Feeble Words Help

Yes.

indeed...

It helps.

I'm sorry to hear that you're in a situation where this applies.

Yikes Linkat... sounds like you're having a rough time.

Let me add my feeble words.

Take care.

Well to be honest I've been away from you all for a bit - partly due to this.

Things are better now - as time heals.

I was just floored at the kindness of people and how some one just saying a simple "I'm sorry" and showing genuine caring without words really touched me. People I didn't know - but came up and spoke with me/not saying much but knowing they really cared.

I always thought it was a waste - not that I didn't do it - I felt more like I must seem like a robot and useless just standing there saying I'm sorry with nothing else to give. And all along that was all you needed to do to make some one feel tons better and cared about.

I had noticed you weren't around as much.

I'm worried about you, but only say as much as you'd like to say.

a little bit of kindness can go a long way

sometimes that "I'm sorry" feels like a hug

I read your post and made me think about how I felt at the losses I've experienced in my family. Glad to see that you're back and things are looking up a bit more.

Hang in there. I feel, at the least, that life is a curiosity and you gotta love a good puzzle.

Thanks - it was my dad. He passed away after a battle with lung cancer.

Very tough for the whole family.

Thought that might be it...

So sorry, Linkat.

Thanks - and you know what - my thanks seems feeble too - but it isn't.

Aw Linkat.

Very sorry to hear you have lost your dad. Love to hear a bit about him? Only if you want to share, of course.

Awww, Linkat... so sorry for you, hon... hugs to all of you.

And of course, though I didn't say those exact words...sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry too, Linky.

thanks lots and lots all. Not that I really think anyone would be really cruel on here - but there are some that at times are not so nice (myself included). I didn't feel I could write about it.

But the good feelings I had and positiveness that I received seemed like a good start again.

Dad I think one of his strongest qualities was his humor. He was a funny dad - maybe where I get my sense of humor (although some people don't take to it so well).

The nice thing we were all there with him at his home where I pretty much grew up. My youngest was the most comforting for everyone - you should have seen her - after he passed - she went on and on talking about all the great times she had with him - how now he isn't sick and can see her play ball. She really has some sort of gift in comforting people - I've seen it in other instances as well.

Awwwwww.......sounds like a lovely daughter you have raised.

My condolences Link. My favourite teacher died this week. I'm going to his funeral tomorrow, dressed in green, as he requested. I truly do share your pain at this time. Words are feeble, because they are only words. It's what behind the words, the eyes, the gestures, the love, and the message is never weak. Thank god for your little girl. She has the ability to say what everyone else wanted to say and maybe couldn't.
I'm sorry for your loss, one day I'll have to go through this too and it scares the bejeebers out of me. I'm sending a virtual hug..
