Hello all:
I am unable to post more today, because my mind cannot focus. A friend of mine told me this morning that a former coworker of ours, Tom, took his own life yesterday. He cried out for help and when it was offered, he decided that he just didn’t think he was worth it.
I am saddened and shocked. I didn’t know him well, but I knew him, I worked side by side with him in families’ homes that struggle through life. I always knew that he had a hard time of things, but am so sad that he thought that there was no other way out. And, that he was that alone in the world.
So, please, send up any prayers and thoughts that you can spare, for Tom and anyone that he leaves behind. And, send as many as as tight of hugs my way as you can.
My heart hurts.
(((hugs)))
I’m so sorry to hear about your former co-worker. It is always so sad and so shocking, even when you only knew the person a little.
My prayers are with your former co-worker and all those mourning his loss.
Tight tight big big hugs huns, so sad
Thank you both so much……
So sorry for this Vanessa. Your wish is my command and my best thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Thank you so much, Joy. The warmth of friends helps, believe me.
Will leave a candle burning.
I’m sorry Vanessa. What a sad and scary thing. Sad day all around, I feel your tight squeeze, and I’m squeezing you right back. My thoughts are with you and everyone involved. It’s just so sad…
SE: Thank you, I will be able to see it burning brightly, I believe…..
Nikki: Thank you, I feel that hug! Yes, so incredibly sad, to feel that desperate and alone. I am with you in thoughts and spirit on your sad day as well…….
I’m sending you warm hugs and lots of prayers.
(((HUGS))) It is so sad, to see someone simply give in to the pain. I hope you can find light in a dark day.
Big bear hugs and extra cuddles for kitty.
Now I see why she came round my door yesterday and today, too.
Only silence is wide enough to hold, to embrace the grief so large, so close -
Do you have snow? Send him some snowangels. We had some today, even.
Take hold of all hot bodies you can, my dearest V, catch the stranger’s friendly eye, and laugh out loud ASAP.
Despair is only the other side of hope.
Take care of yourself and well done, asking for help!
