My sister, Charlotte Elizabeth, 1955 - 2006

Dave you are a great Man...(looks Dave in Eye and shakes his Hand)

BG you got a keeper.....listen to him, time to take care of your self.


Tears running down my cheek....

My condolences. It's saddens me to see another loss to cancer, especially since I know how it feels to go through such pain, taken away from the people that love her and she loves. My prayers are with you, and stay healthy and celebrate your sister's life, I'm sure that's the way she would've wanted it.

Best wishes.

you are a good sister birdgirl
everyone should be so lucky to have someone like you

*HUGS*. I'm sorry. :(

That's how my mom passed away too...ovarian cancer. She was only 50 years old.

It'll take some time for pain to subside but it never goes away. Keep talking about your sister with your family, friends, and everyone. Keep the memory alive....don't let anyone forget who she was...including yourself because as time goes by, people forget the details...

Keep your head up birdgirl.

I'm sorry you have to go through this, and I wish your grieving process to be as painless as possible. At least she's no longer suffering. Eternal peace is with her, and I wish it be with you as well. No one should have to go through this, especially you. After reading your husband's post, I'm starting to worry about you. Take care of yourself, emotionally and physically, and remember we're all ALWAYS here for you, night or day. Thanks so much for being there for me with my dad (who actually just sent me his first letter from rehab). It means a lot to have people care, even if those people are millions of miles away. Words are a lot more powerful than what one might assume. Please, please, hang in there. Much love to you and yours. ~

Em, I love you so much and I'm so proud of how you've handled these last few months. Really this last year. You have to stop thanking me for "taking Bess into your home." Last time I checked, it was your home, too. Your family have been my family now for almost 24 years. Watching you take care of her in these last weeks and months has been like seeing you as a new mother all over again, so caring and gentle. You amaze me. You also worry me. You've been burning the candle at three or four ends for too long, and I'm worried about your own health right now. You're bone-dead tired and running on caffeine, nervous energy and little else. We need to talk about you resting more and eating more, too.

OK, Birdlove, that's what I wanted to say. Excellent tribute to Bess, babe. I remember hearing your mom tell those stories about her playing teacher with you as an infant. I would love to have seen that. See you this afternoon.

AMEN friendowl......AMEN!

very sorry to hear of your loss ... prayers for you and yours ...

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

That poem helped me a lot after my daddy died.:(

Ovarian cancer took my Mom and now it's trying to take my Sister in law,,,I know the road all to well...

pain and suffering is over for the deceased and we are left with our emotions and conscience... I have a sound conscience and I am sure you do too... emotions need time,,, god bless...
