Hi,girls!
I decided to do some blogging today in the hope to get some of this pain off my chest.My uncle which was very dear to me,died on Friday morning.He was diagnosed with Lung Cancer about 3 months ago.He was a man that lived life to the full and loved living.But to see him so sick just broke my heart into pieces.He lost the ability to speak in this time,but always there was some music playing in the background of his room as he just loved his music.But to him this couldn't have been life anymore.To lose the ability to speak,laugh and even wash yourself are things that we take for granted.As he was a man of great pride,he couldn't have enjoyed it for others to do this for him.
2 Days before he died his sister called us to come to him.The moment I walked into the door,I just turned around and walked out again.There wasn't a man lying on the bed but a skeleton.I saw him 2 weeks prior to this,but since then he had a huge down fall and lost more than half his body weight.After I cried for a while,I turned back and went into his room again to greet him.He was so ill,but still recognised me.Something told me that this will be the last time I see him so I wanted to make sure he knew I loved him so I asked him if he knew it and he nodded yes.I was so glad that he knew this but also sad about the circumstances.
My aunt told me before he died he said that he loved us and then asked to be taken to his room.On the way to his room he died.
Why am I telling you all of this?I don't know,maybe because you're strangers,but maybe also because I know you're real people and will understand what heartache it brings to lose someone you love.Thanks so much for reading all of this,I sure feel better now!
Goodbye uncle Steven,may you rest in peace.xox

My heart goes out to you.. I'm sorry for your loss.
It's ok you share that with us.. I too am in the same boat as you.. my father's oldest brother had a downfall health wise for the past few months... he has lived with diabetes for many years and now his liver and kidneys have completely shut down.. I too don't know why I'm telling you this but if it serves as some comfort...then I hope it helps. Well... My uncle is in the Caribbean and I'm in New Jersey (US).. this year I wanted to go down there for the holidays but we are not doing well economically so we decided to go next year. Well.. it breaks my heart that I won't see him ever again..last night I called his hospital room to speak with him..and it broke my heart to hear this weak quivery voice...NOT MY UNCLE'S!!!!
Not the uncle I know..strong voice and proud... I ...like you ..hurt over all this. I wish I could have seen him but he is living his last days. The doctors called the fam to gather around him 2 days ago because they know his time is ticking. :(
I'm very sorry for your loss and I'm crying as I write this.. I feel your pain. I hope they both Rest in peace in heaven..with the ultimate perfection which is God and they can care for us from above.... so when you see sunlight outside just take one minute to feel it's warmth in your face... that will be your uncle hugging you from above...
hugs to you.
Ruthie
and thank yo for the freebie love..it's beautiful.
Hello Trude, I arrived on your site for the first time today and I must tell you how sorry I am to learn about your Uncle.
The only word of comfort that I can offer, is that you were able to say goodbye.
Many years ago I came home from school to learn that my Father had returned from work ill, and gone to bed. I rushed upstairs to see him, only to find that he had died, alone!
Your dear Uncle was with people who cared about him. He is at peace and would not want you to grieve to deeply I'm sure. Just remember, that is all he would want. Hugs!!!
sorry for your loss.....thank you for the qp
So sorry about your uncle. It is very true about letting people you love know it because you never know where life will take you. Thank you for the story of your loss and your talented gifts.
I don't know you but am so sorry for your loss. You right it helps knowing other face this same thing and can understand your pain. My father has stage 3 cancer and I am so glad we are getting just a little time to spend with him.
hi trudie,
i can really feel your pain - the good is that he doesn´t have pain anymore. he will always be with you!!!
Trudie,
My deepest sympthies to you on the loss of your uncle. We are going through a similar thing with my hubby's grandfather. The watching and waiting are the hardest. I hope that you will have a chance during this holiday season to share many memories of your uncle with those you love and hold dear.
Congrats on the new blueberry kit. It is fabulous!
I am soooo sorry to hear of your Uncle passing. Just know that he is in a better place and has no more pain. I know that it hurts a great deal right now, but believe me, it does get a little easier as the days go by. Take care my friend.
On a better note- I LOVE your new kit and thank you for the QP!!
I am sorry to hear of you're loss..hon..i know what that means..we never like to say goodbye..but if you have faith it is not goodbye..because you can feel them in everything you do in life..they have become a part of you..so dearly, I hope you have found some comfort and I apoligise that it has been so long with me not online..I have been dealing with so many medical issues..and still not feeling better..many hugs, joanne
Oh Trudie, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how awful it feels to watch someone waste away. Take care my friend.
