BetterMost member LoneLeeB3 has passed away. Our grieving thread.
CellarDweller:
Not a day goes by where I don't think of my big brother.
I still have his number in my phone, and email address in my contact list.
I don't know why this happened, but I'm grateful for the time I had with Rich, the phonecalls and emails we had, and the visits that happened where I got to hold him.
Lynne:
(((((Chuck)))))
I still have a Linked In invite from Rich that was awaiting response from me. I hardly ever go there, been in my box for weeks. And no, he won't be coming out of my Blackberry either.
SFEnnisSF:
I can't delete him out of my phone either. No way...
bizzysmom:
I can't stop thinking about him either - laughing, crying, getting really angry, etc.... I sit at work and I'm just a shell. Mentally, my mind isn't at work. We both agreed to raise our daughter together. I would call him when Elizabeth would push my buttons and he would get on the phone and let her have it - he backed me up when he heard her sassing me, etc... She is about to hit her teen years and I'm scared.... For 17 years, we talked every day - for the past 3 years, at least 4-5 times a week - it's been two weeks and it hits me more and more that I can't hear him. I have to hide to breakdown since Elizabeth is handling it different...she knows every way is right but she chooses to remember his laugh. I will follow suit (in front of her). A part of my heart died with him-I have never felt like this before and am not sure how to handle it.
I would love to share with you the pictures of Richard that I have - It's from a different time in his life though.
Is that appropriate?
southendmd:
Oh, Marcia, of course it's appropriate. We would love to see your pictures of Richard. We know he wasn't born yesterday!
In fact, I really enjoyed seeing the photos at the service of you and him before we all knew him. (His weight yo-yoed just like some of us....)
By the way, don't be surprised if Elizabeth's reaction changes over time; she may be defending against her sadness, and it could come out in mysterious ways.
