YAY!You do indeed have spirits coming and going and what an odd thing to see such a perfect example of the circle of life when it happens in your own family - life, death, rebith...all at once. Please let us all know how you are doing? Much Love and Warmth with many Blessings to your family and to you in this time, Sheila.Namaste.

through your mouth and replace it with a positive thought. You

family is not the only one that goes in threes. Everyone has that

problem. It does not mean that it is immidiate family always.

sometimes it can be just friends too. My prayers will be with you

sweetie, but God gave you that beautiful new grandbaby to let you

know that life continues and there are things to look forward too.

He gave that baby to let you know that even though your losing your

dad, your gaining a new member. Your dad would want you to enjoy

that grandbaby. Blessings to you and I will keep you in my prayers.

Sheila love, I can understand how busy your family is in the transitioning process. I want to offer to you and your family love and compassion at this time over the loss of your father. Grief is never an easy experience, even if you understand that your loved ones are going home you still miss them. Your family sounds like a source of a lot of your strength, and how incredible it is to have new life come into this world on the day of a transition! There could be no greater gift. You're in my thoughts and prayers,Stefanie>> Hi second family;> I got a new grandson at 10:14 a.m. Dad passed away at 7:46 this evening. I got to be with him holding his hand.

Please accept my sincere condolences for your dad's passing. My

prayers are there for you and for your family!!! I am glad that his

passing was in Peace.

You say that your mom does not have as much of the crying chemical as

you have. Well, that is okay, crying is not a bad thing. I guess we

each have our own ways of dealing with situations, and each is okay

in itself I think. Usually, it is said that it is best to cry if you

are very sad, as it is a cleansing prociess which helps us in our

healing.

It is so very difficult to loose the ones that we love, not so much

that we fear for where they have gone, but becuase it is that we miss

them so very badly in our own lives. This sorrow, I do understand.

My heart does go out to you in your loss and in this time of grief!!!

And now... congratulations are in line too, for the beautiful new

life that has entered into your family. Many blessings to you and

yours in this tiny new life that has joined you!!!

" Namaste " , Love and light to you,

cyndi
