Family help: WHen it rains it pours.

WHen it rains it pours.

We had a family member pass away this week, and my dad just got out of the hospital, (he’s dying), and the bills are stacking up. Right now I can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. I know there isn’t anything anyone can do about any of this. I just wanted to let others know that me and my family need your prayers. Thank you all.

Thank you smithers. My dad has been sick for a long time, but no matter how old you are you aren’t ever ready to lose a parent. He is comfortable at home, without any pain, which is a blessing. But he just looks so terrible. My heart is breaking.

i can’t imagine how it must feel to lose a parent….it is hard no matter what age you are, and even harder when you’re expecting it to happen. at least you have some comforet knowing that he is comfortable and in company of those who love him. your heart will recover in time…

I am glad for you that you have this last time with your dad, to keep company with him, and to be there for him. I wish there was a way you could have the other stress go away though. Losing a loved one is enough to deal with at one time. For what it’s worth, I’ll be pulling for you, and if you want to talk about specifics, even just to sort things out in your own head, I’ll definitely be happy to listen.

I know it will. In the meantime I just have to be strong for my mom, & siblings. As a family we’re strong enough to get through anything.

Thanks Fionna. My dad has been a real fighter. He survived the last part of WWII, helped raise 4 kids, and always made sure we had what we needed. He’s survived 5 more years than the doctors thought he had after having 6 bypasses. He’s fought back pneumonia 3 times in the past year, and recurrant blood poisoning from MRSA (very drug resistant staff germ). I know he’s tired. All that stuff would have already killed most people.

Thanks Anthrax. I will have to work on letting me let other help me. I’m not so great at that.

I probably appear a bit cool and distant to people, even family, but if they actually knew what a mess I was on the inside. My old boss said that I was the grounding force in my office. She was amazed by how calmly I took things, and worked them out. She didn’t have a clue.

Wow. Your dad is a true hero. He has led a very inspiring life, and is one of the people responsible for the fact that we have the freedom to have this conversation. You were super-lucky to have him as a part of your life. My grampa is a WWII vet as well — he is 87 now (I’m 33). I know that I am going to lose him at some point, and I can hardly imagine what it’s going to be like. I never had a father growing up, and he more than anyone else took that role in my life. I can’t imagine where I’d be without him.

Did your dad serve in Europe or in Asia?

If it was Europe, you might try to find out where he served. I bet you anything that if he was involved in any of the liberations in Europe, and you could find out which ones, you could get some the city council over there to send him a thank you, especially now. Sometimes they get school kids to do it and draw pictures and the like. I think in North America we tend to forget how big of heroes our vets still are in Europe.

My dad served in Europe. All of our veterans were recognized, in a ceremony, on veterans day. He was able to attend, and really enjoyed hisself.
