Title: No Easy way to Say this...
Post by: Sirgod on June 05, 2004, 11:35:36 am
My Nephew Skyler Passed away sometime last night. My sister woke me up around 8 this morning, and no CPR I could do could help. The ME left about 10:30 or so this morning. So far we Believe It was SIDS, but we won't know for sure untill monday or so.

Please understand that If I seem abit Loopey today, why.

Thanks all, and God Bless.

Oh, my God. One of my biggest fears is to see my girls die. (about lost one to pneumonia and another cord around the neck.)

I can't imagine what you and your family are going through. If there is anything we can do for your family. Let us know.

I sent some sympathy flowers your way. Courtesy of Mike and Sara Nevil. And the taldren members.  
Title: Re: No Easy way to Say this...
Post by: Sirgod on June 05, 2004, 07:56:40 pm
Thank You Mike, You've always been a stand up guy.

On Monday, I will try and Set up something with a SID's Organization for Donations to be made in Skylers name. It's the least I can do right now, as Everything is kinda closed untill Monday.

I know I'm once again rambling from post to post, But again, I'm finding that I do in fact have an extended family here.

I'll try and see If I can't get a website up also with pictures of the Baby if for nothing else, My own sanity.

Title: Re: No Easy way to Say this...
Post by: E_Look on June 05, 2004, 10:38:13 pm
I think I can almost sympathize.  I was told my second one, during his first weeks of gestation, had at best a 50-50 chance.  I felt like the life and color just went out of my world... I was moving around as if on autopilot.   My first one was strong and healthy, but still, news from a doctor like that plain sucks.  (As it turned out, things got much better and he was delivered successfully and now is a successful pain in my neck, I'm happy to report.)

It was a horrible feeling.  I don't know know what to say to you and your sister... a teardrop for the Mom and Dad and the poor baby.

Title: Re: No Easy way to Say this...
Post by: Merlinfmct87 on June 06, 2004, 02:51:41 pm
What to say...

I don't know, what is the proper noise to make?

I'll say what is in my heart then: SirGod, the pain you are feeling is something that no body can even begin to understate unless they lost a child--and the only thing that does is demonstrate that each one's loss is unique and painful in it's own way. So no one can relate to the pain you and your sister are feeling.

This does not mean that you are alone, however. Don't be afraid to reach out to your family and your friends here on this fourm, and don't be afraid to stay alone when you need to. This pain won't go away, just as your love of him would not go away, but you will move on nonetheless.

This news has caught me off-guard, as it always does. I can only say this: Celebrate his life. It might have been short, but it was obviously around good people and loving parents, and he obviously gave you much love.

Don't forget that.

I'll light a candle for you tonight SirGod

 I am deeply saddened to hear about your loss my friend. No amount of words could ever lessen the grief you and your family are feeling. I am praying for you, your sister, and all of you family. I am so sorry to heart about Skyler!

Stephen,

I'm truly sorry to hear of your families loss, and my thoughts are with you.  As you mentioned my family had a similar experiance recently, and as such I can understand how you feel.  It's very strange to have to deal with the death of one so young, and the best you can do is be there for your sister.

Once again, my condolences to your family...i'll keep you all in my thoughts.

I've been so busy today, that just now was I finilly able to get online. I just wanted to thank Each and everyong of you, who shown there Caring hearts to me and My family.

They say If you have one true friend in this world, your Lucky. With You guys, and Gals, I feel like the luckiest man in the world. I'm working on Setting up a Memorial Service for sometime this week. I paid to have Skyler Cremated yesterday, and I believe his body was released today to the Funeral home.

Of course I'll post here When The time is, as I know I have a few Friends here in the state.

Once again, Thank you all For friendship, Kindness, and anything else I can't remember at this time.

You are going to have a empty fealing for a while Even after A year n half I still miss my father. Even tho we never really got along untill the end. And take all the time you need,like they say family first in these kinds of things. Internet would be the last thing I would worry about.

Post by: Sethan on June 08, 2004, 12:32:52 am
Stephen - I've been silent on this for a while since we talked because I did not have the right words, and anything I could have said would have sounded formulaic and trite.

