Subject: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: katlaughing Date: 16 Jan 00 - 03:19 PM WARNING - PLEASE DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU DON'T LIKE HEALING REQUEST THREADS. THANK YOU. For those of you who have previously offered your help, we have a Mudcatter whose friend lost her 19 year old daughter this week in a car accident. Please do not ask who any of them are, as they'd like to keep this private from the general Internet public. We would simply ask that you hold this mom in your thoughts and prayers to whatever/whomever you believe in. Since this happened, she has been unable to recognise anyone and is not functioning very well in this world. Her family and friends are very concerned. Thank you and thanks to everyone for keeping this thread NON-CONTROVERSIAL. All that matters is someone is simply hurting and needs our help. kat

Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: catspaw49 Date: 16 Jan 00 - 04:20 PM Thank you kat..... I thought about this family a lot in the past hours since learning of it last evening. Our best thoughts are with them. We have had several close friends go through these trying times and the hurt and pain are never forgotten. Everyone goes on, but a part of the world is lost. I'm sure the memories are great and folks can focus on them, but our hearts knows the loss and the pain these people are feeling. Someone said once that a hole is left in the heart when a tragedy occurs. Our best and sincerest wish for this family is that the hole is filled with the memories of the time they had and the love and lives they shared. All of our best to them. Pat & Karen Patterson |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Áine Date: 16 Jan 00 - 04:38 PM Our family's prayers and thoughts are with them, too. No stretch of the imagination can comprehend the pain they must be feeling. -- Áine |

Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Dave (the ancient mariner) Date: 16 Jan 00 - 04:59 PM Words fail me, as they have her. I hope she will recover from the shock; there are others who need her to be strong. Someone who loved her daughter, grievously hurt beyond words. May she recover for her family, soon. Yours,(in sorrow)Aye. Dave |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: JenEllen Date: 16 Jan 00 - 05:57 PM So sorry to hear of the news. I know, personally, the pain of this kind of loss. The consolation of friends can give you unimmaginable strength when you are faced with the loss of a family member. My love and thoughts go to your friends, in the hope that they find the same.

Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Metchosin Date: 16 Jan 00 - 06:31 PM On behalf of my friend, I thank all of you for your kind words. As a skeptic regarding most things, I do not know if healing circles help, but they certainly can't harm and I for one will not rule them out.(Humans are wonderfully incongruous beings aren't they?). Nancy, what you said really struck home for me personally. As someone who once went mad trying to "comprehend the impossible", I never felt that I was enlightened by the experience but perhaps there was some wisdom gained in finally accepting that there are some things that will always be beyond our ken and you have pointed that out to me. Thank you. |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Rick Fielding Date: 16 Jan 00 - 06:53 PM So sorry to hear of your tragedy. Our thoughts are with you. Heather and I have lost close friends. This must hurt so much more. Rick and Duckboots. |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Micca Date: 16 Jan 00 - 07:43 PM Yeah I am bereft of words in a situation in which no words would be adequate. If I might quote from my favourite song of the moment" Gather round circle of friends......Until the dark time ends" lets do it. Micca |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Banjer Date: 16 Jan 00 - 07:57 PM The thoughts and prayers here are with the family during their dark hours. Thanks Kat, for bringing them to our attention. |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Mary in Kentucky Date: 16 Jan 00 - 08:04 PM ...and I believe in the prayers and thoughts of strangers...and also in the future comfort from friends who don't yet know of the hurting.

Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Sorcha Date: 16 Jan 00 - 08:33 PM This is me again, just got home from a lovely session with my friends; I mentioned this, and 9 more people are with us now. We played that lovely tune, "Ashokan Farewell" for this Mom, her daughter, and all the family. Shine On, Sorcha |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 16 Jan 00 - 09:00 PM This happened to a close friend of ours a few years ago. It never stops hurting. All the friends and family can do is hold on in there right now, and that is going to be very hard for them as well.
She needs people around who already understand what it is to be hurt, and know that it's always different. |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Pete Peterson Date: 16 Jan 00 - 09:12 PM Sorry to hear it. "The only thing worse than losing a parent is losing a child". I will think of her and ask for help-- know that you will do your best to let her know you are There. It helps. May not seem so immediately but you are doing a good thing, which is just how I think of you. |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Escamillo Date: 16 Jan 00 - 09:19 PM All my thoughts with that family too. Andrés |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Troll Date: 16 Jan 00 - 09:27 PM Time does not heal all things but the passage of time and the process of grieving can dull the pain. May this be so for this family. troll |

Is there a particular reason WHY most of the people you know are SICK!!!!

Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Sorcha Date: 16 Jan 00 - 10:13 PM Ok, gargoyle, you've made your point. kat said UP-FRONT not to read this if it offends you....... |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Mary G Date: 16 Jan 00 - 10:15 PM I am wondering if aromatherapy could help the mother and family....rose oil is supposed to be among the best for grief and shock.... also, there is a cd out called "Before their Time"...with singers like Anne Hills, Jim Stewart, Gordon Bok, Eric Bogle...it is to remember those who died too young...url is http://www.beforetheirtime.com/ mg |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Sorcha Date: 16 Jan 00 - 10:16 PM Ok, gargoyle, you've made your point. kat said UP-FRONT not to read this if it offends you.......GET YOUR PANTIES OUT OF A BUNCH & IGNORE THIS THREAD!!!!!Some of us who have lost loved ones feel a little human compassion. Maybe you have never lost any one? Yes, Karma but KARMA BE DAMNED WHEN YOU HURT!! Go suck a rock. |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Date: 16 Jan 00 - 10:24 PM Any that read this thread and reply have chosen to infect themselves with the same identical virus/cancer of the afflicted....
They have agreed to share the "shame/pain" with their own immediate, sons, daughters, spouses, and others,....all those who will be so inflicted....

