Can we all stop and take a breath for a minute?

Question

I lost my Brother, to a massive Heart Attack, yesterday! Yeah, yeah, I know. We all lose Family and friends. I've certainly lost more than my share.
But I'm not here, asking for sympathy. I'll get plenty of Prayers and well-wishes. From ones on here. Who have been with me from the start.
QUESTION: In lieu of any comments, sympathies, well wishes etc; I can I ask that you get in touch with some of those Family Members that you may not speak to, all that often? And tell them that they are loved?
And can I ask that, this Evening. When you're with those that you care about the most? That you give them a little bigger hug? And if you're on your knees, tonight. Thank Our Heavenly Father. For all of the Blessings that He has given YOU!!

I deeply appreciate any copmments that you may have. And I know you will feel like supporting me. But, if you wanna show me the kindness? Give it back to those that mean the most to you.

Peace to all......................... I Love you, Reggie!

With all due respect to Mr. Z. I did use the word, "if". Anyone else who wishes to ignore this on Religious Issues? Feel free.

Shout Out to Dog Lover! Thanks for understanding. Your E-mail, means a lot to me!

True Patriot. You're one of the ones that's been with me. Thanks. Share your love to those that mean the most to YOU!!

This question I feel was directed toward me. Like when your in church and you feel like the preacher is talking right to you. My father died 6 months ago, My sister and I got into a fight and havent spoke since. we are both in are 40 something and it eating away at me. So this hit home I will take care of it soon. Thanks and sorry about your brother.

Answer 2

Hi Buzzard, I'm so sorry for your loss!

I lost my best friend back in December from cancer. She was only 33 years old. Her and her husband had been thinking of starting a family when they got the diagnosis. I'll spare you the sad details but cancer is a hard way to go. We lived life to the fullest while she was here.

We should take each day as a gift. We never know our time. Just look at the recent tornado's. It can happen so suddenly.

So tell everyone you love 'em and live it up! :o)

Answer 3

Unless, you've got a rotten toorh which is causing this problem, you might like to look into getting a tongue scraper. A tongue is basically like a shag carpet and needs to be cleaned regularly. You might also like to remember to floss your teeth as meat can get in between your teeth and start to rot, creating a terrifically bad smell. A third consideration is that your bad breath may actually be coming from your stomach. Try gargling mouthwash.

Answer 4

Reggie, our sympathies are certainly with you. I know how you feel. I lost my mother and dad 8 months apart at the time i was 31, that really hit me very hard.... and it has taken me alot of time to get past and move on. I wish you all the best in the world and I hope you will be able to move on and not linger on your brothers death. My heart goes out to you and your loved ones. Peace be with you and yours. Asalama We love you too, Jenny

Answer 5

Buzzard,

Once again you have shown me what a great person you are.

I totally agree with you. I lost my father in August of 2006. It was hard for me. I still get tears in my eyes thinking of him.

In hind site, I was lucky in a way. The day he died, he had come over to my house to help me with a minor home repair. We than sat out by my pool and had a couple brews.

He was happy and I walked him to his car. I remember the last thing he said was to tell me we needed to go fishing soon. He drove off.

He was dead 10 seconds later. Driving down my street and having a heart attack. I was with him as he died.

I was sad to lose him... but happy he had been with me just before he died.

Sigh... now I think I may have to go cry.

Answer 6

Oh My Dear...you have my deepest condolences.

I too can share your feeling of loss. I have lost my mother-in-law and my father...and my brother is gravely ill.

I have already taken your words to heart....I stopped my day to call my ill brother in the hospital and decided that today I would spend with my husband and son...and just forget about 'responsibilty' to spend 'fun' time with them.

Thank you for the reminder that all will not be here forever...enjoy them while you have them.

Answer 7

All too often we as a people are caught up in the hustle and bustle of modern life. Very rarely do we take the time to stop, and reflect, think, feel. We spend our lives trying to stay ahead of the curve, show up on time, and move on to the next thing. Meanwhile, our families, are slipping away, our children are growing up, our parents are fading.

Every morning, I stop. Every morning I sit down and think, and reflect. I think about why I get up and go to work. I think about family and freinds. I think about life, and love and happiness. It keeps me centered. It keeps me going.

I am sorry for your loss. But more than that I am happy. I am happy for you. I am happy that you are not wallowing in self pity. It makes me happy to see that you are doing something. You are taking this tragedy and turning it into something that will make you stronger. You are doing what some people cannot.

I am proud of you. Keep up the positive atitude, And never give up. never give up hope, never give up courage. The sun will rise tommorrow, and where will you be, sitting in the corner crying, or standing, waiting to take on the day?

Answer 8

You are Blessed, and Highly Favored in
Christ Jesus !
Minister

Answer 9

Your brother is okay, Buzz. If you believe in God, then you know he is. God will take care of his beloved. He takes care of me everyday, and at times, I can be an azzhole. God is holding your love in his hands. Bless you, and your family in this hard time. I'll bet your brother is having a party, though, and Christ is serving the drinks! All is right in the world, and in Heaven.

Answer 10

Thank you for using such a horrible loss to remind people to appreciate those we love around us. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm going to give my kids an extra big hug this morning! And ease up on hubby a little! In fact I think I will call my brother today and tell him how much he means to me.

One thing that helped me this summer when my mother passed was when she said to me it's not Goodbye it's until we are re united again!
