Asking Our Community, Once Again, To Come Together and Extend Comfort To One of Our Own

Tuesday, 30 October 2018, 0:13 BFH Uncategorized 49

Chuffed-Beyond-Words lost her dad yesterday. It was sudden, and the family has still not been told exactly what happened.

This is a very difficult time and we would just like to let her know that we care while she grieves and we pray that her family receives the information that might help with a measure of comfort and closure.

  3. I feel bad for chuffed, she(?) seemed genuinely upset the other day. It’s a hard time, no doubt. Plenty of us commented our sympathy but that is just a 10 second band aid covering a life long loss. Sorry for your loss Chuffed, be strong.

  7. Chuffed-Beyond-Words – I hope your situation resolves as positively as it can, under the circumstances. Losing a parent is hard, and not knowing the details has got to be tough. Be strong for those you love as they no doubt need YOU more than ever.

  8. Not knowing compounds the pain so terribly. I hope with all my heart you will find some answers – and quickly – and God’s peace and love will surround you. Many prayers going out, dear friend.

  9. Chuffed –

    I can’t imagine the feeling of not knowing what happened. You are in my prayers.

    It has not been a good evening at IOTW. But the thoughts, love, and strength from our community is abundant and over-flowing.

    Peace..to all.

  11. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
    and let perpetual light shine upon him.
    May the souls of the faithful departed,
    through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

    You have my sympathy.

  31. Death being expected or unexpected always comes suddenly, but it is never easy and always a severe loss for those of us who remain.
    You, your family and friends are in our prayers.
    Blessings.

  36. Loss of a parent is always difficult, no matter what.
    Even though my father and I were estranged and he was a putz (putting it lightly and grossly under-exaggerating) I still have great and fond memories of earlier in life, and miss him.
    I would love to see him again and get that type of hug only a father can give.
    My heart is with you Chuffed, and sharing a tear with you as well.

  40. Chuffed, it is so, so hard to finish the rest of your own life without your dad nearby. There is something special about the bond between daughter and dad. My dad was the best. I know yours was, too. You have my prayers and thoughts for a long time to come. May Christ be with you and yours and bring comfort.

  46. Chuffed-Beyond-Words,

    We are and were around the same ages when our dads died (per when you let it be known last thread).

    It SUCKS but you’ll have your own family one day to talk to them about HIM.

    My 94 year old mom died just two years ago and a ‘retarded’ bro two years before that.

    When you happen to find yourself running around from place to place getting things in order, side step into an open church, sit down, and breath deep. The silence will allow you to gather your thoughts.

    @ PJ – yes, “and let the perpetual light shine upon him”.

    (I grew up hearing that when our family would make graveside visits).

    Best to you and your family,

    GoCJG

  48. Chuffed, I’m so sorry for the loss of your father. I pray you find peace and strength, and that you remember the better times and keep those alive and close to your heart. I was 21 and pregnant when my dad died suddenly, so I can understand some of what you’re going through. Take care and be well. <3