I'm still not sure I have the right words, but my heart goes out to you and yours, and I will do my best to say what I mean.

I know you've had to be strong for your family - someone had to be, and that is a burden which fell on your shoulders - but once what has to be done is done, take the time to grieve with them too.  They will need that from you then as much as they needed you to be strong when someone had to be - and you need to be able to grieve too, with people who understand how close to Skyler you were.

Grief shared is grief diminished.

And it not a bad thing because I think for the most part, that is how much we all think.  
You're a great guy and if there is anything I can help you with, just call.

Sethan, One of my dearest friends. I promise you I will grieve in time. Once again, I had to be strong today, as The Remains where Brought to my house this morning. I set up a small area on our Manual, and Have recieved so many cards already.

I want to thank you all for your kindness, And I'll try to call each and everyone as time Permits. It's just been a very Long week so far.

It will be on Saturday at 1:00 Pm, at My Son's house. However, I still don't have the address, as I just usually go there. It's an Okie thing.

If anyone is planning on coming, Please show up at My house by noon, so we can All travel together.

In many way's, your as much a part of this family as my own Flesh and Blood. Simply Because so many of you went through this whole thing with me and mine for the last 6 months.

It was really good to hear your voice yesterday Steve.  I trully wish that I had better words to say to your sister.  I tried very hard not to cry but . . .  and it's so hard to speak when you hardly have any breath.  Still it was so good to hear from you.

Once again My thanks.

alien what you did was Very Kind to say the least. I believe next month, My wife and I will take a trip to Hawaii, If for nothing else, To get away from It all, suspend Belief, and To Basicly give our selves a break. If I can make arrangments with JMM I will also Visit Mexico.

I know this sounds Very Immature my friends, But we need a break away from Alot of stress.

the most important thing right now though is my sister and her loss.

Stephen
Title: Re: No Easy way to Say this...
Post by: Merlinfmct87 on June 10, 2004, 12:11:26 am
Immature?

IMMATURE?!

You have suffered a terrible loss SirGod, I don't have to tell you that. A little suspension of reality is not only healty, in your case it's required. You need some time and seperation to deal with the sucking chest wound you have in your soul.

Even Doctors give morphene to patience under surgery. I see no reason why you should feel exempt from that precedent. The only caution I would say is make sure you don't get hooked on it, you have to come back.

But if you have made it this far you already know that, moreover, you won't let yourself do that for your sister's sake.

Summary: Feel no guilt about the time away from the house. You have already shown great strength in this matter, and it is time you focused on healing.

Take care,

Merlin

I know I'm once again rambling from post to post, But again, I'm finding that I do in fact have an extended family here.

I'll try and see If I can't get a website up also with pictures of the Baby if for nothing else, My own sanity.

Post by: E_Look on June 05, 2004, 10:38:13 pm
I think I can almost sympathize.  I was told my second one, during his first weeks of gestation, had at best a 50-50 chance.  I felt like the life and color just went out of my world... I was moving around as if on autopilot.   My first one was strong and healthy, but still, news from a doctor like that plain sucks.  (As it turned out, things got much better and he was delivered successfully and now is a successful pain in my neck, I'm happy to report.)

It was a horrible feeling.  I don't know know what to say to you and your sister... a teardrop for the Mom and Dad and the poor baby.

Post by: Merlinfmct87 on June 06, 2004, 02:51:41 pm
What to say...

I don't know, what is the proper noise to make?

I'll say what is in my heart then: SirGod, the pain you are feeling is something that no body can even begin to understate unless they lost a child--and the only thing that does is demonstrate that each one's loss is unique and painful in it's own way. So no one can relate to the pain you and your sister are feeling.

This does not mean that you are alone, however. Don't be afraid to reach out to your family and your friends here on this fourm, and don't be afraid to stay alone when you need to. This pain won't go away, just as your love of him would not go away, but you will move on nonetheless.

This news has caught me off-guard, as it always does. I can only say this: Celebrate his life. It might have been short, but it was obviously around good people and loving parents, and he obviously gave you much love.

