it has been a while since i posted.but on oct 8 i went on my cruise with my mother in law for 8 days,it was so much fun looking forward to going again..we got home from our cruise on sunday oct 15 during our cruise and our ride back home from miami my mother had talked to my father in law a few times to see how he was doing.he said he was fine..[FATHER IN LAW WAS 79}when he got home from{YES HE STILL WORKED FOR THE CITY OF ST AUGUSTINE PARKING COMMISION}they both went to eat then they came home and went to bed..my father in law had to work the next morning,he got up as usual had his breakfast,while having his breakfast,he told my mother in law his head hurt real bad and was getting worse by the min then he started throwing up everywhere mother in law asked if she should call 911 and he said yes,they rushed him to the hospital,while there he slipped into a coma,and they put him on life support..he had a bleeding stoke,and becuase he was on blood thinner pills there was nothing much they could do by the time the bleeding started the second time he was already brain dead so they took him off life support but he was also a organ donor so some of his organs like his lungs and liver went to someone who needed them,so he lives on in someone else,i loved my father in law so much..having a talk to him about my AH always made me feel better,yes my in laws r on my side when it came to my AH but keep me in your prayers i really need them now to get though this
How blessed you are to have inlaws like that. I had a very special mother in law that recently passed. I just hold on to the thought that she is happy and free from all the earthly chaos. Still, I miss her and am not looking forward to our 1st set of Holidays w/o her.
Losses are never easy but life does go on (whether we like it or not). We just keep marching on and learn to live with the loss and adjust to life on life's terms.
Take care. I'm sorry for your loss Christy

I am so sorry for your loss. But your father-in-law lives on because he donated his organs. Quite the extraordinary human being. Sending you love and prayers during this time. Glad you had a wonderful time on the cruise.
Love and blessings to you and your family.
Live strong,
Karilynn

thank you all for the prayers,and kind words.today is one week since his passing..it is going to be hard day to get though..,my mother in law told my AH last week that if he cant stop drinking for himself or for me to do it for her cause she needs him now and not being high on drugs or booze.but i dont think that will happen,but we will see..not many people get along with thier inlaws but i did,my father in law was more a father to me then an inlaw he was the greatest.my mother in law and i r more like best friends...mother in law and i talked over the weekend and i think{if we can we have to find out first}that on the anniversary of his death next year oct 16 2007,we would like to go on a cruise so we can scatter his ashes on the ocean but that is something we need to find out..i really hope we can do it..again thanks for the prayers and kind words
I, too, lost a loved one last Monday. It was my sister-in-law. We had been close many years ago. For about the last 15 years or so we had drifted apart. It was very hard seeing her lying in bed dying... thinking about the good times we did share. My husband is now the only one left in his immediate family. I feel really sad for him. His siser was only 63 years old.
