainly don't expect us that all will be rosy in a soon to come time. Take your time to lick your wounds. Stay with us and let us help you as you will help us. Another poster just lost her son and only the two of you know how bad it hurts.
Dear Dan, So Sorry to hear of your losses...I feel your pain, we also lost our only son, and our 16 year old Grand-daughter. Somehow life goes on, and the Lord gives you the strength. Bless you, you are in my prayers. Rosalie
I only hope that you know that you will get through this. I, having lost a 21 yr. old son, know it doesn't get any better, really, you just get THROUGH it, and you will. I still "talk" to my beloved son every day. I know your loss. Love, Jen. Talk to me anytime you want. I've lost a brother , too. I might seem silly to others on this board, but I do undersstand what you are going through, more than most. Talk if you need to. I'll listen. You can find me at: canton@ntelos.com
