Oh Maesie you poor thing. What horrible news to have to hear and so close to each other. I'm sending over some strength to help you and your family get through this hard time.

Thanks all xxx. Back today from the funeral at Moama (NSW). A very big few days... I'll post more tomorrow...

Big, big hugs for you maesie, take some time to rest up and relax (as best you can) after these last undoubtedly emotionally draining few weeks.

Hi Maesie, just checking in with you to see if you are okay. I imagine the last few days have been extremely hard for you and your family. Hope you're okay

Hugs and Kisses from you know who .

 

May a ray of sunshine, light up better days for you and your family .

I'd just like to say a very big THANK YOU to everyone who has given me and my family so much support over the last few weeks. I have been overwhelmed by your love, support, best wishes, prayers and virtual hugs. I have received many PM from members who I know quite well and even those I don't. They have helped me to cope with this very difficult time in my life. I didn't know Archie at all, but being part of our extended family, it's very close to home. You feel very helpless as there is nothing you can do to make their pain go away. You offer support, love and comfort... but nothing ever seems enough. It has been a very emotion and draining few weeks. You have all helped me through this time. I can never express how greatfull I am.

 

I'd like to finish this with a few pieces from the Funeral Booklet... maesie xxx

 

Don't cry because it's over, Smile because it happened.

 

Beyond the world as we know it, there is a place where we will all meet again, where we never have to say Good-bye.

As far away as this all is, and as unrelated to my family as this all is...I feel like we have lost "one of our own". Babies are not meant to die before their parents. It's just not fair and it is so very terribly heartwrenching. I feel all choked up inside and I too, did not know Archie. But again ....babies arent meant to die. They are full of the promise of a million tomorrows, a life, a dream, their own partners, marriage, babies of their own...a future that involves sitting on a verandah watching a beautiful sunset...many years from now. Very, very sad

I have tears... :sad: So very true Kaz! At 6mths old, his life had only just begun. Life can be so cruel.

So sorry to hear this maesie :sad:. Thinking of you and your family .

what a wonderful saying, totally hugs to you and your family the grieving in my eyes as just begun. I remember when my dad passed away those days of preparation, wake and funeral where numbing but when things settled down and everyone was gone and went back to normal life is when I realized he was never coming back . HUGS

Maesie, that saying you quoted was beautiful.

it is so hard when a baby passes away, it seems so unfair. his life was just beginnig

l just wish that l could just come over to you and your family and give you all hugs and comfort.

What a beautiful quote maesie, thankyou for sharing that with us.

Life can be so very cruel and all we can do is soldier on with the knowledge that each day things will get just that little bit easier and look a little bit brighter.

 

Rest In Peace little Archie, you were quite obviously much loved by many and will live on in their hearts forever.

 

Sending more hugs your way maesie.

Lovely Maesie!

they are lovely quotes,Maesie. i will be praying for your family for the next few months as like Elly was saying with her dads passing, when my mum die it was the time after the funeral that was the hardest where everywhere you look there are reminders of the person you lost and you realise things will not be the same.

So, I have an update on my Grandpa. For those new to the thread, this is the start on the 'grandpa' bit...

 

Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts. We just had our Pastor around (my parents are quite religious), and found some comfort in his words. However, 5 mins before he arrived, we had a phone call to say that my Grandpa (he's 88) has an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. It's 6.5cm. They operate when it's over 5cm, but because of his age, they have to be carefull. I'm not sure what they're going to do yet. It could stay there for 10 more years and nothing may happen, or it could burst and he could die tomorrow. Too much to deal at the moment . Thank you again for your wishes and thoughts...

 

Well, after appointments with many speacialist, they decided it was best to go ahead with surgery. Today, he had a colonoscopy (sp??) in preparation for this. Unfortunately they found a tumor in his right large bowel (Bowel cancer). He is booked in for surgery tomorrow at 11am. It's risky for someone his age and we don't even know anything about what will happen after yet...I'm in shock... I don't know what to say, I just needed to share with someone... I also had a horrible day at work and this was just a horrible way to end the day... Don't really know what to say.... um, yeah.... Thanks... time to cry again

i am sorry to hear about your Grandpa, i will be praying that the surgery goes well tomorrow.

Oh, buddy ....you arent close enough to hug....but consider yourself GROUP HUGGED just the same. :angel1:

Mas, I am sitting here crying reading your thread from start to finish ... I may have only known you for a short while mate. But i feel for you and your family at this time .... I couldn't possible think how i would be /cope in this situation..... I hate hearing about children passing it really hits you hard especially when you have kids .... and now your pop .... If i could take your pain and hurt away I would do it in an instant ..... But since I am soo far away please take my hugs, thought and prayers to you and your family .... I wish your pop well wished for his surgery........

Thanks Deb, KAZ and Neat for your prayers and group hug... My tears are just never ending at the moment and it worries me that's I'm about to go overseas... I hope nothing happens... I'm trying to think positive, but it's hard at times like this.
