A bit of help...

Hello ladies and gents here...
I glean so much here and wanted to ask for help as I have just returned after my dad's death and my mum is now in a nursing home. I don't know where to look, but I know your words of support and encourangement always help me :-)

Blondie- I'm so sorry.

Know that your dad is still around. I read angel books & often I have read that when a loved one passes on they often leave hints that they are present. Most often people will ask "out loud" for a sign & sure enough get one.

Take care in knowing that your dad is watching over your mum.

Stay strong...my thoughts & prayers are with you today:wings:

Blondie, sometimes where words of comfort fail us, it helps to just pray.

Peace be with you:l


For our friend, Blondie, who is suffering and those who cry this night,

give them repose, Lord; a pause in their burdens.

Let there be minutes where they experience peace,

not of man but of angels.

Love them, Lord, when others cannot.

Hold them, Lord, when we fail with human arms.

Hear their prayers and give them the ability to hear You back in whatever language they best understand.

Amen

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I know it leaves a hole in your heart that will always be there.

Followin is a poem that I received when my 21 year old son was killed in a car accident, and it helped me then and now.

Prayers are with you...

To My Dearest Family
Some things I'd like to say
But first of all to let you know
That I arrived okay
I'm writing this from Heaven
Where I dwell with God above
Where there's no more tears
Or sadness there
Is just eternal love
Please do not be unhappy
Just because I'm out of site
Remember that I'm with you
Every morning, noon and night
That day I had to leave
When my life on Earth was through
God picked me up and hugged me
And He said I welcome you
It's good to have you back again
You were missed while you were gone
As for your dearest family
They'll be here later on
I need you here so badly
As part of My big plan
There's so much that we have to do
To help our mortal man
Then God gave me a list of things
He wished for me to do
And foremost on that list of mine
Is to watch and care for you
And I will be beside you
Every day and week and year
And when you're sad
I'm standing there
To wipe away the tear
And when you lie in bed at night
The days chores put to flight
God and I are closest to you
In the middle of the night
When you think of my life on earth
And all those loving years
Because you're only human
They are bound to bring you tears
But do not be afraid to cry
It does relieve the pain
Remember there would be no flowers
Unless there was some rain
I wish that I could tell you
Of all that God has planned
But if I were to tell you
You wouldn't understand
But one thing for certain
Though my life on Earth is o're
I am closer to you now
Than I ever was before
And to my very many friends
Trust God knows what is best
I'm still not far away from you
I'm just beyond the crest
There are rocky roads ahead of you
And many hills to climb
But together we can do it
Taking one day at a time
It was always my philosophy
And I'd like it to be for you too
That as you give unto the World
So the world will give to you
If you can help somebody
Who is in sorrow or in pain
Then you can say to God at night
My day was not in vain
And now I am contented
That my life it was worthwhile
Knowing as I passed along the way
I made somebody smile today
So if you meet somebody
Who is down and feeling low
Just lend a hand to pick him up
As on your way you go
When you are walking
Down the street
And you've got me on your mind
I'm walking in your footsteps
Only half a step behind
And when you feel the gentle breeze
Or the wind upon your face
That's me giving you a great big hug
Or just a soft embrace
And when it's time for you to go
From that body to be free
Remember you're not going
You are coming here to me
And I will always love you
From that land way up above
We'll be in touch again soon.
P.S. God sends His Love

Blondie, sorry about your loss. My prayers are with you. You have been through so much in just a short time, love. Be kind to yourself. :l

When I am gone, release me, let me go,
I have so many things to see and do,
Please don't tie yourself to me with tears,
Be thankful for our beautiful years.
I gave you my love. You can only guess
How much you gave to me in happiness...
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it's time I traveled on alone.
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a time that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on.
So, If you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear, Then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile, and say "Welcome Home! "

Thank you all...

It's taken me a time to respond because I was so moved by your messages and prayers which certainly helped.
Irish, Rocky and Imagine - your words had me in floods of tears but it was very cathartic. Thank you so very very much.
Accountable - also thanks - am trying to look after me and know I'll get there!
SeeBreez - I too have recently started reading angel cards and can't believe how powerful they are, so this has helped me immensely too, knowing that my dad is there and is in a better place now.
:thanks: :h