Don't forget that.

I'll light a candle for you tonight SirGod

Once again, my condolences to your family...i'll keep you all in my thoughts.

I've been so busy today, that just now was I finilly able to get online. I just wanted to thank Each and everyong of you, who shown there Caring hearts to me and My family.

They say If you have one true friend in this world, your Lucky. With You guys, and Gals, I feel like the luckiest man in the world. I'm working on Setting up a Memorial Service for sometime this week. I paid to have Skyler Cremated yesterday, and I believe his body was released today to the Funeral home.

Of course I'll post here When The time is, as I know I have a few Friends here in the state.

Once again, Thank you all For friendship, Kindness, and anything else I can't remember at this time.

Stephen - I've been silent on this for a while since we talked because I did not have the right words, and anything I could have said would have sounded formulaic and trite.

I'm still not sure I have the right words, but my heart goes out to you and yours, and I will do my best to say what I mean.

I know you've had to be strong for your family - someone had to be, and that is a burden which fell on your shoulders - but once what has to be done is done, take the time to grieve with them too.  They will need that from you then as much as they needed you to be strong when someone had to be - and you need to be able to grieve too, with people who understand how close to Skyler you were.

Grief shared is grief diminished.

My Address is 1443 NW 29th Street. OKC, OK, 73106.

I will be holding a Memorial at my Son's and Daughter in laws house on Saturday around 1:00 pm. I'm trying to finalize the final details, and get everything Set.

Sethan, One of my dearest friends. I promise you I will grieve in time. Once again, I had to be strong today, as The Remains where Brought to my house this morning. I set up a small area on our Manual, and Have recieved so many cards already.

I want to thank you all for your kindness, And I'll try to call each and everyone as time Permits. It's just been a very Long week so far.


God Bless you all.

It will be on Saturday at 1:00 Pm, at My Son's house. However, I still don't have the address, as I just usually go there. It's an Okie thing.

If anyone is planning on coming, Please show up at My house by noon, so we can All travel together.

In many way's, your as much a part of this family as my own Flesh and Blood. Simply Because so many of you went through this whole thing with me and mine for the last 6 months.

alien what you did was Very Kind to say the least. I believe next month, My wife and I will take a trip to Hawaii, If for nothing else, To get away from It all, suspend Belief, and To Basicly give our selves a break. If I can make arrangments with JMM I will also Visit Mexico.

I know this sounds Very Immature my friends, But we need a break away from Alot of stress.

the most important thing right now though is my sister and her loss.

Post by: Merlinfmct87 on June 10, 2004, 12:11:26 am
Immature?

IMMATURE?!

You have suffered a terrible loss SirGod, I don't have to tell you that. A little suspension of reality is not only healty, in your case it's required. You need some time and seperation to deal with the sucking chest wound you have in your soul.

Even Doctors give morphene to patience under surgery. I see no reason why you should feel exempt from that precedent. The only caution I would say is make sure you don't get hooked on it, you have to come back.

But if you have made it this far you already know that, moreover, you won't let yourself do that for your sister's sake.

Summary: Feel no guilt about the time away from the house. You have already shown great strength in this matter, and it is time you focused on healing.

Take care,

Merlin

I so sorry for the loss your family experienced, you have been though so much Stephen mere words feel so insignificant at this point.  I'll be praying that better times come for both you and your loved ones.  Take care.

What to say...

I don't know, what is the proper noise to make?

I'll say what is in my heart then: SirGod, the pain you are feeling is something that no body can even begin to understate unless they lost a child--and the only thing that does is demonstrate that each one's loss is unique and painful in it's own way. So no one can relate to the pain you and your sister are feeling.

This does not mean that you are alone, however. Don't be afraid to reach out to your family and your friends here on this fourm, and don't be afraid to stay alone when you need to. This pain won't go away, just as your love of him would not go away, but you will move on nonetheless.

This news has caught me off-guard, as it always does. I can only say this: Celebrate his life. It might have been short, but it was obviously around good people and loving parents, and he obviously gave you much love.

Don't forget that.

