I wouldn't want anyone to hang around and suffer just to please my selfish whims though.He lived in Florida and while we weren't the closest Father and Son combination, we did keep in touch. I was the only one of his children who ever forgave him and would speak with him.Hopefully he finds some rest now from the demons that haunted him his whole life.Thanks again my friend!!!!!

Raincloud Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Fawzo,I said a prayer to God for you and your family.My impression was that this was going to hit 'emotionally' at a later point.Please know that people do care about you, even from the other side of the globe.Please, if you feel it's getting too much, please pray.*hugs*Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully comprehend the Buddhist teachings of the impermanence of all things and that it is our clinging to things that causes much of our pain. I think of the thousands of children who died horrible deaths because of malnourishemnet from the time my Dad passed and yet I shed not one tear for any of them and that my dad had a full life and caused much of his own suffering and pain from a life of alcohlism and heavy smoking.Yes I still mourn and am saddened and will miss him, but I realize that self pity does me little good. My experiences with what I believe to be the otther side leave me to believe it is nothing short of fantabulous and that my dad is way better off now. I hope he gets the chance to learn from mistakes he made during his last focus and gets a chance to make things right for himself.One of my personal short falls in this life is that I've always been overtly cerebral compared to emotional. I think I've missed out on many wonderful experiences in my own focus in this life by over thinking things. The recent passing of my family members has given me a chance to reflect on this.I thank you all for your well wishes. They truly helped me make it through the day by kindling a warm spot in my heart with each response posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan56 Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Just wanted to add my sympathy towards your loss. Sounds like your Dad struggled with some vices, but I reckon we all do to some extent. Losing family members isn't always unexpected, but it had to be somewhat traumatic to see him go the way he did.

The last few months have made me reconsider the idea of assisting those who wish to suffer no more and leave this plane of existence. Should we really be forcing all those folks like my grandmother who prayed every day for seven months that her Christian God would come and save her from her suffering.
