Miss B-Bunny Bass

Szark

Awesome
I am so sorry to hear this. I have communicated with Bunny ever since we were both on Dreamlight and that was some years ago, probably 15 years. Then we grew to have mutual respect for each other when we were on the original DAZ3D website, you know the fun one. :) Even though I don't hang out here much I will still miss Bunny. May she rest in peace with god.

@Szark was that the dream light forum run by the vendor who did lighting? If so I was on their for a while also. I still have a texture for V4 that I did for one of his challenges. I started using Daz in 2005 iirc along with MattyManx and Neil. We all used to post renders over on Canadian Ice's forum. I really miss that forum it was such a friendly place. Sickle used to hang out their also. I also remember a much happier forum over at Daz. Now it's all about promoting more sales.

I'm really glad to see you post...

@Pendraia yeah that was the one. Jack Tomalin was there too helping us newbies out. I did learn a lot from being there at that time. Bunny was always there ready to help when she could. We had a lot of folks like that on the old forums too. I started using DAZ around 2009/10

I have no interest in the DAZ3D forums my last post was around when my wife passed away four and a half years ago.

Thank you and it is good to see you still around.

Yeah I stay away from toxic environments, not good for the soul.
Thank you for the kind words and after withdrawing from anything online for over four years it is nice to see kind and beautiful people still around.

@Szark, so sorry to hear about your wife. The last 4 years I've mainly been looking after my parents but both are no longer with us. They lived into their 90's and had long happy lives married for 73 years but I miss them. I'm just glad I had the time to spend with them. It's hard when we lose someone we care about.

Thank you Pendraia. I am sorry for your loss and commend you for taking care of them. My mum is still in New Zealand and my sister had to arrange a home for her as she now has dementia and from what my sister said it is probably the best place for her as she has perked up since being there. I just wish I was back there.

Losing Chrsitine at the age of 68 I would say it has been the hardest thing to bear in my 61 years, yes she was 11 years older than me and we spent every moment of the 27 years together, we worked together too. One thing I am extremely grateful for, is that in those 27 years we laughed everyday barring 7 days, 2 of those was at end. I nursed Chrsitine though the cancer at home until the end.

I am so incredibly sorry for the loss of your beloved Christine. The bond you describe is truly rare, to work together and live together for 27 years and still laugh almost every single day is a beautiful testament to the love you shared.

True love don't know numbers .
My husband is 12 years younger than me and we are about to hit our 9 years together.
Wishing you peace as you carry those beautiful memories. ❤️

It's hard when our parents get older for so many reasons. I was lucky that I was close by and able to be there for them as they were so often there for me. It must be hard being in a different country.
Mum passed in her own home in her own bed at 92 which was how she had wanted to go. Dad unfortunately got covid last year which fast tracked dementia unfortunately so he needed 24 hour care so the last couple of months he was in a nursing home which was very good. They called him the singing sailor as he would walk around singing.

It's so hard to lose a partner of many years. Dad had that problem they had been married for 73 years. You were very good to look after her and nurse her until the end. So much I'd like to say here but it's hard because talking about Dad is still recent and I get emotional about it. I'm sending you a virtual hug because sometimes words just aren't enough.

@MEC4D thank you, like I said kind a beautiful. Oh I treasure the good memories and try not the let those last weeks ruin that.

@Pendraia yeah after MEC4D's post I had to take some time to the let the emotions pass before I could reply. It's been 4 and half years and it's like it happened yesterday so I totally understand and given this thread is about Bunny I think we should leave it there.

I was never a hugger, its my autistic side but boy if could I would give a you a big hug right now.

Szark, my deepest condolences to you for your loss. That relationship seems more of a soul mate connection, it's always hard to loose a piece of yourself that you cherished so much. ❤️

@RAMWolff Hey nice to see you still around and a heart felt thank you.

I haven't talked about this for years as most folks think I am bat crap crazy but apart from the emotional grief, it affected me physically and that sent me on a whole esoteric rabbit hole and learnt that every single cell in our bodies have memory and if you live closely together for a long time our cells seem to harmonise with each other and that severing can lead to all sorts of physical manifestations. You could say how did the Yogis knew this thousands of years ago but from what I experienced I believe them.. Case in point when Christine passed away we were in the middle of Covid restrictions so the funeral was only 20 minutes long and fairly early in the morning. She wasn't cremated straight away. At 14.38 that afternoon I had feeling go though my whole body, a feeling I have never felt before. I don't know what made me think of phoning the crematory but I did the next day and asked what time Christine was cremated and the reply was 14.35 on the day of the funeral. According to Yogic science there are several stages of death and cremation promotes the final stage. And this is where we really get weird, 9 or so months later I experienced the exact same feeling. That was the last time it happened. Everyone said it was grief and that it meant nothing. But they don't meditate, they have never questioned their reality but I know with my gut and heart that it had to be related due to this harmonising cell frequency.

Yeah I have been on seeking journey since.

Folks that are atheists think those of us that are 'tuned in' are nuts but there are unseen energies that flow between all of us and quite frankly from life time to life time. Folks gonna believe what they want to (or in nothing at all I guess) but tell me this When my grandpa expired in the hospital he came to me and told me he had passed away but not to worry he would be keeping an eye on me. As my grandma and mom came up to the front door I opened it and told them "Grandpa came to me in the back yard and told me he had passed away" they were ... literally.... mouths agape and my sister, who was calling me a liar just looked at me (probably thought I was a freak or something). After I had relocated to California from Florida, my home state, I was on the bus one day going to this bookstore called Keplers, it was really cool. They had a coffee bar right in the bookstore so you could get your favorite beverage and then go and look at or read books, lovely set up, I miss that place to this day but they closed up shop a while back. Anyway, here I was on the bus and my Grandpa's voice came into my head and he told me he was finally moving on to his next adventure, that he loved me and I would be OK. I burst into tears and was just a mess the whole time I was at Keplers but it got me over to the metaphysical area and bought a couple of books on it. So yes, we do have very powerful connections to our loved ones. Some move on right away and some choose to stay and watch over their family for as long as they can. My heart truly goes out to you because a connection as strong as you and Christine had/have is powerful and yes can leave the one behind in a state. Take good care of yourself. Cherish those times with her, hold her in your heart and know she's there in spirit. ❤️❤️❤️
