Leave a message to dead people as they truly are angels? So angels frequent the Internet? Seriously, how could you think your dead relatives read a message board? I'll pass because I don't think that my dead relatives hang out at a coupons site. ROFL!

You'll know they visit the internet when I die!
Bwa ha ha ha haaaa....

Christmas is bittersweet isn't it? There is the joy of the season and the sadness for the nostalgia of Christmases past. For most of us childhood Christmases meant family and food and presents little did we know the adults were feeling the way we do today.

To My Nonna, my cousin Frankie, my Aunts, Uncles, Marlana, my father I wish you could all be here with me today! I still love you.

For the love of God can you guys give it a break? It's Christmas for goodness sakes. Dead people may not read the internet but I'll enlighten you since you seem to be ignorant on this subject: it is therapeutic (which means it is emotionally and mentally and psychologically good for you) to "communicate" with those who have gone.

And just maybe they are up there in Heaven and they DO see and hear the messages we leave them.

Can't you guys just give it a rest for Christmas?

opaldancing how truly sad for you to write that comment in this post .It was intended for any member here to leave a few words to loved ones who are not with us anymore.Again how truly sad there was not once person who lost , who you would have loved to leave a message in spirit or a prayer which this was it ...Thanks soooooo much for all whom posted and left you heartfelt comments I deeply appreciated it and loved reading them all. And yes they are angels looking down on us..Btw is it Christmas here on the East Coast. So I offer a sincere blessed christmas to you and your families, god bless you and give safe, and stay healthy.Joy to the world and Much Joy to all on the boards... Peace Merry Merry Christmas to all.....Catherine

P.s annadrose i simply loved your post you spoke all the right words. Its makes us feel good inside to leave a prayer and message for those whom we have so dearly lost and wished were here to celebrate the holidays and as always they are angels and are always with us in spirt but mostly in our hearts. Thanks hon for the kind words... Peace.. Catherine

Hey Opaldancing, Aka scrooge. This post was to make US feel better, not really thinking that anyone we wrote to would reply or see the post for that matter.. If you didnt want to leave a message for your family or friends who passed, why did you even bother to reply to this post? I guess it was just to try to make fun of us who did. I am still glad I left the message and I just considered the source when I saw what your wrote.

It's Christmas morning, and all the hub bub is over, and now I'm left with time to reflect on past Christmas mornings and think of my grandparents who aren't with me anymore. They came up every Christmas Eve and stayed the night with us so they could enjoy watching us ravage the presents! My grandpa was my best friend, the only godly influence my whole childhood/young adult life, so I miss him terribly.....not just now, but every day. I know I'm a better person for having him in my life, and I always told him if I could just be half the person he was, I'd consider myself a success. I miss my friend.

God bless us all today and always. Really, when you think about it, what are we without our memories? I'm glad we all have great ones to cherish. XOXOXOXOXOXO

dont believe in angels???

brownsugargirl, that was so beautiful what you wrote about your grandpa. I am pleased to know that you had your dearly loved grandpa in your life. Sometimes in life people come in and out of our lives and leave us with such wonderful heartfelt memories that will last a lifetime. Its those people whom I mean are true true angels especially like you said brownsugargirl, who really needed your grandfather and helped you so much. Hon always always cherish him and the memories of him and keep him close in your mind, soul, and heart forever and ever. Personally both my grandfathers died when my parents were 10 and 11 years old, so I never had grandpa, you were truly blessed....Enjoy this holiday and remember all the memories of christmas past and this way they will remain deep inside forever and ever. Again thanks for all for sharing..Peace and Merry Christmas and enjoy family and your health for they are the true christmas gifts to give and receive....Catherine

Well, I'll ignore the scrooges on the board. I honestly can't believe you guys would even talk like that. I'm really surprised.

To my mom and dad: You've been gone 7 Christmases now. Christmas just isn't the same since you've been gone. The family isn't as 'together' as before. There was no question where we all would be on Christmas Day - at mama and daddy's. Now it's one is off to another state, another is off to a bowl game, another is so busy. Mama and daddy, you would be telling them it's time to slow down and be with family. Family was SO important to the both of you and you showed me how important family is. Mama, I still play the piano and have you and daddy's picture on the piano. I feel like I'm playing to you both, especially at Christmas and when I play the hymns you both loved so much. I put some beautiful Christmas flowers on your graves. I hope you liked them. And no, daddy, they weren't purple!!! (Daddy always told me 'don't you ever put purple flowers on my grave!') I hope you're enjoying Christmas in heaven again this year with each other and with your own parents and friends. A lot of your buddies are with you now. So Merry Christmas mama and daddy. I love you bunches!

