Does anyone know how the Page Family is doing?

[Stepharoonie!]

Haven't seen them in a long time...wanted to know if anyone knows how they are. Hope they're doing well!!

 

[dclwdwlover]

Been thinking about them a lot lately, myself. Hopefully, someone will know & update us. Andy, are you listening????

I've been wondering about them also...

Add me to the list of concerned DISers. I'm hoping that Easter wasn't too difficult for them (as holidays usually are).

The grief following the loss of a child, especially one that has been very ill for long period of time, takes a whole lot out of a person. I am not surprised that the Page family is taking their time grieving and readjusting their lives. As bereaved parents they will never "get over" the loss of their son, but they will slowly gain strength as their grief eases.

God bless them,

Rae

Thank you for asking about us. We are doing as well as can be expected after losing a central figure in our lives. Some days are good and some not so good. Nashua misses Nathan very much (as do we all) and talks to him frequently. He has created an imaginary friend to help himself deal with his grief. Nick has let school go down the drain for a few months. Which is hard to see because he has worked to hard to get into the honors classes that he has. But, he seems to be getting back on track now.

We all catch ourselves daydreaming about Nathan and still find that it is hard to concentrate on what we're doing. We not only miss Nathan's physical presence (his feel and his noises) but his habits (feedings every 3 hours, changing diapers ) as well. We still catch ourselves looking at the clock and wondering if it's time for a bottle. This is the longest we have gone in 6 1/2 years with out holding a "baby" and our arms are weak from longing.

It's going to be a year of firsts for us...our first holidays without Nathan and with Easter just behind us we realized that it's going to be terrible. So in anticipation of his birthday and how lonely that will be, we have given some thought to trying to take a Disney cruise over that day. The big problem is that his birthday is June 28 and that is the busiest cruise time, so the prices are really high. We are looking into it though so we will keep you posted.

Thank you all so much for thinking about us and praying for us. Please know that even though we don't post that often anymore, you all are never far from our thoughts.


By the way, Peter I am so sorry about your loss. We love- We grieve, no matter if the one we loved was a human or a pet. I'll be praying for you and Jen.

It's nice to hear from you.

You have endured so much, yet taught so much.

You're still in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks for starting this thread Stepharoonie.

Thank you so much for taking time to update us on the family. You are in my prayers that the days, weeks, and months ahead will be full of less pain and more joyful memories.

 

[EmmasGrammy]

Thank you so much for the update. I can not begin to imagine the sorrow you all are experiencing. Please find strength in knowing so many people are praying for you and your family. What an impact that little fellow had on so many lives!!

The quote under your signature really touched my heart. I'm going to do a needlepoint sampler with that quote for my oldest DD who is about to make me a Grammy again in three weeks. Thanks for sharing that!

We will continue to hold you in our hearts and prayers.

Dear Page Family,
I am fairly new to this board and recently came across your story. Every emotion from such joy and happiness to such grief and pain overcame me. Also, the love that came across from so many strangers was overwhelming too! I would like to add my prayers to all the others out there, that you all find the peace and comfort our lord has to offer at this most painful time in your lives. God Bless You.

 

[mobetsy]

Good to get an update from you...thanks. There is no way around, only through; I simply pray that you have good companions who will hold your hand along the way.

Dear Eric And all the Page family,

Thanks for the update.

There are thousands out here who keep you and "our" Nate in our thoughts everyday.

That look of joy on his photo from CC last year is forever in my mind. The sunglasses and wry smile were perfect.

I will never look again upon CC as DCL's private Island. It will forever be "Nate's Place"

Dear Page Family,

It's nice to hear from you again.

You've been in my mind each time I've logged on to the forum for the last month. We suffered a miscarrage about a month ago, and while I can't begin to compare your loss to ours, I fully understand when you say We are doing as well as can be expected . It sounds like you too been caught off guard by the times when you suddenly realize the pain is greater than you had been allowing your self to realize.

Love, hugs and prayers,

Joseph

Thank you for posting an update about your family. I have often thought about you in your sorrow. Time will help ease the pain but thoughts of your dear little boy will always be in your hearts. Your little student will come back strong, too, after time, you'll see. Best wishes for all your family's good health and safety going forward.

Dear Page Family -

It is so nice to hear from you. I know it sound like an echo but you are still in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks for checking in with us. Let us know if you decide to cruise again soon.
