Location: Lake Hiawatha, New Jersey | I'm so sorry to hear about your Mother. I'm lucky enough to still have both of my parents alive and healthy. I did however, lose my best friend earlier this year. I would never try to compare the loss of a friend to the loss of a parent, but this was (and still is) a tough thing for me to deal with, especially given the fact that it was a suicide. He had struggled for years with his problems and finally could not fight anymore. I never shared this on this board before, but reading all of your posts every day was, and still is, a nice way to get my mind off of things for a while. |

I think we are lucky to have music to express feelings. I have worked with several people during soon twenty years, who have had no ways to go through the sorrow and feeling icy and suffering from anxiety, depression and somatic problems. Music can touch people and help to get touch with the sorrow. Besides that talking about it is very important. These are difficult situations but make us stronger. |

My thoughts and prayers for you, your mom and the rest of your family.
My wife's father died two weeks ago; it was a shock even though we knew it would happen "someday" because he'd had several heart attacks, and elected not to put himself on the list for a heart transplant. It still hits you hard.
At his funeral a friend of his sang "You are the Wind Beneath My Wings." Music speaks to us; there was not a dry eye in the place. I had to get up and speak right after that emotional outpouring... |

| What can I say? A million thanks for all the prayers and good wishes.
18 hours after the latest "final" stroke she woke up and started taking fluids. There are of course peoiple out there who will tell you that prayers and kind thoughts amount to nothing. I am not one of those people.
My mum was born in total absolute poverty in 1917, and never weighed more than 110lbs in her life. She's less than 5' tall. She had 3 strapping children all of whom are 2 or 3 times her size. I tell you she is about a million times tougher than me. Or anybody I ever met. |