I'm just wondering what a person achieves by posting a list of who they miss and what they miss....

Wouldn't the deceased loved one be better remembered by YOU (the general you) doing something productive in their name? (donate your time, your money, your energy to a certain cause or charity). Wouldn't the loved one be happier if you (again generally speaking) remembered them with your deeds? And why just this time of year? The people I've "lost" (but they really aren't lost--I know where they are) were special to me all year round, not just at Christmas.
And you know what? If I want to "speak" or "leave a message" for a deceased loved one--I go to a quiet place and "talk" to them. One deceased loved one is continued source of strength for me.
I guess what all this "post" a message stuff is feeling sorry for yourself, wallowing in sorrow or seeking sympathy for others. I concede that I don't understand what purpose posting a message on an internet board serves--if someone can explain???

And I just wonder why someone needs to criticize how other people express their memories, and why "going to a quiet place to 'talk' to them" is acceptable, but publicly expressing what the person meant to them is "feeling sorry for yourself, wallowing in sorrow or seeking sympathy for [sic] others."

I also wonder why, even if that is your view, someone chooses Christmas to express it.

Finally, I wonder why anyone would make fun of the persons posting here their sincere memories, such as this poster mocked this thread:

I have a friend who lost her son. She posts a message to him everyday on his caringbridge.com site. One of you seems to believe that this is funny, because "how could you think that your dead relatives" frequent the internet. Another believes that public posting is wallowing.

Since you expressing these thoughts seem free to criticize and judge, I'll do the same. I think that you both are callous.

To my grandparents, who I loved, I'm thinking about you tonight. I hope you are finding this funny. Personally, I find it sort of sad.

I said I didn't understand. I stated what it appeared to me, and asked for someone to explain. Thanks for not explaining a damned thing.

A recent loss of a child is something I can understand posting about daily (especially on a website dedicated solely to that child). But, yeah, at some point it can become wallowing and not dealing with your grief. And honestly, when a parent loses a child (especially a young child) I imagine the grief is unimaginable. I watched the wallowing in grief destroy my cousin's family when he was suddenly killed in a car accident at the age of 12. He was 12, his sister ran a stop sign and a school bus Tboned the car...didn't kill him instantly. He died a week later. The whole family fell apart and 25 years later are completely fractured. Yeah, they wallowed in the grief, have continued to wallow in grief and never dealt with their feelings. Would have posting daily on the internet (had it existed) helped their grief? I don't know. What would have helped? I don't know.

Like so many things, I don't know or have the answers. I can relate how something appears to me--and when/if new information is provided or given, I re-evaluate my opinion. But, since no one has offered an explanation--just mud slinging and snarky comments on me being callous (which I readily admit I'm jaded and cynical on a lot of things--this isn't one of them), I continue to stand by my opinion and ask explanation.

I see people who put ads in the local paper wishing their deceased loved ones "Happy Birthday" or how much they miss the person (and we're talking deceased people of many years--not recently deceased)--I don't understand that either. It seems kind of sad to me that these people buy ad space to do this.

My dad died 25 yrs ago, I miss him as much if not more now than I did when he first died. It dont matter how long they have been gone. you still miss them.
as for donating to a cause in his name like you posted in another post, I donate to the Humane society in memory of dad all the time, not just at the holidays.I vol. my time and work for various different projects for free in memory of my dad who was very well off and donated alot of money to various causes. I posted to this thread and dont really feel I need to explain why I posted about who I missed to anyone. I aint asking others why they post to any thread and dont feel the need to explain why I posted to any thread that I have replied to.

but can you see the hypocrisy of calling me callous when I simply stated I didn't understand some of this post? I don't agree and don't kowtow to just going along to get along, and I'm callous?

No one has to explain unless they want to---I believe that I said if anyone felt like providing an explanation. I didn't demand one.

Yes, I know about missing loved ones. That cousin I noted who died @ 12 y/o? He was my best friend. It's been 25 years since his death. And somethings, to this day, will remind me of him and I miss him immensely (I can not listen to Kenny Chesney's song "Who You'd be Today" without getting a lump in my throat).

I know you didn't

And I appreciate your explanation. I don't think all "I miss you" posts are created equal (so to speak), and some are posted simply as a way of acknowledging the impact the life and death of a loved one has had on the living.

