Another Email I received from my dad on June 16th...11 days before he passed away.

Hi Robin,
             Here's some more of my thoughts as reflected in this little poem. Perhaps it has no important or significance to you.....and that's quite all right with me. Yet....I wanted to share with you .....feel more than free to zap it into cyber space.
             I hope and trust that you are getting along ok. Please take care of your health...especially at this once in a life time event.
                                                                       Love,
                                                                          Daddy 
                                           
                                                          The Past

Living in the moment is the way to be....dwelling on the past...will never set you free.
Each conscious second is as precious as the last...yet being in the present is always a task.
We ponder days gone by wishing for change...But alas..it's ludicrous for it will eternally remain the same.
Why do we reflect and dream in this past....knowing each moment could be our last?
Memories hint of how we might change....yet to dream in the past is truly insane.
So dwell in the future my incarnate fool.....as moment follows moment in this brief living school.
                                                         Robert French Charles

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

"Professional help gives you a safe space to talk, understand your emotions, and learn healthy ways to cope. It can make grief feel less overwhelming and easier to manage over time. https://www.ambrosiatc.com"

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.

Loss of a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide

If you have lost a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide please share your story or feelings here. Share the love and beauty of the one you lost. Losing someone any of these ways is not natural and can be hard to understand and ask why? I lost my Mother to an overdose 9 years ago. She also suffered from major depression. Her doctor got her hooked on pain medication and she was addicted most of my life. These doctors who were suppose to help her ended up killing her in the end. I also…See More
