karin Report post Posted January 23, 2007 i know the last time i e-mailed everyone it was to say goodbye i dont contribute very much to the forum so didnt feel i had the right to be here,anyways my dad died suddenly in spain on 7th january he was 76 and had been ill for about a year i feel really upset about it because i could not get to go to his funeral mum decided to have him creamated over there as it would cost to much to bring his body back to britain,what makes this so ironic is mum an dad had paid for me and my whole family to come to spain in 9 weeks to see them they had paid the flights and the accomodation i was just to supply the spending money as me an hubby dont work an only get income support (basic) and family allowance guess i will never get to see my dad but im still going to spain to say goodbye to him just thought id let you all know karin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phoebe Report post Posted January 23, 2007 I can hardly imagine what you are going through - poor you. <'> <'> <'> <'> <'> <'> Would it be possible for you to have some sorrt of memeorial service when you are out there? Some dsort of service during which to say your goodbyes. How is your mum coping and does she have any support over there? Look after yourself. Sadly, time is the only healer.

oxgirl Report post Posted January 23, 2007 So sorry Karin about your sad news. Is it possible to bring your Dad's ashes back to the UK and have them scattered in a ceremony here. When my mum died we scattered her ashes on her parents' grave, so we would have somewhere to go to. Hope you are looking after yourself. Take care. <'> <'> <'> ~ Mel ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tsmom Report post Posted January 23, 2007 Im so very sorry The pain of losing a parent is awful. You could always talk to yr local church many will let you use the church to light a candle and say a private goodbye. I lost my mom 10 months ago the pain is still there every day but i can now talk about her with a smile,you will get there hun just give yourself time to heal. xxxx <'> <'> <'> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
annie Report post Posted January 23, 2007 <'> Karin <'> I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. My Mother in Law died here just after we moved to Oz (a few years ago now) and we couldn't return for the funeral. At the time my hubby spoke to a priest over there who mentioned her passing in a church service that we attended. I know it's not the same, but it really did help my hubby. Annie xx <'> PS.