However, others I see as just sad and pathetic cries for attention--in the vein of "poor me, I've lost so many important loved ones..." Of course, those posters never fail to bring up their lost loved ones at any given moment

Mental that one, I'm telling you. ---Ron Weasley, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"

You didn't do the same because we didn't insult you. We expressed our opinion. You didn't like our opinion and personally attacked us for it. We didn't criticize and judge but there isn't a board rule against it. Your opinion doesn't truble me but there's a difference in expressing your opinion and directly attacking someone. There is a rule against that. Why don't you go report yourself?

It's not you just "simply stated" you didn't understand, it's what came before that, that I think is the focus:

That's not "just stating" you don't understand, enough was added to look more like a judgment.

I can see how posting can be therapeutic for some. Can it be explained? I don't know how to put it in words, but I can understand it. Everyone works thru in their own ways. As long as it doesn't hurt anyone, it shouldn't make a difference. Whatever works.

You're right though, for some it's a call for attention. But there's always the option of not giving it to them, right?

I posted my family members I have lost. I didn't post it thinking they would read it on the internet because I believe that they can see into our hearts and know we love them and miss them. I guess I posted more to acknowledge that person existed and is loved and missed.
Did it make me feel better to say I miss my SIL who only passed away 6 months ago? Yes, it did- she left behind my brother and their 2 teenage kids who are very sad today.
Same goes with my Dad and FIL.

I was very touched to read the messages left by others. It made me feel less alone in my own losses, and it also was a reminder that others are hurting, and to be mindful of that. I know that you do what you need to do to memorialize your loved ones throughout the year, in your own ways. You don't owe any explanations to anyone here.

Thanks for posting and sharing. And I wish all of you a healthy, safe 2009 filled with comfort and joy. You are all inspiring to me so frequently on these boards.

To those who didn't "get" it, don't bother trying. You never will.

lol. I stand corrected, that was a great explanation.

You too, devinmom.

Well, aren't you little Mary Sunshine?

I acknowledged that some posts were more of a way of recognizing a loss and what that person meant to others.

I do understand some of the explanations--amazing isn't it? As human beings we are capable of re-evaluating things when new information becomes available.

I tend to question everything. That's a huge part of my profession---and sometimes I have a difficult time shutting down that part of my brain.

__________________
Mental that one, I'm telling you. ---Ron Weasley, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"

I called you callous, and I stand behind it. You weren't seeking information. You were judging. And you were judging harshly. I don't know how anyone could read your post and not think that you were judging people who post their thoughts and prayers online as being misguided. And I didn't think, and it is hard to see, that you were actually looking for guidance on this.

I will say that I didn't find your post as obnoxious as the one which made fun of the thought of people posting on the internet, and saying On the other hand, I thought your post was pretty judgmental for someone who was merely "trying to understand." You mouthed the fact that you were "trying to understand," but said in the same breathe, "I guess what all this 'post' a message stuff is feeling sorry for yourself, wallowing in sorrow or seeking sympathy for others."

You can say all you want that you only wanted an explanation. As far as I can see, you wanted an opportunity to make fun of a poster. You wanted an opportunity to attack. Anyone with any heart would understand that posting thoughts of memory and love opens up something inside one. It gives substance to thoughts.

Personally, I think anyone who mocks someone or even questions someone who posts about the loss of a loved one is an ass. I see no difference in thinking that people who have gone before read our minds when we think good things about them or pray to them than when we post them and hope that they see our prayer in words.

And frankly, choosing a Christmas memory thread to raise your supposed questions is really beyond the pale. If you need to discuss this, if it really is a question for you, you could choose another time. This is, like it or not, a time when many of us choose to remember our family who have passed.

I'm not going to respond to this post, but I do want to point out the irony of someone who has consistently pissed on another poster, and indeed, as far as I can see, stalked her posts, crying about the fact that there is a board rule about attacking someone.

Merry Christmas.

and you know what? It took me a few times to read what I wrote to see that I typed a lot slower than I was thinking. And words were left out and/or transposed.

I still stand by my statement that some of the posts were and are just purely pathetic attention seeking behaviour.

Did you know that even on ignore, you still see when the person you are ignoring starts a thread and the thread title? I'm sure you do, I'm sure that I've trubled you enough that you try to ignore me! I've done my damndest to ignore ILL. Even when she's posted in response to something I've posted. If,when using the ignore feature, I didn't have to even see her name I would be overjoyed.

I'm always amazed when certain posters come out. Call me paranoid, but I do think their are some alternate IDs floating around here....

__________________
Mental that one, I'm telling you. ---Ron Weasley, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"

To start at the end, I'm not a sockpuppet. I don't have an alternative name here.