And do not post HERE again, when the "dark-side" calls. |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 16 Jan 00 - 10:32 PM Poor damaged man. |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Metchosin Date: 16 Jan 00 - 10:39 PM kat, I see what I have been missing since I was off line for awhile. Gargoyle, I'm curious, why are you so concerned about positive thoughts somehow generating negative ones, which could supposedly be harmful to us flakes? Aren't you giving this thread more credence in your mind than it deserves? As I said before, we humans are wonderfully incongruous aren't we. |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Kristi H Date: 16 Jan 00 - 10:45 PM What a tragedy. My thoughts are with this mother and her family in this saddest of times. Kristi |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Sorcha Date: 16 Jan 00 - 10:46 PM I do not think gargoyle's message deserves any response at all, dark side indeed. Since when did caring about people meam inviting in the dark? Micca, where are you when we need you? Help me a little here, I think we are dealing with another one of those fanatics with a very closed mind. gargoyle, just go away. POOOF....you're gone. |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Metchosin Date: 16 Jan 00 - 10:48 PM thanks Sorcha! |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Sorcha Date: 16 Jan 00 - 10:53 PM Get back, get back to where we once belonged, let's get this thread back on Mom where it belongs. We are with you Mom, and hope that there is daylight someday. |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: fulurum Date: 16 Jan 00 - 10:53 PM how many people would show up for a healing for gargoyle? |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Sorcha Date: 16 Jan 00 - 10:55 PM Can gargoyles be HEALED?? I thought it was genetic, congenital and all that other dirty stuff. |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Big Mick Date: 16 Jan 00 - 11:18 PM I will put this person in my prayers, and thanks for bringing the family to our attention. As a person of heightened empathic abilities, I can tell you that this is the darkest hole one can fall into. I ache for this family and offer my prayers for them. The only dark side that is opened when we start this is the one we know all about. We have a couple of people, one in particular, who feel the need to mold this forum into their liking. They ramble on, and one of them is very hurtful. Please do not acknowledge them as they feed off of this. Big Mick |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: _gargoyule Date: 16 Jan 00 - 11:42 PM Awwww....just call it B.S....O.S.
You "Suckered" me into this sick, Sick, SICK, thread by "mis-labeling" IT.........and "this" according to YOUR very own "standards."
Them that creates them .....are allowed to break them.....but..... But they better not....go swquakin' for sympathy!!!

Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: JenEllen Date: 17 Jan 00 - 12:02 AM Mis-labeled???? 'Fraid not. People need all the kind thoughts and understanding that their fellows can spare. And no one has ever lost their soul by sharing a little love. I can't say I totally support the rock-sucking there Sorcha. :) You have to admit it must be horrible for some folks to know in their hearts (shriveled and blackened as they may be) that when they aren't there, they aren't really missed. Let's put away the claws folks, and remember why this thread is here. |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Date: 17 Jan 00 - 12:06 AM I have to agree with Gargoyle
Why do you post this Sh-----t here? |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: katlaughing Date: 17 Jan 00 - 12:21 AM One might ask the same of you, anonymous. Feel pity, phoaks, for what goes out comes back to its sender many times over. Bless and release and follow Mick's advice. compassionatekatwithtonsofkarmicbrowniepoints |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: katlaughing Date: 17 Jan 00 - 12:26 AM BTW, forgot to say: fulurum, thank you for the beautiful song. I didn't mean that there shouldn't be any music in this thread, indeed I think there should be. The only reason I put that in the title was to hopefully alert those who want no part of what we do. katlaughing |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Night Owl Date: 17 Jan 00 - 12:52 AM Anonymous....some of us post pain here because we look to our friends, who understand the depths and foundations of the lyrics to the music we share, we look to our friends who have the capacity to "see" and feel a song..or REAL grief. kat....thanks for the post....my deepest sympathy and thoughts go out to her. |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Metchosin Date: 17 Jan 00 - 01:07 AM Jeez Night Owl I think kats taking the heat for me this time. She posted on my request because I din't have the courage or the confidence to do it myself. Sorry for any problems kat. |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: catspaw49 Date: 17 Jan 00 - 01:20 AM Don't sweat it Mets......kat is used to taking the heat and a lot of us could give less than a mini's peter about what is said by some anyway. I have been tied up all day and when I got on this afternoon for a few minutes, it was with the purpose of starting this thread...but I'd been beat to the punch by my great friend. She did a great job too...better than I would have done. So pass along the best of us to your friend in need and we will keep her and her family...and you...in our thoughts. Your post yesterday touched me deeply. Keep singing. Spaw |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: katlaughing Date: 17 Jan 00 - 01:24 AM Metchosin, that goes double from me...what Spaw said. I know you have no limit of courage and confidence and I am honoured you felt comfortable with me doing this for you and your friend. No problem, luvyaKat |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: Metchosin Date: 17 Jan 00 - 01:41 AM Some of us just have courage in different areas, kat. thanks again for all the kind words and prayers. |
Subject: RE: Non-music- Healing for grieving mom From: roopoo Date: 17 Jan 00 - 02:02 AM Just joining in to offer my sympathies. We lost our oldest niece, the mother of a 5 year-old daughter, about 18 months ago. Prayer and moral support does help. There is a certain order in life: parents pre-decease their children. It is often hard for the human mind to accept that it can happen the other way round. May God bless and keep the mother, the whole family, and all their friends also at this time. mouldy |
