Len, so sorry for your devistating loss, I cannot imaging losing one of my daughters. Even though we have never met I do consider you a friend.

Ten years ago my world was turned upside down by the sudden loss of my wife. At the time I was finishing up the rebuild of the 396 from my red SS. I didn't open the shop door for four months. At six months I found the will to finish it up, and then moved on to other Chevelle projects with new passion.

My point is, lean on your family and friends for support, take time to heal, and in time you will find purpose again.

Again, so sorry for your loss.

Len, I know how you feel, I lost my son 26 years ago. Everyone mourns differently for me praying, talking about my son and remembering all the good times helped me, also getting back to work helped. I can tell you as time passes it will get easier. I know I will see my son again. Like Bill said lean on you friends and family.

Sorry for your loss
Bob

 

I want to thank each and every one of you that posted or sent me messages or emails. The support, kindness and prayers are greatly appreciated as I try to go forward. The loss of my daughter has devastated me. I appreciate the friendship.
Thank you!

 

My God Len, I just read the latest news! My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. I do not care what anyone says, there is NOTHING like losing a child. You have many friends and admirers'. This is where you will need them the most. Take their help when they offer. Sometimes it is all they can offer and most are sincere. You will need lots of down time and talking. Take it. Get back on the project as soon as you can as it will be one medicine that you will really need and one that will help. May God bless you and your family.

 

Len, I offer you and your family my sincere condolences. May she Rest in Eternal Peace...

 

That is terrible news, Len, and I cannot imagine the pain you are in. Let your friends here know what we can do to help you.

My Dad passed relatively young, when I was 36. He was my best car buddy, so I did not turn a screw on anything for about 3 years. I can tell you the longer you wait to get back into the swing, the harder it is to get going again. So try to make yourself go out and tinker on your toys now and then, even if for just an hour.

You will never forget or get over your loss, but eventually you'll come to realize that your Daughter would want you to be as happy as you can be under these circumstances, by spending time doing the things that you enjoy.

Thoughts and prayers are with you. Jeff

 

The outpouring of care, kindness and support here has overwhelmed me. I can't express how much it means to me. It has helped me more than you'll ever know. So many wonderful members here. Thank you!

 

I am so VERY sorry for the loss of your beloved daughter, Len. :crying:

 

So sad... I just cannot imagine the heartache you must be feeling... I will keep you and your family in my prayers...

 

Len, I was very excited to see that you were posting something, I figured it was about the car, reading your post about losing your daughter was a total gut punch.
My Dad passed away at 61, 12 yrs ago. My Mom's Brother just passed away last Monday morning. Don't play the I should a done this, or could a done that game. Peace comes when we think about things that are lovely, honest, just, anything that's good, think about those things.
I'm praying for you and your family.
