God Bomb--a Place For Prayers/positive Vibes

[morgan]

Spidey, Frank and Ebdim... thank you very much for this... I had been talking to Patrick quite soon before his Mama left us and had just finished telling him how the diagnosis would be no problem... and I truly believed it--I bawled and bawled when I heard she was gone, and felt so awful for possibly getting his hopes up when in the end there actually was none.
If I could go back... I would change how I dealt with hearing her diagnosis if I could... anything to have made what was coming easier for him.

I don't know the situation at all, but it seems to me that anyone who knows you would understand how empathetic and kind you are and you were only trying to be supportive and helpful. God knows, we get the wind knocked out of us sometimes-we feel responsible just because we care so much. God bless you, Flake-your heart is amazing.

Yer a gentlewoman.

I'm a worrier... I worry a lot.

Yer an amateur. Here's the thing: I think we think things about ourselves which no one else does, that we see things in ourselves that know one else sees - that aren't there; for instance, currently, while I identify 1000% with what yer talking about, I'm not seeing you as you are. I'm seeing you as morgan just described, as Spidey did earlier. I think what we believe to be true about ourselves almost always falsely describes us. Flake, you are a heart. That's all. I know, I've been watching. I watch everybody here.

I have corresponded with him, but I couldn't tell him--I don't want to make him feel worse than he already does... what happened wasn't really anything about me, I don't want to make it about me... which might happen if I talk to him about it.
I think he probably knows that I just wanted the best for him and Mama... but it's something that I wish I could have done better, that's all.

Dear Flake, you did the best you could. I am sure when you talked with Patrick, it was a time when we all thought the diagnosis had been made, and he was seeking comfort in knowing how to manage mama's care once she was home. You had hands on knowledge. I know he appreciated your conversation. It gave him encouragement that he could manage things. He does know how much you cared about his mama.

There was only one Power that knew what was to come. None of us expected what happened. The diagnosis and management thereof would not have been a problem. The lack of her routine medications, which were stopped, may have contributed/ been a factor in the end results.
I had spoken with Patrick just hours before mama passed. She was sitting up, eating her lunch. No one had any idea. I have to believe It was the Lord's will.

You are a gentle, kind and caring soul dear Flake. We must trust in the Lord's Plan. You are so loved, Flake.

Winnipeg? Really? I had no idea - looks like I better start reading the local newspaper! (South of the city we do have a lot of very devout Christians actually - it is affectionately called "the Bible Belt") - no disrespect intended

(((You guys))) made me cry.... you're right...I don't see those things in myself.
It's comforting to know that I perhaps didn't make things worse for him then. Thank you... xox

You did not make things worse for him. Even if you told him to expect something which turned out not to happen, you gave him hope long enough for him to cope at the time. Sometimes counselors do this very thing intentionally, knowingly, just to keep someone from despairing too much.

 

[Ebdim9th]

Hope as far as you know it at the time is always real hope.

Teddy's Mom needing some prayers .... we just got word that Jeff's Mom is back in hospital, she has an abdominal mass, appendix not good and gall stones.... She needs surgery, which may require her to lose a section of colon, she recently had a heart stent placed ... so the doctors can't even decide if they want to operate or not. Funds being as they are right now... Teddy and his daughter are flying out to Ohio for the week ... I will keep you posted ...