As far as the ignore function, this tread was started by ILOVELUCY. You opened the thread. You responded to it. You aren't doing your damndest to ignore her, if you are posting in her thread. You can't seriously piss and moan about her posts when you have every ability to avoid them, and still get all riled about them.

No irony. Rules are rules and you cried enough for everyone on the Election board. You want the rules enforced, report yourself. It's hypocritical not to.

And how very typical of you to try and pretend that anyone is being stalked - not that you responded of course! ROFL. When you can't defend, attack - that's your motto. The misdirection chestnut has been used too many times on this board to be effective. Only an ass would keep trying it.

Oooooh, but I would have been so impressed had it been true. How special the poster must be! Not an ordinary person at all - they're elevated to being important enough to be stalked! And you think that because you wrote it, everyone will think it must be true.

You want to know the truth? I wish you would stop stalking me and sending me hateful private messages. I don't want to talk to you and you should confine your insults to me to these boards. Get a life and leave me alone. I never did anything to hurt you and I'm tired of you harrassing me.

I wrote it so it must be every bit as true as your accusation. ROFL.

Technically true - you don't have AN alternative name here, you have SEVERAL! ROFL.

OK, tell me who they are. If you are so self-confident, you surely are willing to expose all of the various names that I post under.

You, my dear, are a liar. You posted this:

I suppose you thought this was funny. I don't. I thought it was obnoxious and borderline slanderous.

In case anyone is wondering,, I never sent a PM to this poster. The fact that she is asserting that I did shows that she is a liar. She was willing to play you. She wanted you to believe to make herself seem more trustworthy.

God, how pathetic is she.

Honestly, in all the years that I have posted online, and indeed, all the years that I have posted here, I have never encountered anyone who is so pathetically seeking attention.

Opaldancing, at least I don't make things up. You are a sad, sad, sad excuse when you can't defend youself, but only make up lies.

Just to clear things up a bit, Christmas is by far the only time I choose to mention loved ones I have lost and miss and loved terribly much.I truly for one think about them especially on their birthdays, thanksgiving, the day they went to heaven, but much more then that especially my brother Sonny and my dear Mil Rose and my auntie Theresa and my cousin Maria I think of them everyday always will, they were so soooooo special and truly dear to me. A special thanks to all who left messages and a sincere prayer to all for having a Merry and Joyous Christmas with loved ones.... Peace.. Catherine

Talk about hijacking a thread!

Back on topic... I always have some nice quiet private time where I think about my lost loved ones on the holiday. I ALWAYS remember the good times.. never the bad or focus that they aren't here anymore.

Catherine.. like I answered you in PM.. I wasn't talking about YOU. Not everything is pointed at YOU. I was talking about Opaldancing and Dannyboy arguing.
And.. my saying the thread was hijacked was the nicest thing I could say

Yeah, it's frickin' hilarious. Glad you are ROFL. How can you be so disprespectful? Look at Stella posting. Her police officer husband was killed two days before Christmas, stopping to help someone on the side of the road. There are a few parents here that have lost children. And lots of other who have lost parents. There are ppl who have died of natural causes, some that did not-none too pleasant. I am so glad that your dead relatives don't hang out this coupons site and read these message boards. I wouldn't want them to be embarrassed by your rude behavior.

Good thing you're not a lawyer, isn't it? If that's your legal opinion, you would be incompetent. You would have to occupy the lowest rung of the profession - like an ambulance chaser. One that isn't even good enough to try the cases and has to handle the paperwork for the ones who are. ROFL!

I agree it's sad and hope you get some help.

But you've hijacked the thread long enough. Why haven't you reported yourself yet? Rules are rules and t's very hypocritical to want the rules followed only when it suits your purpose. You insulted other members and called them names because you don't agree with their opinions. Why aren't you demanding that the rules be followed now?

This lie is the grandaddy of all lies - and everybody here knows it. Why pretend that you only choose Christmas to mention loved ones you have lost and miss and loved terribly much? You choose to mention them in almost every post all year round - and everybody knows it. Don't you think the angels will notice such a whopper of a lie when they visit this coupons site to read these messages you're collecting for them?

To those who think this thread is silly and stupid, you don't have to read it or respond to it. Every year we have a thread devoted to those who have passed on. I've never seen this thread take this terrible turn. And I believe it's because Catherine started the thread. Had someone else started the thread, this wouldn't be happening.

So, please, stop the bickering. If you want to fuss about it, start another thread and stop hijacking this one and filling up the thread with empty posts that mean nothing.

Please?
