Guest guest Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 This is really sad for me right now. My dearest friend, my childhood friend, the one I grew up with, shared secrets with, went to school with, shared young married life with, raised kids with, started growing old with, passed away yesterday. She is one that encouraged me to have this surgery before I ever even considered it. She was my number one supporter, and while I was in the hospital, was so proud of me for doing it that she bought me a new lawn swing for my backyard to enjoy the beauty of nature in. She never got to see the thin me. I'm leaving Friday for California...for her memorial service. We were only 4 days apart in age. This really hits hard. I need to be there for her kids, as she would be for mine, had I not made it through the surgery. That's the kind of person she was. She was my kid's " Aunt Sue. " We were not related, but she was closer to me than any sister could have ever been. Thanks guys for letting me spill this here. Love you all. My hopes for the future are very strong, and I look to that to keep me together now.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2002 Report Share Posted December 9, 2002 Jacque: I really envy you. I never had a friend for life. It must be unbearable to lose such a wonderful person. Being there for her kids, sounds like the best gift ever. Thanks for sharing. Fay Bayuk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 Oh, Jacque...I am so sorry! I never had a friend like that till several years ago. A friend like that is once or twice in a lifetime, and they are to be treasured. She will always be with you in spirit, and think of all she gave to you...you carry on her love in the world now. Praying for you, dear.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 Jacque, I am so sorry about your loss. I have a friend just like yours and her father recently died. I was just as sad about her dad dieing as I was when mine died 5 years ago. She is my best friend, major supporter, like a sister, always there. That has got to be a hard person to loose. Being with her kids could be the best thing for everyone. My prayers are with you. Let us know if we can do anything. (And hugs right back to you sweetheart.)

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 AWWWWW Jacque, I am so very, very sorry that you have lost your friend. I can only imagine what you are going through, because in most cases we can CHOOSE our friends, but we can't choose our relatives. Friends like her are the most special, because they become MORE like family, than family, at times. It is my personal belief that you do not lose her, just her physical body. Her spirit will be with you and at some point your spirits will rejoin once more. Take very good care of yourself. And please accept and my sincere condolences.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 Jacque, I really feel for you and I hope you will take all the time you need to grieve this woman who really was your sister. Blood doesn't matter when you've been through everything together, though it does mean you remember the *same* family fights at Thanksgiving. :-) My sister is 4 years younger than me, but we have also been through everything together, and my heart leapt into my throat reading your message... I don't want anything to EVER happen to ! I think I am going to call her right now. Hang in there. Ziobro Open RNY 09/17/01 310/128/125 I'm having a sad time This is really sad for me right now.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2002 Report Share Posted December 10, 2002 Dear Jacque, I do empathize with the pain you are dealing with on the loss of your friend.. I recently lost a very good friend , also a very morbidly obese friend, to a cardiac arrest. She was much too young to die.. 52 years of age.. and had lots to live for.. a beautiful daughter, granddaughter , doting husband, and was just retired from her job.. I am praying that you have closure, peace and comfort in the passing of your friend. Take care Hugs, from GA open RNY 12/12/00 Revision 04/18/01 Revision 02/07/02 St wt.... 392 Cw.......187 Wt loss..-205 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
