Lily Alexander Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I'm not really one to publicly ask for help but I think it's time I reach out to my pirate family and friends. As a few of you know, my father has congestive heart failure as has been in the hospital for a few weeks. Well, today we had to transfer him to a hospice facility. He is on comfort care only and isn't expected to live much longer. Please send your your thoughts and prayers his way to aid him in his passing. With gratitude and love to you all.

Lily Alexander Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. At this point, my father is holding his own. They aren't real sure if he is going to stabilize or continue to decline. Should he stabilize, they will most likely transfer him to a long term nursing facility or if he goes the other way, he'll stay in the hospice. Either way he is carving his own path on this journey.

Lily Alexander Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Once again, your thoughts and prayers have truly been appreciated. My father's journey has come to an end.

BriarRose Kildare Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 My dearest Lily, my deepest sympathy to you and Edward. I am deeply sorry for your loss. May the Angels surround you both with love and light. And may the memories of your Father be happy and bright. I will light a candle for you and him. May the light of Heaven surround him as he crosses over to the Summerland. Know that he is at peace and very happy. All My Love, Prayers and Thoughts are with you both. If there is any thing that you need, please don't hesitate to ask. Just give me a call.

Merrydeath Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I lost my father last year, and I still miss him and talk to him.

I know its not much comfort for you, but his journey has just begun on the other side. fair winds and calm seas, Lily and Edward, my thoughts are with you.

Captain Jim Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 My condolences Lily, Edward. I know words aren't really worth much at a time like this so I'll just say that you are in my thoughts as I am sure the memory of your father is in yours. Keep in mind that no one ever really passes on as long as therr memory lives on in your heart. Fair winds, mates. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...

Graydog Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 (edited) There are no words, cards, or sympathy that can reduce your loss. There is the thought that others do care that you are in pain during this extremely trying period and wish you and your family the best for the future. What they can do is give you support of company during this terrible time. You have my deepest sympathy for your loss. Time does not heal all wounds, rather it gives perspective of what you have endured. May you find the wind at your back and solace that you have friends at your side. -Greydog Edited October 27, 2008 by Graydog Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Brand Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Emily Dickinson came to mind when I learned of your loss. Perhaps she is too remorse for this moment, but I find a kind of sad beauty in her work that expresses some of what I felt at the news. My condolences and my high hopes that all will be well with you and yours.

Red-Handed Jill Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I don't have the words - they wouldn't be up to the situation you are currently facing anyway. Just know that you're around folks who care and are wishing you well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
