The definite, new "How Do You Feel" Thread

[Siren]

@Tal: we never even dreamt of getting that far either. but that was more of a personal comment towards Tod anyway, seeing as he was getting quite passionate about it earlier.

 

[Taliesin]

Someone get the lovebirds a room already

 

[Siren]

The room was Belgrade Arena. And judging from the 19,000 crowd, i think it qualifies for an orgy.

 

[Taliesin]

you little nationalist you

The german team played a nice tournament though, I find. It was especially interesting to see the team grow around Nowitzki. That was very nicely done. I think those are the easiest losses, too. They fought well but you were by quite a bit the better team. I prefer that to a lucky win by far. They'll come home proudly, Im sure

Teach me passion for I fear it's gone
Show me love, hold the lorn
So much more I wanted to give to the ones who love me
I'm sorry
Time will tell (this bitter farewell)


about 24 hours ago, my dad left this mortal coil.

i've got the he as hollow as i alone line smashing my head in when i think about his last days, disabled in a hospital bed.

on the other hand, i think that mankind really lost a great specimen in losing him.

anyone who knew him will concur.

 

[Siren]

yes, i'm sure they'll come home proudly, they deserve it. they lost to the best after all.

i like it how you germans react in these situations. if our same guys had lost today, everyone would be cursing at them and calling them losers, despite the fact they got to far.



edit: i'm really sorry, hyena, for your loss. there's a lot i can say but i don't know if they will help. for sure he's free of the pain and i believe he's in a better place right now. he might even be near, who knows.. *sends lots of hugs and support your way*

 

[Taliesin]

Im very sorry to hear that Claudia
My mother died the same way, so I can honestly relate, even though we made the same experience at a different point in life. Everyone who thinks the end of the suffering would a relief is gravely mistaken. I wish you the strength you need to face the next months. If there's anything I can do, let me know

 

[DragonLady1]

really sorry to hear that

 

[Northern Lights]

I'm so sorry for your loss, hyena. Wish there was something profound and comforting I could say, but words are always inadequate in these situations... I hope that you and your family will see this through as well as is possible.

 

[Arch]

Sorry to hear about your father, Claudia.

Good songs to contemplate the death with.
At least he, judging from what you say, made a positive mark, if not on the world, on the ones close to him.

How old was he?

 

[Hitori]

I'm sorry to hear that, hyena, but I suppose words can't be much help at this point
I hope you can deal with this as "smoothly" as possible

 

[Schwedentod]

@hyena: I'm sorry for you, no words to spend since it would be inadequate.

@Siren: We couldn't find a TV so we listened to web-radio. I don't like basketball at all, would have been the first game I would've ever seen. But I'm guilty that the Germans lost: I had a deal with the greeks! I promised them the BB-euro title and we will get the fucking football world championship next year in our own country... Victory!
Yes, King Chaos, the English won't make it, once again!

 

[Siren]

@Tod: you can have the world championship. i don't think we'll make anything good there. unless we surprise everyone (including ourselves) again.
edit: oh, and i don't watch basketball anymore (didn't even watch the game), but i used to be quite the fan back in the day, watching games glued to the tv and reading sports pages and such. eeew.

You have my most heartfelt sympathy Claudia, I wish the best for your family in these difficult times.

 

[Rusty]

I'm very sorry to hear of your loss Claudia, you have my deepest sympathies.

Dear hyena,

I´m sad for your bad news. Ever since I came over to this board, about 3 years ago, I followed also the story of you and your father. You´ve been very strong all this time, and tried to be a supporting daughter. I hope that now are people there who support you and your family and you could feel held and "relaxed". I wish that you´ll get some breathing from work and could have the sorrow time you need.
A while ago, you told here about your wish to maybe go abroad vs the wish to be company for your mother. I hope for you to find the right balance, that you neither have go away with bad conscience, but also not feel trapped at a place that is not the one you want to be all the time. May you find the right decisions.

 

[wildfyr]

Claudia,

I'm very sorry you lost your father. I feel compelled to try to write something here but these things are difficult for me to compose, so please bear with me if I fumble for words.

As you already know I'm no stranger to parental loss. I recall your kind words to me when my mother passed. Thank you for being there in my time of need. I hope my sincere sympathy for you and your family during this difficult time can in some way help you now - in your time of need.

Saying the final goodbye is one of the toughest things I've faced in my life, so I have a very good idea the level of pain you must be experiencing. It sucks. I know that trying to "be strong" while coping at maximum pain levels is easier said than done, too, so don't feel like a weakling if you burst into tears when you feel overwhelmed. You need to try to let ALL of your emotions out - the good ones and the bad. Don't bottle them up inside.

Well, that's about all I can muster up at the moment. My thoughts are with you.

 

[Hitori]

NF: my dog is having puppies! she'd already had one by the time I had to leave for school and it was tiny

 

[hyena]

Thanks everyone for your words.

I'm kinda stranded, the strain was more or less under control in the last few days because I had something like three tons of paper to sign and it turned my attention away from the circumstance. But now I am home alone (still at my parents', but my mom and brother are out to sign more papers while i take care of some computer stuff) for the first time since the event, or at least i think so... and it's not any good.
