Sorry to hear about that Hank. My sympathy & prayers to you. I have been through what you have are going through, not fun. Surround yourself with friends and family, then the burden will not be so heavy as they will help you carry it.

 

In times like this you must remember the old proverb " God never hands you more than you can handle, " You will find the strength to get thru this...............

 

Sorry to hear about this, Hank. My thoughts are with you. If there's anything I can do, just let me know...

 

Sorry to hear about all your troubles. Hope that time will heal things. When my mom died, I was the executor, etc., and stoically took care of everything. I remember after the funeral, I came home, put on my fancy headphones (so wife and 3 daughters would not be bothered), maxed the volume on the loudest rock music I had, and cried for about 3-4 hours--then I was done.

 

Hang in there, Hank...........I have had a world of trouble thrown my way this past year as well, so I can really sympathize. Try to stay strong despite the pain.

PM if you need help.

Remember. "That which does not kill us, makes us stronger."

 

Sorry to hear about your pop wish I could say more but hang in there things will get better.

 

Hang in there bud..Jobs can come and go sometimes. I am so sorry to hear about your father, but worry about that first. Your wife and kids are there for you always! im sure they will understand what your going through! You always have us bud!

 

Well the service today was outstanding!! We had 13 vets form the VFW come and present colors and unfurl flag,display,re-fold and present it to my mom while another played taps. They were going to have 21 vets and do a 21 gun salute but the preacher nixed that, would have been cool though. Had caterers and dvd shows and everything went nicely.
Thanks for all the nice replys, they really mean alot

That's awesome!

 

My condolences for the loss of your Dad, Hank. Another star shines in the heavens tonight.


Jobs come and go. This one left. Another one's coming. I believe that, and so should you.

 

Hank, I'm so sorry to hear you're having troubles like this. Nobody should have to have problems like that at the same time. Hopefully you find a better job soon and glad to hear your Dad's memorial went well.

 

Glad to hear that the service went well hank did you dad ever go over seas

 

Hank, I'm very proud that your dad was extended the honors and courtesy that he no doubt deserved. May we all be so fortunate to have a family and friends like yours.

Tim

 

Hank, so many have expressed to you the sentiments I am sure we all feel.....

after reading through all your posts, I feel that the loss of your job came at the right time.... and now you think I am crazy, right??? You, my friend, need time with your family and for yourself to mourn the loss of your father.... I, too, lost my Daddy, (WOW, five years ago) and it took me a long time to actually 'feel' he was gone and to know he had gone to his true home.....I had buried myself in all that I did in my life and didnt take the time to mourn, and then celebrate the life my Daddy lived and provided for me.....I was a very unhappy person.

and then one year ago, I almost did it again with the loss of my older brother....but someone, so very important to me, helped me see that it was ok to be sad, it was ok to cry, and it was ok to miss him......I was in the middle of a big move from IL to WV, HUGE changes for my entire family, looking for a new home, in the middle of a job search...but I took all the time I needed first!!

I lost a couple of employment opportunities, being unable to control my emotions, but the job I had sought for months was waiting for me..........and it did come to me, at just the right time.....it isnt all perfect, NOTHING is.....but it is all good~ Difficult at times to deal with, but the very bestest buddy that I have ever had in my life has been helping me through the biggest struggles I have faced in the past 13 months.....for him I am forever grateful......

so, like previously mentioned.....take time to concentrate on your life, your family, mourn, celebrate, then pull yourself together....get back on your feet....and live your life as your father would want you to.

In his memory, I pray for you and your family, the time needed to heal and the strength to go on.....

{{{{{hugs}}}}}

 

So sorry for your loss Hank. Hang in there my good friend. It's difficult having to lay a parent to rest, I know from experience. The job thing will work out but right now the most important thing for you and your family is to celebrate your dad's life and be strong together. I have to agree with the above post about not telling JT. If he asks, be honest with him but I wouldn't go out of my way to tell him. You're all dealing with enough grief right now...no need to add to it. Check your PMs when you get a chance and call or PM if you need anything buddy. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
