Hello everyone,
Just to let you know, my sweet sister, Cindy, died yesterday at 2:45 pm of brain cancer. My husband, Mel, died 6 months ago of lung cancer. I am going to take this opportunity to finally scatter his ashes in the Pacific Ocean per his wishes after my sister's memorial in a couple of weeks up in Sacramento. I can't bear any more death right now. |

I'm so sorry. You've had a lot to deal with and process in a short amount of time. Be gentle on yourself and give yourself some extra space and time to heal. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi dear Cat ~ Bless your heart ~ I'm so sorry for your losses.
![]() I had a similar year in 2001 when my granddaughter died, my husband died, and my mother-in-law died all within 6 months. ![]() You haven't had time to grieve your dear husband, and now your sweet sister dies! This will put you in overload. You need to talk to a grief counselor. Why not call Hospice? They have wonderful grief counselors ~ I talked to one after my husband died, and I'm so glad I did. It helped me immensely - and perhaps it will help you too. Please know that you're in my thoughts and prayers. Please treat yourself with kindness, much like you'd treat a good friend. Pamper yourself and be patient with yourself ~ you're going to need all the support you can get. ![]()

Hi, Kitty
No, I'm not really doing very well. My sister's funeral is scheduled for March 21st. (Why waiting so long? Her husband won't say much to us-her side of the family) Whatever....going to Sacramento again next Saturday. I am going to drive this time. Going to my brother's and he will continue the drive. My fear is not knowing how I will react. The funeral is more than 2weeks after her death. I am afraid this will wipe out any healing progress and send me back to square one. Plus, I am going to scatter my husband's ashes in the Pacific Ocean on the ride back. God, this is not going to be pretty. Be ready for me when I get back...thank you. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
