Today Makes Two Years Since My DIL Passed Away

[OneEyedDiva]

I posted this tribute to her on my Facebook (FB) page, her FB page and in the group I started to celebrate her life. I still think of her several times a day and sometimes I still can't believe she's gone. The grief still overcomes me from time to time, but as I stated below, the happy memories prevail most of the time.
Two years ago on this date, our world was shattered. I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest. Your sudden passing left me asking Oh God, WHY did Tonya go and leave me here like this?!

I sought comfort in Him and have prayed every day since that our blended families will be comforted and our grief eased.

Allah answered my prayer and now when I think of you daily, I often smile because I remember the fun, crazy times we had. I hear your voice saying your favorite expressions that used to make me laugh. Continue to rest peacefully my Daughter-in-Love, my Daughter. I love you eternally.

Diva, I actually can't believe it has been 2 years since you lost your precious DIL. Beautiful tribute. Hugs.

Being remembered might be the greatest gift we can offer those who pass.

 

[Jules]

A lovely tribute to your lovely DIL.

Goodness , 2 years already since your daughter-in-law died ?... time goes so fast.....I remember it well, you were ravaged with pain.

I'm pleased you're beginning to heal Diva... may she R.I.P

A (((( hug )))) for you.

 

[911]

Excuse me, but WOW! What a doll. I don’t remember reading about her death. Was it sudden?

 

[Pepper]

I also am very impressed with DIL's appearance. She looks very smart, and snappy, like you can't put something over on her!

So sorry, Diva, for you and your son.

Somehow I missed your loss two years ago. Thank you for sharing your daughter-in-law's memory. She obviously had a great M-I-L who will keep her memory alive.

 

[Widow of Vietnam Vet]

What a beautiful young woman! And a beautiful tribute to her!
I am hugging you in my heart and mind.

 

[Teacher Terry]

It’s heartbreaking to lose a beloved family member especially so young.

 

[Pinky]

May her spirit comfort you, for the rest of your days.

 

[Jace]

Lovely looking lady..
They remain...in our heart

911, she and my son both had COVID. She was taking such good care of him and I had to remind her to take care of herself too. At first he seemed worse off, which concerned me because he was refusing to take medication. She was keeping me updated twice a day. I spoke to her for the last time on Thursday. I said I would let her rest on Friday and didn't call her.

Friday evening my son said he sent their son to get something from the drugstore for her and urged her to go to the hospital. So did her twin (who died of COVID three months later). Saturday morning she was still refusing to go to the hospital. She said she just wanted to take a nap. She laid down and never woke up.

That is so sad and I'm very sorry Diva.

I’m also very sorry for your loss. Wish there was something to say that would be uplifting but you are getting there. Time is our friend in these times of loss.

I can relate, but this isn’t about the person I knew that the same thing happened. I have often heard that caretakers sometimes become the victim. There aren’t any words I can say that will help you heal. I wish I had a magic wand that could be used to do that, but alas, I don’t. We have to keep the good memories in our minds and hope that they remind us of the better days.

I wish you well and someday find peace.

 

[Remy]

Very difficult. I'm so sorry.

 

[OneEyedDiva]

I thank each of you so much for your kind words and expressions of sympathy. They mean a great deal to me and really do help ease the grief.

My heart goes out to you. We are meant to precede our following generations.

My wife and I made a montage to this song of pictures of her parents when they both suddenly passed away 4 days apart last year. It's a touching number...hope you get, in some way, a small bit of inner peace from it.
