Now Rob,, I don't understand.

Nothing to say much, except I have been there. Hugs, Steph.

I just found out about Rob, but I have not been on here much this week.

Steph, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs, Sherry

I'm with you
I think I should be happy with the upcoming Holidays, but can't get out of the depressed feelings I am having

there is a difference of depression and grief,, I am not one to believe in depression,,,

Oh boy Stefanie. I wish you only hope and happiness and peace of course. There isn't anything that you could do or could have done to stop the natural progression of life. We all have to go sometimes and sometimes that time isn't exactly appropriate for the rest of us that are left behind. All you can do is hope and pray that those who have left us have gone to a better place and that they are at peace and happy to be away from all of the suffering and strife that this life can sometimes bring us.

I will be thinking of you and praying for you. God bless you. I am very sorry about the loss of your Parents...and of course because of Rob Appell too!

Steph you havent done anything. People die.

so I have to like it Sorry lori I dont like it,
I know it is not my fault, I just cant comprehend it,
nor do I like it,,

Stephanie, none of us can comprehend it when we lose someone we love, I am so sorry, do you mean you lost your mother this past November 3rd, or in 2005, Either way I am so sorry for you , and none of it is your fault or could it be, God makes those decisions, and we have to accept them when we can,
it is rough, I wish I could talk to you right now, I love you, Elsie

Grandma died NOv 3,2009

Steph you dont have to like it...no one likes death but you have to accept it.

The closeness of these two events is beyond belief, I am so very sorry for your losses Stephanie, many hugs to you, and prayers for your heart and soul to heal quickly, love you, Elsie

everybody goes in the time that is set for them Steph.....
the calling....
none of us will ever escape it's song.....

taking us home to where we truly belong....

all is good in the Kingdom.........
I am so sorrry this is hitting you so hard though...

hugs .........

Steph I am sorry that you are feeling this way.
It seems like alot to handle all this at once. I wish I knew what to say to help you.
Many hugs Steph.

Well, I am sitting here crying with you...I have not been able to get on the PC at home for a while - so I did not know until just a few minutes ago about either death. Everyone goes through rough times loosing family members and friends along the way....you have to remember the good times you all had and how they were when you were all together and not feel too sorry for yourself because like the Bible says our days are numbered so we only get what we have been allotted.
My Mom died in "76 and Dad in '80, I feel like I was just a a kid. Then, a few years ago my Grandpa died, my 19 year old neice disappeared from IU literally the next month and my grandma died within 9 months of each other. The neice did not get found for several years until a turkey hunter found her bones in the woods and it was discovered she had been shot to death....it took another couple of years to finally solve this crime and the perpetrator is now behind bars.
So, you had your folks for a VERY long time - CELEBRATE their lives and do what you do best, take good care of yourself , your hubby and your son when he gets to come home from the service....no feeling sorry for yourself, your parents would not want you to be that way when they are celebrating in heaven!
Love and hugs for you, I know it hurts, but you will survive this.....

I also am very sad about our dear freind. Hugs to you also for the loss in your family.

I am so sorry for your losses, Stephanie.....You have really had a lot to deal with in a very short period of time. I know how hard it was when I lost my dad, it's a stuggle to try and understand it all. I shall keep you in my prayers!

Oh Step, my heart goes out to you, I can only imagine what you are going through even though I lost both of my parents last year; your parents passing was really close in time I do know what you meanthough, not having them to talk; to I miss my parents sooo much and now Rob too, he was one of my first connections on gather and her got me through this past year. It does get a little easier as we learn to cope without them, but I am still working on this task.

I'm just stopping to send you HUGS tonight. The loss of a loved one can be such a difficult time and you have lost some very dear too you. Allow yourself to grieve. Remember the good memories too.

You have not done anything wrong. Remember that! Life happens and we cannot do anything about it. I have to tell myself that everyday.

I understand your feelings perfectly, Steph.
