B, read your letter… I am touched to say the least. I too am facing the same thing with my own parents… I know that time will eventually take them from me. But I choose to think on the things for today and also it helps to remember all the wonderful things from the past… The great times we had will always feel as though they happened yesterday. Life really is just a vapor.. But nothing can take away the memories that we have built upon in our lives with our families. God Bless You!

Hello, I just read your blog and I am weeping… I have no words. I have recently suffered a loss. I am 43 years young and am an orphan. My parents were divorced for 16 years but left this world three years almost to the day apart. As a young girl I was paralyzed with the thought of my mother dying. I found footing as an adult to deal with loss. Not ever an easy journey. No words or time can take the striking pain out of one’s heart at the loss of a parent or sibling. Much peace to you. Sadly this is a terrible journey we ALL have to take at one point or another. No story is more impactful over the other. It all is relative. xo

I’m going to keep this short.
I know it has been a while since this post, and I have honestly never read your blog before. I stumbled upon it while looking at quotes on how to deal with death. I don’t know your situation, but I hope everything worked out, or at the least, ended in a peaceful farewell.

I wanted to share with you, and anyone who reads this, a prayer that has helped me through almost everything and that applies to these tough moments you had:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the thing I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

I am a control freak! there i admit it!
i repeat this prayer through everything tough in life, whether it is as petty as flying in an airplane, or as serious as a loved one leaving…
We as humans naturally think we are invincible, but somethings are up to fait and we have to ACCEPT that. Other things, however, are in our control, and we have to have the COURAGE to make them wright. Most importantly, we MUST have the WISDOM to determine what is and what isn’t in our control or else we will live a life of angst.

hope this finds you well and you haven’t given up on your blog!

The pain of loss is inevitable…but through death comes a new life…whenever your time comes you will see all your loved ones again and in a way that can not be explained…but in the place where there is no more loss…it will be perfect…believe and you will see…but i feel like you know what to do until then…don’t worry, be strong, and be happy.

I’m so sorry to hear about your losses. I’m new to your blog but I just had to comment because your worry about your mum and dad’s mortality struck a chord with me. This is something I have struggled with for a very long time, and a couple of years ago the fear became extreme as a result of other factors I won’t mention here. Anyway, I ended up seeing a counsellor, and he advised me that whenever the fear came in to my head, to think about where my mum and dad are NOW, what they’re doing, and concentrate on that: They’re alive, they’re here, enjoy the present, and worry about the future when it happens. I know it sounds simplistic but it did help me. Of course I still have that fear but it’s not as paralysing as it once was. Because mortality totally sucks, but it sucks even more to let it ruin the time when we and our loved ones are alive.
I just thought I’d share what has helped me in the hope it may help you, but either way, I feel you. I hope it gets better for you.

I know that I have been really lucky too here for just about the past ten years in avoiding death of anyone that I know, but it is always hard when it happens. I know that what I might say won’t make a lot of difference, but have faith that the future will bring you to brighter days.

This is a very moving post B and I’m sorry for your loss of late. I can totally relate to the idea of losing a parent. I do not even want to think of the day when my mother will be gone. I hope that you find solace in the fact that we are all blessed with life and death and that the universe will always make sure you are ok, even in the event that are loved ones leave us.

You will come through this much stronger 😉

I am not going to offer you stoic words of comfort, B. Because I know you are strong enough to discover them for yourself. While your presence is missed here in Bloggyland, your existence is still felt, because you are you- and feel the world the way you do. It is part of living to mourn the loss, the losing of loved ones, of life passages, and it is living richly that one does so with grace, dignity and honesty. Here’s to your life, richly lived- and here’s to the loved ones who mark us so keenly. Love to you, B.
