I'm sorry for your loss Marguerite.

The tributes from your children and husband were kind and thoughtful acts of Love.

May their love also support you as you grieve the loss of your father. I hope that you will find a peaceful acceptance of his passing, knowing that his suffering has ended.

And remember, HE wants you to live Your Life to the Fullest.
That will be the Best Way for you to Honor Him and his life.

Marguerite....Im sorry to read of your loss. I lost my Dad 15 years ago and I still miss him an awful lot. He died due to complications from heart surgery so when I found out that I needed a heart procedure it really brought back alot of emotions and fear. Our circumstances leading into surgery were very different, he wasn't in good health and other than my bogus valve I was in pretty good shape.

Take comfort in the fact that he is now at peace and can watch over you and your family. I KNOW that my Dad is watching over me. I think he had a hand in me going to a cardiologist for a simple checkup. Without that checkup I would have never known about the valve and in all honesty I think I wouldn't be here today. What is very bizarre is that my Dad passed away on February 13th, my appointment with my cardiologist 15 years after the fact ? You guessed it February 13th. Coincidence ? Maybe so, but I like to think that was his gift to me.
 
No matter what, even if it seems the easiest way and the best that could have happened, it's still terribly jarring. I wish you comfort in your sadness.

Be well,
 
Marguerite, I am so sorry for your loss. I love the picture of you and your father. You have done all the right things and abided faithfully to his wishes. Bless you for that. You might want to attend the Hospice six weeks' grief sessions. It is helpful in so many ways. God be with you as you work through all of the past years.
 
Marguerite,
I'm sorry to hear about your father. My father-in-law (surrogate dad) had alzheimer's and it is so hard on everyone. I wish you peace and comfort in the days ahead.

Dear Marguerite, I've been a caregiver for a 91 year old friend with Alzheimer's for the past four years. I've had three others helping, and it was still so consuming of my time, I can't imagine trying to deal with it on your own. He has just been moved to a nursing home, and I'm finding it a real adjustment to have my life back. I saw CBS Sunday Morning yesterday. Jim Nance(?) did a wonderful tribute to his dad,( who was taken by this disease). It was very touching, but mostly great to hear what Jim got out of their relationship. I hope you have some happy, and meaningful memories to sustain you in your loss. He must have done pretty well to have raised such a wonderful daughter! Your calm, warm, and articulate post, is in itself a tribute. My love to you, your valve bro, Brian Mc
