Feeling so alone after the recent loss of my father / this community wrapped me in their arms - helped me back to my feet … I can’t thank each and everyone of you who sent condolences and spiritual guidance… Honestly during my lowest point this last week your messages of kindness and support reminded me that God does exist in us and there are good people in this world.
Thank you all and I promise to ‘Pay it forward’ …

Always helps to get support when dealing with a painful loss. I takes a while, I still cry for my lovely son-i-l but it will pass, time heals. Our loved ones live on in our hearts and we have wonderful memories to sustain us.
My fren - I’m so sorry for your loss
Thanks; another who "died suddenly", so a total shock. The sweetest, kindest, intelligent and funny man with the biggest smile imaginable. Everyone loved him.
So sorry for your loss. My husband's oldest brother has been in and out of the hospital and ICU with inexplicable low hemoglobin and now apparently kidney damage that came out of nowhere. Doctors are of course baffled. Quadruple vaxxed. Makes me so angry.
Crimes Against Humanity trials can't come soon enough. I proclaim Psalm 94 daily.
I hope the tribunals start soon, before too many more are lost.
Well said. Every one of us have or will go through this at points in our lifetime... having someone who cares goes a long way- even if you've never met that person face to face.
Where We Go One ain't just a tag line
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. This board is amazing. Everyone has been here for me, and I gladly now return it to you and all who post in the future seeking some caring words and support.
So glad we were able to help you through, friend.
WWG1WGA. Full speed ahead.
This community can be amazing that way. There are so many good people in the world. I try not to forget.
They say time heals but I feel like it just helps you get past the deep hurt and lets you keep living, it does take time, but it will get easier to keep going, to keep living your life. It takes time for us to learn to live without the loved one we lost. The hurt will still be there, just easier to endure.
I lost my grandmother in 2016 and my mother in 2017. Both strong independent women who would give you the shirt off their back or pillow from under their heads if their family needed it. It was a very hard few years for me, was very close to both of them, helped take care of them before they passed, and was standing there beside them when they went to heaven. Still miss them very much, but it does take time to learn to live without them in our lives. It's getting less and less that I think that I have to call them to tell them some new thing happening. Now if I need to talk to them, I just say out loud what I want to say and keep going about my day, I know they hear me.
Just talk to your father out loud when you have something to say to him, he will hear you. Watch for signs he sends you, like things you may have had in common, maybe hearing a phrase he always said, a song playing on the radio, a cardinal that comes in your yard and sings. He will put things in front of you to show you he hears you and loves you. Basically, things that will make you think of him.
I'm truly sorry for your loss Toe34
Well said.
Good to hear you have been helped Toe...that's what family is for. God Bless you in the days to come! 🙏💕
Happy to have another Habs fan in the house. Prayers the days ahead are good.
You = flag u/#trumpflag
Although it breaks my heart to hear about the hardships our frens endure, it brings me comfort that people like you trust us to share your struggles. This is truly a beautiful community and every day it baffles my mind the connection that has been established by just similar views or a willingness to respectfully debate. No faces, no knowledge of career or life choices, little knowledge of lifestyles, fiscal restrictions or advantages. If I wasn’t on here I would not believe it to be possible. Thank you for sharing with us. I will pray that you can find peace in your heart. This Christmas will be especially painful but just believe that you will heal and I will pray that in time you can separate your loss from the holiday season and not let it negatively impact you in years to come.
Wish I could give a big hug to you! God bless
🤗💗🙏🕊️
Lets see if this goes through...
Ps 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
God's perspective on death is different than ours. Doesn't make it any less painful, but I find comfort in knowing God welcomes home his saints.
Bless you and thank you also, we do have some good hearted people here. Helps to keep spirits bright.
Bless you and yours ToeBlake34. Kindness goes a long way.
Toe Blake, Dit Clapper, Eddie Shore… those guys were the greats.
Keep your head up. This is what patriotism is about. Love thy neighbor! When one in the community is down it is up to the community to rally around that one and lift them back up . This is what Christ church was supposed to be about but if you have ever been involved in a church you will know that Satan has destroyed that as well! We are getting back to times when America was Once Great! We will be Great again!
Only promise to yourself, that you live life to the best of your abilities, fren. There are many like you around the world, we have all that we need to live life to the fullest.
