F**k Cancer

I am so sorry to hear this news.
I can't imagine how you feel right now.
I wish I could help in some way.
My sincere condolences.
 
I talked to my son in law told me. He has been sleeping at the hospital next next to my daughter's bed and woke up this morning at 5:15 AM Washington time. He reached up to hold Chari's hand and it was cold. He put his ear to her chest and there was no heart beat. He called the nurse in to the room and at 5:25 am she was pronounced dead. So we assume that she went peacefully in her sleep. I was driving into my work parking lot at the same time (6:25 DST) and I called the hospital at 6:45 to have the nurse put the phone to her ear so I could tell her that I loved her. The front desk transferred me to Chari's room and her nurse told me that she had just passed 20 minutes ago and her husband Don had already left the room. I learned this all just after arriving to work.

I stayed at work for another hour trying my best to compose myself and luckily I did not have any calls. Around 7:30 the HR manager was in the break room near me so I went up to her with a face full of tears and informed her that my daughter had just passed an hour ago. I had a very hard time getting the words out and she told me that I should take the day off. So I came back home, took my wife to breakfast and have been dealing with my feelings all day.
 
Grant,

Know that we all are saddened by this unimaginable loss. I am sorry that I cannot do something or say something that could ever ease this kind of pain, but as a Musical Brother, we are all here for you in spirit.... :(
 
FWIW, Wav...
For reasons that are too complicated for me to put in words, you and your precious Charlene are my heroes right now. Personally, I'm finding some comfort that she is not suffering anymore. So my focus will be on you. In fact, it seems very obvious that there are quite a lot of members here who have your back. We all grieve and mourn with you.

To better times ahead... :cheers:
 
As Ray said, "My deepest condolences Grant".
Charlene is at peace and now it's your time. Time to take strength from friends and live the life Charlene would wish for you.
 
So sorry. My deepest condolences, Grant. Take care of yourself and spend time with the ones you love. Hang in there.
 
Not good with this kind of stuff, but we all weep and bleed with you, Grant!
Peace Brother!
 
I thank you all for your condolences. It was hard at first, but I knew it was coming and although someone can never really accept and welcome the death of a loved one, I do know that she is better off now than she was laying in bed sick. I feel bad for her husband Don who lost the love of his life, his soul mate. Char was fortunate to have such a wonderful man in her life and by her side. I myself still feel a sense of loss, but I'm almost at the point where I can talk about this without my eyes leaking... almost. The band of merry misfits that surprised me with a bass amp have shown me just how much love there is here on the TTR forums. To each and every member here, I thank you!

As we come near to the Thanksgiving holiday, I will look deeply within myself and give thanks for all that has been bestowed upon me. I know that Thanksgiving is an American holiday not celebrated by a lot of our international members, however I truly hope that all of us here have something to be thankful for every day, not just once a year.
 
I hope you make it through Grant. Losing a loved one really changes you. It makes you realize life is too short and you should enjoy every minute with your loved ones that you have because things can change in an instant. I'm still not completely over the death of my wife and mother but I know now that they are in a better place watching out for me. Just take one day at a time my friend and you'll make it through.

Thanks Black. I lost my father in 1987, my mother in 2009, 9 friends and family in 2015 and now my daughter last week. I'm getting through it, not going off the deep end. Besides I got a group like y'all covering my 6 and keeping my spirits up.
 
:)
