Subject: RE: BS: alison needs your good thoughts From: Maryrrf Date: 20 Mar 11 - 09:47 AM Alison, many of us know what your family is going through. I lost my father in much the same way - I was 19 and my brother was 14. It was a hard, dark time, full of grief and sorrow. I so wish there was a way to make it easier. My thoughts are with all of you. |

Subject: RE: BS: alison needs your good thoughts From: catspaw49 Date: 19 Mar 11 - 10:16 PM Don't know what your Hospice situation is in Oz or how you feel about it, but in the cases I know of around here they have done an excellent job and been a powerful support service. Pat |

Subject: RE: BS: alison needs your good thoughts From: alison Date: 19 Mar 11 - 10:05 PM thank you all so much - your support means so much. as many of you know from personal experience it is wonderful just to know that someone is thinking about you - when you are doing it tough Mark is getting weaker each day - spending more time asleep. the dificult stuff is that life has to keep going on - the kids are in "big" years in school (they are 17 & 15) - but the assignments etc still have to be handed in - and they are under immense pressure - the school knows and is doing what it can. in answer to someones question - the extended family is in Ireland (thank god for skype) - but there are friends and support nurses helping out. I am coping ok at the moment - not sure how I'll go when he gets more difficult to look after - but I'll do as much as I can for as long as I can. but the doubt is there as to "am I going to be able to do this?" and that can be a bit scary at times. I may not post as often as I check in on this thread - but believe me I am checking in, and I thank you all again for the kind words and thoughts slainte alison |

Subject: RE: BS: alison needs your good thoughts From: catspaw49 Date: 19 Mar 11 - 11:42 AM Just a refresh along with my continued best thoughts for an ease to Mark's pain and whatever support we can be for you al ...and Ryan and Shannon. I was in their position myself about 45 years ago and know how rough it can be. Tell them the bad memories seem to pass reasonably soon but the great memories last a lifetime. Pat |

Subject: RE: BS: alison needs your good thoughts From: Allan C. Date: 18 Mar 11 - 08:02 AM Alison, I cannot imagine your anguish and that of your family. I am in awe that you have the courage to honor Mark's wishes.Without your professional training, I doubt this would be possible. Without your fortitude, I am sure it wouldn't. You have my deepest respect and admiration. Best thoughts and prayers to all. Allan |

Subject: RE: BS: alison needs your good thoughts From: VirginiaTam Date: 18 Mar 11 - 04:52 AM Do they have extended family in Oz to help them through this tragedy? Any Mudcatters near Alison and family? Friends to do shopping, make meals, clean house, run errands, just sit a spell? They need practical help. |

Subject: RE: BS: alison needs your good thoughts From: Lizzie Cornish 1 Date: 17 Mar 11 - 03:54 AM You will be given many moments to treasure, alongside the painful ones. The treasured moments are the ones which will remain and make you all able to think back on this time with love, affection....and..believe it or not, gratitude. I'm so glad Mark made it over to Ireland to see his family, as someone mentioned above...and that he made it home to you and the children too, Alison. I held my Father's hand as he took his last breath, and I realise now how blessed I was to have been given that situation, even though at the time I could never have imagined that to be true. He's surrounded by Love and that will see you all through this sad time. We never truly lose those whom we love. Much love and peace to you all Lizzie x |

Stay strong for Mark and the kids, its amazing what strength can come from within when we are faced with these trying times and remember allow yourself the time to grieve when you decide you're ready. |

Subject: RE: BS: alison needs your good thoughts From: gnu Date: 15 Mar 11 - 07:57 PM Oh dear. My thoughts and prayers are... ah... well... paltry and pathetic. Those words hollow to me at this point. I can only say that I have been through same and it's the worst there is. I wish I could offer more than thoughts and prayers but I can't. I have no words of wisdom to ease the pain. Take care of you and yours as best you can. |
