Re: Tawny needs your prayers and update on me

[Guest guest]

Althea, I'm deeply sorry to hear about your father's death. I'm sure it

must be extremely difficult to accept. You and yours and in my prayers.

I'm shocked to hear about Tawny, too. I hope she will be OK. You're a

good friend to be there for her.

Please keep us posted on how both you and Tawny are doing.

Take good care,

I'll tell you where to go!

Dear Althea: You don't know me but my name is Colletti. I am a member

of RA-Support. I am very sorry for your loss.

I am praying for you that you remain strong. I have an elderly Dad so I

understand some of what you are feeling right now. I worry about my Dad every

day.

I also am praying for Tawny although she doesn't know me. However, I feel

like I know both of you because I read both of your posts all the time. I am

glad you are going to her today. I live in New Jersey so I am very glad you are

close by to her. If I was closer to you both I would hope to be with you

both today. I will pray for you both today at this most difficult time for both

of you. I would love to hear from you if you would like to chat please do

email me. Especially if you need to talk to someone I would only be honored to

hear from you.

Take care and God bless.

Sincerely, Colletti

Althea,

I'm so sorry about your father. You and your family are in my prayers

that he is no longer suffering.

Thanks for letting us know about Tawny. I hope there is nothing serious

Althea,

I am so sorry for your loss. My father committed suicide when I was

11. I stayed in the denial phase (not about his death, but the fact

it was suicide) until I was 18. It took that long before I was able

to be angry at him. I guess I had to grow up first. The grieving

process is different for everyone. You and your family will be in my

prayers as you go through this difficult time. Tawny will as well,

and I hope it helps her to know we are all thinking of her. Thank

you for letting us know.

I can not deny that my father committed suicide. I know that is

what happened. I have to get to the point now where I can forgive

him for being so selfish and only thinking of himself.

He wasn't in any pain just mental pain that he put on himself

because he couldn't give up control to anyone else. He couldn't let

anyone else help him or make decisions for him. He wouldn't give

the doctors a chance to help him either.

I am so so mad at the moment and know that only time and much

thought will get me through this.

I am cleaning my house today although my body wants me to sit down.

It is easier moving around and yelling in my brain at him. I am

telling him to leave me alone. I am telling him how mad I am at him.

My body is hurting so pray that it doesn't get worse. My neck is

screaming and my left arm is in a lot of pain. The Lortab bottle

and I have been very good friends for the past few days. The arm

won't quit even when I sit down and prop it up. I know I need to go

to the doctor and will within the next couple weeks but for the

moment I don't want those answers.

Thank everyone for all your prayers and know that I need them now

more then ever.

God bless,

Althea

Keep doing what you need to. Yell, scream, clean, grab a pillow and

beat it with a broom with your good arm, whatever gets you through

this. You can always come here and yell too.

Althea,

I am so sorry for your loss, and so sorry you are left to deal with all the

feelings and mess that follow. Go ahead and be angry, but as someone who has

been suicidal in my life, I can tell you, that the person who goes reallly

truely believes that others are better off without him. It is a selfish act,

but at the point in time where someone is in despair, they can't see beyond the

pain they are in, mental or physical.

Best of luck to Tawny, and I hope she is ok.

Dear Althea, I am so very sorry about the loss of your father. I

can't say that I know what you are going thru, but I do need to tell

you that its okay to be angry, its okay to feel like your abandoned,

its all part of the griefing process. Remember that he didn't take

his own life to hurt the people araound him, he did it cause his

brain was doing something wrong, it was off balance. Also remember

that God only gives you what you can handle.

You and your family are in my prayers and soon you will slowly stop

hurting. Hugs ~ROSA~

Dear Althea, I am so very sorry about the loss of your father. I

can't say that I know what you are going thru, but I do need to tell

you that its okay to be angry, its okay to feel like your abandoned,

its all part of the griefing process. Remember that he didn't take

his own life to hurt the people araound him, he did it cause his

brain was doing something wrong, it was off balance. Also remember

that God only gives you what you can handle.

You and your family are in my prayers and soon you will slowly stop

hurting. Hugs ~ROSA~
