Another Silver Screen legend passes away.... Cry

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/07/07/entertainment/main561901.shtml

(AP) Buddy Ebsen, the loose-limbed Broadway dancer who achieved stardom and riches in the television series "The Beverly Hillbillies" and "Barnaby Jones," has died, a hospital official said Monday. He was 95.

Ebsen died Sunday morning at Torrance Memorial Medical Center in Torrance, said Pam Hope, an administrative nursing supervisor.

Ebsen and his sister Vilma danced through Broadway shows and MGM musicals of the 1930s. When she retired, Ebsen continued on his own, dancing with Shirley Temple and turning dramatic actor.

Except for an allergy to aluminum paint, he would have been one of the Yellow Brick Road quartet in the classic "The Wizard of Oz." After 10 days of filming, Ebsen, playing the Tin Man, fell ill because of the aluminum makeup on his skin and was replaced by Jack Haley.

I know - so many of the greats. I loved Buddy Ebsen. I am so glad he lived to 95. I never knew that he was the first tin man in the Wizard of Oz.

Yes, it is sad and we shall miss his smile on the screen, but wil have him forever in the movies he has made.

What is it with all these deaths from famous people?

What is it with our relative, friends who have died in the past 3 months? Enough already!!!

My cousin who is 3 weeks older than I, had cancer for the past 3 years and died while we were in Maui. We had not been close in the last years for he moved to another state. However, we talked at least every week. His wishes were to be cremated and scattered on a lake. A freidn of his did everything. None of the family was there. When we returned on April 24, I called to check on him and got a recording, then called another cousin who told me the sad news.

Folks, do any of you know how it feels to not have closure with a loved one? Our whole family is feeling this sorrow, for we've always been close, as our Mothers are from a family of eleven children.

In may, a family friend died, he was my best girl friend's Dad and grew up with my Dad. Very close friend.
Two weeks later a girlfriend my husband and I went to school with died from cancer.
The next week a man we went to school with died of cancer.
Last week another family friend passed.

Four memorials in 5 weeks are way too many. Then we hear the organist from our church died over the weekend of a heart attack. She played the organ for many brides, including myself and our children to walk down the aisle.

Enough deaths, we wish everyone a safe, healthy summer.

I sure do...I carry the guilt of my dad's passing with me always. Mom and Dad decided not to spend money on life insurance for dad so they decided a long time ago against my wishes to both be cremated. So I never got a funeral which is what I need to feel closure. I also was called the day he went into kidney failure which was a Sunday nite..he had been slowly slipping away all day and it wasn't till 6pm that nite that my mom finally got told that he was dying so she called us. I called my boss(different one than now) and told her I had to go to my dad and she wanted me to stay and work part of the day Monday to make sure they were all set. I told her to fire me..I was bawling hysterically and the only thing that kept me safe that ride home was a promise to mom to stay in the speed limit. I arrived and he woke up long enough so I could tell him I loved him..and he repeated it back to me (it was the first time we ever had said the words to each other that I ever recall) He slipped out of conscience and we sat with him till Tuesday morning ..only leaving him long enough to go to the bathroom and once they forced me to leave to go eat lunch on Monday. A good friend of Mom's is a nurse and she sat with us a bit Monday nite explaining what all the machines were and how to read them. We realized that he was drowning in the fluids they were given him. He also was very agitated everytime they decided to change him or his sheets..so we asked Janice if he could just be left alone..she said we had a right as his family to request that. His vitals did not change the whole nite so the next day I began to worry bout my furkids and my SIL wanted to take a shower so she talked me into running home. My mom lost all her ability to argue with anyone and when a nurse came in to change Dad..she allowed herself to be kicked out of the room so she could do it even though we had given orders for it not to be done. He grew very agitated and no matter what..mom couldn't calm him down. It didn't help that my hand was no longer holding his...he would grow upset if I left him and I couldn't get my brother to take my place...well either brother for that matter. In the end..he just wouldn't calm down and he died very hard..I have always regretted leaving and will carry the guilt with me always. I did get to say goodbye..I got my own time to cry holding him after the fact...but I feel like I should have been there for him at the time. However, I do have a grave...I visit it as often as I have time for..and I sit and talk to him a lot..his cemetary is a beautiful peaceful one and the neighbor has a granite bench that is beside Dad's grave so it is very peaceful to go and talk to him. I guess that is why I'm in every doctor's face and so much a part of everything that is happening with mom. I can't handle any guilt involving her care or her death.

It is so hard for us when there is a death of a loved one. So much that was unsaid or undone or unfinished comes back to us. That means we loved that person very very much. that is what is the most important. The rest is truly in God's hands.

Dar I am glad you got to hear your dad tell you he loved you. I bet he wanted to for a very long time. I still find it hard to tell my dad that all on my own. or my mom. I will do both as soon as I next see them. My dad tells me all the time that he loves me but this is something new, in the last few years. I am so blessed to have a Dad that could do this.

OK now I am crying tears of sadness and that is OK too, those tears are for all of you. Luci I hope that you will be able to find something that will help you bring closure. Dar, I am glad you have a place that you can still go and be close to your dad and have such very special memories of him.

Addams..you have no idea how hard it was. I remember giving him a card once that said how Fathers and Daughters both love each other but sometimes just can't seem to say the words. My family was not a touchy feely family and we never voiced that we loved each other..no hugs..nothing...

I had a special man come into my life once upon a blue moon ago who used to jump all over me about not telling my parents I loved them..told me that he and his dad had never said it and he regretted it when he died. He used to harrass me everytime I saw him asking me if I had told my parents that I loved them. When I saw dad lying in that hospital bed all yellow...I ran to him and hugged him and told him I loved him..and he came awake just enough to say it back to me...I will always treasure that. If I had arrived any later..he would not have said it and I would have regretted it forever. I have enough regrets when it comes to Dad...I needed to hear him say it even though I knew he did love me. If anyone is a country music listener..Reba's "The Greatest Man I Never Knew" is my song...it makes me cry everytime I hear it cause it was SOOOO Dad and I.

Mom and I still don't hug on a constant basis but we do make more of an effort these days to hug now and then and to say I love you. It is hard when you are not brought up with it though...it took a long time of having touchy feely friends to even enjoy being hugged...now I can hug special friends but for a long time..I waited for friends to hug me if at all...

Dar - Most of us have experienced the deaths of family and friends - some with, and some without "closure". I'm sure Addams has too. Luci recently experienced this, big time.

I think you need to realize we DO know and we DO have an "idea" how hard death of loved ones affects all of us. Sure, death is a "part of getting older" - as you said. What about parents who lose their babies to SIDS? All I'm trying to say is - birth is wonderful, death is very sad; but, more importantly, the period in between is what really counts!

Sounds like you are still really beating yourself up emotionally over your father's death and the fact that you weren't there. I hear you saying the same things a lot about your mom, and fears about not being there for her. I know I mentioned this in another thread Dar, but it's worth mentioning again here. You really could really benefit from some grief counseling. Being this miserable is not something you have to live with, and it is something where you do have choices and can get help for. You're not a weak person for recognizing you have more pain than you can reasonably cope with in your life right now, and choosing to get some help. As many of the posters here in our forums who have sought help will attest, it makes you stronger. I think you are going through more right now than you reasonably need to, and you should consider talking to a counselor. They have some wonderful new therapies for dealing with grief and trauma that don't require medication (if that's your biggest concern), that are so very effective. My mother works with children who have been in the worst abuse situations and has a great success rate with using these new techniques. So, I've been hearing quite a bit about them and how they work. You'll find I am a big advocate of getting help, and counseling as a result.