I'll light a candle for you tonight SirGod

Stephen,

I'm truly sorry to hear of your families loss, and my thoughts are with you.  As you mentioned my family had a similar experiance recently, and as such I can understand how you feel.  It's very strange to have to deal with the death of one so young, and the best you can do is be there for your sister.

Once again, my condolences to your family...i'll keep you all in my thoughts.

I've been so busy today, that just now was I finilly able to get online. I just wanted to thank Each and everyong of you, who shown there Caring hearts to me and My family.

They say If you have one true friend in this world, your Lucky. With You guys, and Gals, I feel like the luckiest man in the world. I'm working on Setting up a Memorial Service for sometime this week. I paid to have Skyler Cremated yesterday, and I believe his body was released today to the Funeral home.

Of course I'll post here When The time is, as I know I have a few Friends here in the state.

Once again, Thank you all For friendship, Kindness, and anything else I can't remember at this time.

You are going to have a empty fealing for a while Even after A year n half I still miss my father. Even tho we never really got along untill the end. And take all the time you need,like they say family first in these kinds of things. Internet would be the last thing I would worry about.

Stephen - I've been silent on this for a while since we talked because I did not have the right words, and anything I could have said would have sounded formulaic and trite.

I'm still not sure I have the right words, but my heart goes out to you and yours, and I will do my best to say what I mean.

I know you've had to be strong for your family - someone had to be, and that is a burden which fell on your shoulders - but once what has to be done is done, take the time to grieve with them too.  They will need that from you then as much as they needed you to be strong when someone had to be - and you need to be able to grieve too, with people who understand how close to Skyler you were.

Grief shared is grief diminished.

OMG Stephen,
 I wish I caught this one earlier!  I wish there is something I could truely say to help but, in all truth Sethan stole the boat.
And it not a bad thing because I think for the most part, that is how much we all think.  
You're a great guy and if there is anything I can help you with, just call.

Steve

My Address is 1443 NW 29th Street. OKC, OK, 73106.

Sethan, One of my dearest friends. I promise you I will grieve in time. Once again, I had to be strong today, as The Remains where Brought to my house this morning. I set up a small area on our Manual, and Have recieved so many cards already.

I want to thank you all for your kindness, And I'll try to call each and everyone as time Permits. It's just been a very Long week so far.


God Bless you all.

Thank you my friends. Storm, I would appreciate that. I just now got back from setting up those little memorium thingies that are at Funerals.

It will be on Saturday at 1:00 Pm, at My Son's house. However, I still don't have the address, as I just usually go there. It's an Okie thing.

If anyone is planning on coming, Please show up at My house by noon, so we can All travel together.

In many way's, your as much a part of this family as my own Flesh and Blood. Simply Because so many of you went through this whole thing with me and mine for the last 6 months.

Stephen And Denise Smith.

It was really good to hear your voice yesterday Steve.  I trully wish that I had better words to say to your sister.  I tried very hard not to cry but . . .  and it's so hard to speak when you hardly have any breath.  Still it was so good to hear from you.

Post by: Sirgod on June 09, 2004, 10:24:17 pm
Once again My thanks.

alien what you did was Very Kind to say the least. I believe next month, My wife and I will take a trip to Hawaii, If for nothing else, To get away from It all, suspend Belief, and To Basicly give our selves a break. If I can make arrangments with JMM I will also Visit Mexico.

I know this sounds Very Immature my friends, But we need a break away from Alot of stress.

the most important thing right now though is my sister and her loss.

Stephen

Immature?

IMMATURE?!

You have suffered a terrible loss SirGod, I don't have to tell you that. A little suspension of reality is not only healty, in your case it's required. You need some time and seperation to deal with the sucking chest wound you have in your soul.

Even Doctors give morphene to patience under surgery. I see no reason why you should feel exempt from that precedent. The only caution I would say is make sure you don't get hooked on it, you have to come back.

But if you have made it this far you already know that, moreover, you won't let yourself do that for your sister's sake.

Summary: Feel no guilt about the time away from the house. You have already shown great strength in this matter, and it is time you focused on healing.

Take care,

Merlin
