Tell your children you love them


Recommended Posts

About two months ago, a friend of mine helped her daughter pack up all of her belongings and move across the country to Arizona to begin her adult life. It was a time of joy, excitement, and new beginnings. The joy was short lived. My friend was notified on Tuesday morning that her daughter was found dead (investigation ongoing).

 

This is a parent's worst nightmare. My heart is broken for my friend. Both women are active in their communities, local and worldwide, and advocates for people, animals, and the environment. The outpouring from their respective communities has been phenomenal but I can only imagine what my friend is going through.

That is so horrifying. Please update us on what happened.

Tell your friend I'm so sorry and I understand. We lost our son Monday -- also found in his apartment. I so understand.

You didn't tell us until now..I am so beyond sorry!!! No words can possibly say what I want to convey. I am just so sorry.

Oh, I am just very, very sorry. Words seem so inadequate. :grouphug:

 

Scoutermom, I am so very sorry for your friend as well.

Linda in Tx - I am so, so sorry for your loss.  

 

Scoutermom -- I am so sorry for your loss, for your friend and  for the whole family.  I can't imagine losing a child, no matter what age they are. One of the hardest things I had to do the day my dh passed away besides calling my dc and letting them know, was to go tell his 80 year old mother.

 

I agree, hug and tell your children you love them, same for your spouse, and also let anyone close to you know what they mean to you.  After my dh passed away so suddenly, I made sure those that he felt close to knew what they meant to him.  He was a man that didn't have alot of close friends, but treasured the few ones he felt very close to.  Ones he would do anything for.  I made sure they knew what they meant to him.  I have learned so much since then, not to let anything go unsaid.
