Monday - al-Ithnayn

[ya falaha! 0]

Well since it's officially Monday on the east coast...here goes.

I'm up waiting for a decent hour to phone my inlaws. It's with a heavy heart that I report the passing of my father in law. My husband is a trooper but I fear this will hit him hard once the reality of it all settles in. We were just discussing him going to visit soon as his father has been ill for several months. I feel awful that his final words to his father were spoken over the telephone.

Moody, I'm so sorry to hear of this sad news. Your family is in my thoughts...

[S and S 12]

I'm sorry to hear your news. I know how hard it can be to not say goodbye in person to a parent from experience. I hope you can be strong for your husband and that he gets through it. Maybe you could go visit his family soon so he can at least feel closer to them?

So sorry to hear this news. My thoughts are with you and the family.

Thank you all. The hard part is my husband is in NY for work and I'm in MI so honestly I can't fully gage what he's feeling. He went to work tonight as usual. I was just looking up flights to Egypt not an hour before he called with the news. When I told him he said, it's unnecessary for me to go now. I don't think he wants to deal with it right now. I'm horrible with verbal condolences, I never can find the right words to say. Even to him all I could say was I'm sorry and I don't know what to say. I have no idea what I'm going to say to his family and I'm nervous about it. Lame, I know. Sorry it's a downer topic...I'm just trying to talk my way through it.

[S and S 12]

Its never easy to know what to say. Tell them you will pray for him and let them know you are there if they need it. If your husband has a hard time, ask him to remember the good things about his father and tell you about them. Sometimes remembering a funny time or nice time can bring a smile and remind them of the good life a loved one had. That is the best advice I can give. Wish I could give more.

Thank you very much, S. I just finished my phone call to them and I said pretty much what you wrote there. My husband tries to be very strong but I know from his sisters that he's quite shaken over this. They kept asking me to take care of him but it's not real easy at the moment.

I'm glad you at least got to talk to your in-laws. Sometimes I find it hard to know what to say even under normal circumstances. I hope you can see your husband soon so that you can at least comfort him in person. I feel so bad you are going through this hard time right now. Just remember to try and stay strong for your husband. I'm sure he does need you even if he is trying to act "okay".

Im sorry to hear for the loss of your husbands father, yesterday was the day my father lost his life to cancer and its been 16 years ago, it feels like yesterday. Its so hard to describe the feeling of loosing a parent. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband and extended family.

Thank you, Sandra. I'm sorry to hear of your father's passing. I can't imagine the pain of losing a parent. I know we all will one day but I'm very sorry you had to experience it.
