On the passing of your father. I am glad it was peaceful and painless for him as you described in the My Father Had a Stroke Thread. May he rest in peace. Hugs...

Please take some time to get some sleep tonight. Thinking of you and keeping you and your family in my prayers and thoughts.

{{{MK}}} I'm sorry, Hon. Try and remember the good times as well as the recent days/months. Words don't help at times like these but they are all we can offer

Because my words will mean nothing, I leave a poem that was sent to me when I needed

Death is nothing at all. It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Nothing has happened.

Everything remains exactly as it was.
I am I, and you are you, and the old life
that we lived so fondly together is untouched,
unchanged.

Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.

Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes
that we enjoyed together.

Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.

Let it be spoken without an effort,
without the ghost of a shadow upon it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.

There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
What is this death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?

I am but waiting for you,
for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just round the corner.
All is well.
