What was one of the hardest things you've ever had to do or decisions you've ever had to make? (59)
bestbefore: Having to tell my parents that their son of 35 had died in Sri Lanka.
He was on holiday with his wife and dropped dead in the Indian Ocean early in the morning. Due to communication difficulties ,my sister-in-law was unable to phone the U.K. and everything had to be done through Columbo.
One of the worst days of my life when I took that call.

Awww bestbefore I'm sure it was.

Happygolucky4u: I cannot just name one. I have to name the top three. They are equal in the pain I felt having to do them. To tell the doctors to let my father go it was past time. They called me and told me they thought his heart was fixing to stop and wanted to know if I wanted them to revive him if it did. To hold my moms hand as she drew her last breath. And that one I really wanted to do. She had been such a good mum and I wanted to be there with her when the time came. Even though I was prepared it still hurt greatly. And the third was to let my husband go with as much dignity as I could. These three events happened in less than a five year span. Not only were they hardest thing I have ever done they were the most painful.
So sorry for your lose Happy.

Happygolucky4u: I know the feeling. You really want them to stay. But you know it is time. In my fathers case it was past time. And I know he would of wanted to go. I felt like an orphan my mum and dad passed a month apart from each other. And even though I had been caregiver and I was an adult I still felt like an orphan Your birthday for some reason that seems so sad and so wrong that life deals us cards like that
Do you know Happy I didn't look upon it as a curse that he passed on my Birthday,more of a present to me, that I would not have to see him suffer[ He had lung and brain cancer] any longer.
I also knew that he was going to be reunited with his wife, who had pased 6 months previously, and their son.
Thank you for sharing.
Life moves in mysterious ways at times.

My toughest decision was whether to have part of my leg amputated below knee. I had surgeries to try to increase blood flow and they didn't work. First I has 2 toes removed and part of the ball of the foot. Next they remobed half of my foot. They left the foot open to help the infection leak out the next week they were going to close the foot nur the infection was going up both sides of my right leg. The doctors told me I should have the leg amputated and I did. It will be 10 years on Aug. 27 that I had it done.

Very true and that's what I did. I wasn't bullied into the decision of therapy. I knew that it would be the answer to a long standing family problem. I made the decision, nobody forced me to do it. Therapy isn't everybody's favorite thing but when it works, it's a blessing..------ This thread is Archived ------

How can I say this without coming off like a complete insincere idiot.
I guess it was better to lose your leg since there was no way around it then losing your life.

No doubt it was quite a relief that he was found.
Also how is your son?

I am so sorry that you never got to see your Unborn Child ........ thankfully times have changed that allow parents to say goodbye, to hold them, touch them, even take photos - but still losing a child ....words cannot express such grief or anger or even frustration.....
