My father has just died. His name was Peter Roy Jorss. His own father died of suicide when Dad was 12 years old. He took us all round the world. He built bridges. My mother rang to let me know and the call was eight minutes thirty one seconds long. He is still lying in his bed and my little cat is guarding him.
Dad.

Though I only connected with you today on Facebook, I am sorry for your personal loss. Who can explain the magic and mystery of bonds between pets and people. Your post is one of the most poignant things I’ve ever seen on Facebook.

that’s just beautifully kind, Dale, thank you so very much
she always guarded him most ferociously when the stranger Blue Care nurses came by. They weren’t always that careful of his frailty, though some were lovely.

Love and sympathy to you and all your family.

My heart hurts for you, Cathoel. May good arms hold you and heartfelt words console you in the days ahead.

My love and condolences, Cathoel. It feels strange to say that I sit in the very chair my father, Roy Lee, passed away in suddenly of a heart attack. Nearly a decade on, I have dreamt of him several times, lately, in a way that makes me sure that we never lose such loved ones. At no time had I been so completely lost in the universe– is it?– than when he died. My heart goes out to you. Grieving takes as long as it takes. Please, my friend, do what you need to do for yourself <3

Your recent time with your Dad was a beautiful gift. The memory will carry you forward along with all the others and for him would have been a tremendous comfort in moving on. My love to you, your Mum and siblings. A sad time, but so many happy memories that can never be taken away. Bless your beautiful cat for seeing him on to the afterlife. Much love. Marilyn. X

Wrapping you up in so much love now Cathoel. I pray your grief be soft and kind and contain much beauty dear one and may your beloved fathers soul soar free ????
-
I don’t have all the love to mend your sorrow, but I hope I have enough to tell you that your sorrow is placed in my heart – my heart knows sorrow. From my heart to you is the love that I can share with you to honour your father – may his spirit journey well, may he meet his ancestors with joy – may his own father speak word that transcend all the tragedies – may your father’s sorrow be no more. This is an important time for you my friend to learn about grief, loss, love and honour.

My condolences Cathoel, you had said that your recent visit was effectively to say ‘goodbye’.

I am so sorry for your loss. So glad that kitty is keeping a vigil.

My dear Oel. I’m so very sorry to hear this. I send you and your family all my love.
Today is actually 5 years ago since my dad died. I hope they’re somewhere together having a beer ❤️❤️❤️
-
Very very sorry Cathoel.
-
sad news…. take care
-
I’m sure he was very proud to be your father. His generation probably didn’t say so often, if at all. He would want you to acknowledge the loss and love you had for one another and then get going again knowing the important things in life are the people.
Oh, and your little cat. -
Oh love… My deepest heartfelt vibrations of loving respect… So good to know you had time with him recently, though perhaps it’s never enough. Thoughts of peace and guided freedom for his onward journey, and yours in his wake… Much love ♡
-
And hugs through the ethers of course ♡

Darling Cathoel ….may all the words of your friends and family everywhere be of comfort to you and provide you a soft place to land…loving you hard right now …Bless you and your darling Daddy Peter xx

You know I know what it is to loose a father, as mine died only two months ago. Your heart is in my heart, I will sing the low songs of grieving with you. I will smile the smiles that only memories can induce and feel the hollowness as well. You are brave and compassionate, gentle and loving and it is now we need to depend on ourselves the most. In my mind, I will hold you in my arms and let you know you will never forget but you will learn to live your Dad as a memory and as a feeling inside.
-
My condolences Cathoel, hope to see you soon so I can give you a hug.

That would be lovely, bella

Thank you Vera. I was just looking at the photos you sent, of everyone at the farm. It was moving to me a couple of years back to sleep in the bed your father had slept in during his last illness, gazing up through the glass shelf into the empty pewter helmet he had worn.
Give Marlyse my love. x

So sorry for the loss of your Kantha (Father) Cathoel. We lost our Father almost a year ago now & it has been pivotal for the island community here but also for me as I decided to return to (sea) country where he was born, lived most of his life & inevitably left this realm. We now travel the 80 odd km as many weekends as we can to our traditional homelands at the (opposite) eastern end of the island and we’re always blessed by our time there. I always think that it’s in part to Kantha Bunbadgee (White Dove) blessing us. Often with Indigenous Peoples we respect the spirits by not using their names unless family wish it so in honour of your wishes; Kunartha (Lardil farewell) & Long Live Peter Roy Jorss!
