Anna, I just want to tell that you are the most lucky person that i (don’t) know . . . you know why ?

You have lost your mind, and thus don’t need to deal with reality.

Perhaps it’s time for a visit to Shutter Island?! Or perhaps learn a some basics about science and what scientists know about life and the post-life.

Let’s say you have been typing a blog comment, or writing a paper in a word processor only to hit the wrong button or have the power go out and lose all those thoughts that you had written? Well guess what . . .

Here’s a hint about what happens when the power supply to your brain shuts down for good sweetie: ” ” <—
As you may astutely assume (since you are alive and thus have a working brain and living spirit), I purposely left the spaces between the apostrophe blank to demonstrate that there is no afterlife, beyond the legacy you leave among the living.

Enjoy it and cherish while you have it!!!!

Lisa, My heart goes out to you too. My husband went to work on July 6th, 2009 just like any other morning except he asked me to walk in our vegetable garden with him that morning. I am so glad that we did take that walk. At 10:30 AM I received the worst phone call one can receive. The ER docotr stated Junior had a massive heart attack or had passed a blood clot. I never saw him alive again. I know it is not easy whether you know your loved is dying or you have no idea it still hurts so deeply that you wonder if you will ever get over such a drastic loss. It is like part of you has died too. I had heard of the term “heart break” but never understood how one’s heart can actually feel like it is breaking but it can and I have felt the actual physical sensation of heaviness, emptiness,and numbness in my chest. But it will get easier, hang in there and know that you have so many people lifting you up in prayer to our Lord. May you sense the peace that only the Lord can give you. May God bless you and your family.

Today…this moment is all we are promised…life is uncertain…it changes almost as often as the tide ebbs. Grief is like a deep thick fog that settles over your soul, you feel lost and alone unable to wrap your mind around the loss that happened in a moment. They were there, talking, laughing, holding your hand, giving you words to help you go on after they are gone and then deafing silence. How does one cope with such emotion and loss? My heart goes out to you, I would that there were words to console. My hope and prayer is that you will find shelter in the storm in the arms of Jesus, He will hear your hearts cry, He sees the tears and the agony of your heart and soul..I hope that Partick knew Him…I really hope with all that is in me that he did.

My fantastic husband died in June 2008, after battling pancreatic cancer for 27 months, so I understand what you are feeling, Lisa. I draw strength from our Creator and endure because I know I will be with my husband for eternity. I pray the same for you.

Lisa, our nation has lost a great performer, but you have lost so much more. I lost my husband of 26 years in September, 2003 to esophageal cancer after only a 5 month, 8 day diagnosis. My heart and prayers are with you. I didn’t know him personally, but you get a since from the performer, and he was beautiful. I will continue to pray for you and your family forever.

I lost my husband and soulmate of 34 years on the same day…I know what Lisa is going thru…the emptiness, the panic attacks, the overwhelming feeling that your life is over. Friends are helping.

So very sorry for your loss. How nice if you were able to see these heart felt comments about Patrick. I would love to be able to communicate with you since my husband has pancreatic cancer too. His is also in his liver and bladder. We’ve known since Feb of 2009 and would like to know how Patrick was able to do the work he was able to do this past summer. Many prayers were said for Patrick I’m sure and I ask that prayers were also offered for my husband.

My daughter and I met Patrick on an airplane flight once about 20 years ago. A flight from Seattle to LA, during that filming of that hockey movie he had done. He spent the flight conversing with us. It struck me then he was a very special man. He seemed so genuinely happy and kind, so very “real,” one of those really “good” people. First time I had ever met a movie star. He helped us with our luggage outside, and waited with us, still enjoying talking with us, till my brother, running late, finally picked us up. It was so surprising to meet someone so famous, but it was so refreshing to meet someone so kind and genuine.

Lisa, God Bless You. The first time I saw Patrick Swayze in The Outsiders, I knew there was something extraordinary about him. I have followed his career and the wonderful spiritual connection the two of you had. He was a gentleman and very much a “real” man. Please know that even if we have never met, I know what it is to loose that one man who made the mornings more alive, the evenings magical, and everyday a blessed time. I pray for your strength in this time, and for the quiet of soul that remembering your love will one day give you.

I have followed your story, having grown up a big fan of Patrick and Dirty Dancing, my heart aches for you. I lost my 6 year old daughter (Chelsie) to liver cancer, so I know loss. But to have the kind of relationship that it appears you had, I may never know. I have been married and divorced several times and it’s just not in the cards for me, at least right now. I am a happy single parent of a 14 year old daughter and love our life, but again sometime I ache for what might never be. To have someone to build your life with that truly loves and cares about you, well what you had, most people don’t.
Better to have loved, and lost, then never to have loved at all.
Painfull as it is, it has been 13 years for me, it is the hardest thing I’ve every endured!
All my love and prayers to you…:)
