Guest guest Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 My father is diabetic and had a triple bypass in December 2004. Since the surgery his right side of his diaphram is paralyzed, his left arm doesn't work, and he has neuropathy in his right leg. We have had a lot of grief since 2004. My uncle passed October 2004. Then my grandpa went into the hospital November 2004 and when he came out my dad went in for his heart attack in December. In January of 2005 my mom went in for pneumonia. Then in May of 2005 my dad's father passed away. For the rest of that year and the beginning of this year my mom's dad went in and out of the hospital until he passed in April 2006. Two weeks after he passed my mom went into the ICU across the hall from where her father passed. In July 2006 my mom passed away. I feel we haven't had time to grieve for any of them. My dad's doctor said he was crying to much for his family members that passed especially his wife since 1972 so she put him on depression medicine. She also sent him to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist told him to find a new wife. My question to everybody is will this make his health worse? I read in the post for someone else that you are suppose to grieve. My father's doctor is not letting him grieve. Will this make his health worse or even put him in the hospital? Any information will be deeply appreciated.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Dear Jenny, I'm quite sure you will be receiving a great deal of mail in response to your very sad story. And before I put my two cents in, I would very much like to extend my friendship and prayers for your and your family's loss. But back to your dad...he will know what's right for himself. If he finds someone(of the female persuation) to listen while he " sounds off " , great! Because, believe me, men are way, way, different in the way they grieve, than women. Leave him alone, and just be there for him when he needs you and when he needs to talk, if he wants to talk. And try not to be judgemental if you does find someone.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 im sorry to hear about your loss, and i hope that you remain strong as you go through this tuff time, but i remember when i was goin thru a tuff time my grandmother passed and now my grandfather who is ninety two is dying of cancer...what is keepin me sane is my daily quest to stay healthy and positive. watch as many funny shows/movies as possible. also what helped me was drinking tahitian noni juice, which is made from an exotic fruit from the french polynesian islands (tahiti) go to tni.com for more info. if you have any questions about the juice hit me up at ansel_parker linda bowman <isp_linda_bowman49 wrote: Dear Jenny, I'm quite sure you will be receiving a great deal of mail in response to your very sad story.
