Thank you Leo Kaz and Amy

hope you're doing ok, Abbi.

when is the funeral? are you having to arrange things?

just reply if you feel like it

I am not doing arrangements.
Wish I was doing something....
Nothing to do just now.
Remind myself to breathe! I tend to stop, hold my breath under intense stress. Not good for the mind or body.
doing pretty ok for the circumstances, thanks for asking.

Our one brother *R* is taking this especially hard He was around Charlie the most and no doubt, most positive for C. while going thru all this ,including Charlies wife leaving him last month . He was not at all ready for C. to let go. My brother *R* is the sweetest guy. When us girls were wee little ones, he was very nurturing with us.

Oh abbi I'm so sorry.

thank you Tefkat

Very dear Abbi,big
I am so sorry I have just read your sad news. It must be traumatic when the first sibling goes. I do hope that your memories are happy ones of your big brother. They certainly seem to be.
Many prayers for you and your family.
Much

Thank you AR1

This is my third sibling to go.
My 5 yr old baby brother Larry, died when I was 9.
My oldest sister Grace,died 16 months ago, she was 56.

A week afterwards, my bio-mother.(Not whom I consider my Mom)
My *real Mom* , whom raised me after I was age 6,died last april 20.

This was my oldest brother, Charlie, 56, that died last weekend.

Too many too close to fully grasp.
I am barely keeping up.

My twinny is very ill and waiting for help also.
Not good times.

Abbi~
I wish there was more I could do or say. But there is nothing.
I know you to be a strong person, and it takes a strong person to be able to grieve the way that you know works.
Just remember that those who have gone on before us are still always with us in Spirit.

Sometimes I am too aware of that,if anythingSo much so,I need to be grounded at times

My head is in the clouds alot! Fortunately I value the earth nuture and nature.

Thankfully, I am pretty good at living in the moment.
*Where* is debatable

I believe that is at least 3 things I am thankful for too
Gratitude is important

Oh my poor darling abbi, big
I had no idea you had had to deal with so many deaths in your dear family. I reckon it took me nearly five years to get used to Dick not being around physically any longer. Strangely enoough for those five years I alwasy somehow "felt" him by my side. Which was immensely comforting.
Dick always used to quote Shakespeare and say
"When troubles come, they come, not in single spies
But in batallions.".
That certainly seems to be the case with you.
As you say when one begins to think of the things we must be grateful for it always helps the hurt and the pain.

Oh Abbi


How sad to hear that you so many of your loved ones have passed in such little time.

Your are in my thoughts and prayers.

Today was better. I breathed more normal,smooth and un-noticed
