My name is Caren (Hunt) Forbus.  My father and I both worked with Jarred at Viskase and I went to school with Jarred at Wynnewood.  My dad (Reece Hunt) had a really good time working with Jarred and they had many laughs together during those long night shifts.  My dad died just over 2 years ago, and I have a feeling that they are together again and enjoying a good laugh. 

 

I lost a son more than 12 years ago and my dad 2 years ago, I know this pain you must be feeling in your hearts.  I also know that people will tell you it get easier with time.  I disagree.  I believe that we deal with better over time but the pain is always there and always hard and heavy.  I have learned 2 very important lessons about grief.

1.  Embrace and let it be.  Don't fight the pain, let it in and then let it go.  Feel the pain and then feel the love.  I know this may not make sense right now, but I hope that someday it will.

2.  Don't let anyone tell you how to grieve.  We are all different so handle the grief and the pain in the easiest possible way for you.  For me it was by pouring my every ounce of energy into consoling others and handling any paper work that I could find.  For you it may be to drive to the country and just SCREAM.  No matter what it is, do it and don't feel guilty about how you feel.

 

My love and thoughts and prayers are with you all right now.  I live in Tulsa so I will not be there in person, but know that my spirit covers you and God has you now, and will get you through this.  Take comfort in God.

 

All my love,

Caren Hunt Forbus

We are all so sorry for your loss.

Loss of a loved one is a horrible thing to go thru.

We are here if you need us, We will be thinking of you all.

We were so sad to hear of Jarrad's passing. As you know, we lost our son in 2000 (Travis Roice Beaufeaux) & a parent should never have to bury their children. I know from experience how very painful it is. I wish there were words to comfort you at this time but words escape me at the moment except to say how sorry we are. You all will be in our prayers. If there is anything we can do please don't hesitate to e-mail me.
