All Comments on 'A Proper Goodbye'

This is so charged with emotion. It is well crafted and hits all of the right words for maximum emotional impact. OF all your stories, I like this one best. I think it is wasted being hidden in this group of stories. It deserves better. You did a marvelous job conceiving and executing. Thank you for posting it

Powerful. Thanks.

I used up a box of kleenex.

very powerful

all i can say is WOW

Ditto "wow!" Very moving, romantic story. Well done.

have only just discovered this story,and it is one of the most moving that I have ever read.Anyone who has a heart and a soul should read it.

I'm in shock, but it's a very good feeling! Thank you for sharing!

I am 80years old and hope and pray my wife of 59years we can go together.I will never forget your loving and sad but uplifting great story.

I am so impressed with Anon in USA. I am "only" 67 and have been with my wife for 43 years and it is so much my wish that we leave together. At least her before me as I do not want her to go through that lonely period that your heroin did. Loved the story.

The Essence of life on Earth... All of these stories you authors write about concern "Love" in the abstract. This one was about "Pure Love"! We need some of these to properly understand the hurt, pain, and joy of all relationships! This is "MY" reason for loving happy endings no matter what the story plot... I guess that I am an old romantic like a lot of these special commenters that have learned the real meaning of life! Love is all you can take with you...

I have read this story a few times and loved it each time. But..there is one line in it that bothers me. That was the last sentence. The son had to call "his 3 half siblings." This would mean that Grebs went on after Kersen's death and had a pretty good life with another man and had 3 more children? So why not spend the afterlife with that man? I would have liked it better if the son had to call his 3 step siblings. Not a big point. Still liked the story. Jim

Difficult to type with the tears streaming down my face.

Thank you.

Such an emotional and powerful story one of the very best not only on Lit but of any story I've read of any form anywhere, if any story deserves 10 stars this one surely does.

Thank you so very much for sharing it with us

And it is still one of the best on this site...

but not that tough! Tears are falling....Thanks for the vine!

Well what can one say about something like that. Amazing. I don't normally cry about a lot of things, but that, that had them pouring out of me. I just want to thank you for this amazing story.

You could a warned us - damn it -

Not where I thought that was going - but it was beautiful -

Thank you -

It's a read.

Lovely piece, of two souls very much in love. I had tears in my eyes when I finished.

I guess miracles can happen. One question. What of the three half-siblings father?

I hope you can stick around a long time. I for one will never tire of reading your works.

I don't usually read stories with supernatural elements. I can't find fault with this one. I can't even finish it. I'm so overcome with emotion just starting page two, even while I write this comment. Let me just say, well done.

Beautiful. Five stars.

New to Literotica and just read this. I realize the story is almost 11 years old and the author has not published here in five years, so this may be a waste of time. Nonetheless, I can't help but wondering if the auhor meant "step-siblings", instead of "half-siblings"? That way, there could have been some sort of relationship for Gebriele other than her conceiving additional children. For example, some years-long illness for Gebriele that caused Kersen, Junior, to be placed in a foster family's care. That would make the life-long love story flow better.

Simply fabulous, but it's not nice to make a grown man cry.

...and still I am emotionally "loaded". I think the best complement an author can get is: Your story caused emotions in an intensity that I have seldom felt. Thank you. 5*

What a story. This was simply beautiful. This was True Love. Thank you for such a fantastic story.

Absolutely loved it.

Now you went & made me cry. Absolutely loved it.

Powerful

Wonderful story!! Young love at its best!!

Most definitely belongs in “Romance”. Ke-rist, the love the two of them share.

Wow! I saw it coming and still cried. Very well done, I gave it a 10 in my heart!

one of the few stories here out of the thousands (yes three zeros) I have read that caused me to tear up so bad that the page was too blurry to read, it's too bad he stopped writing. he has a rare gift for storytelling.

OH WOW, Allergy season tonight. This is rated a half box of kleenex by my personal tearjerker story rating system. Thanks so much for pulling me back to sanity after reading SO much crap that is written now a days on Lit. Kudos for such a stunning tale!!

Cheap trick tearjerker. 5 stars.

Could have been really good but it kind of went off the rails, eh? Should have been in the Syfy category? Certainly lousy theology - if for some reason they were actually allowed in heaven, they wouldn't be married there. Kind of wasted a good story with the fake spirit stuff.

Sweet sad poignant and very worthwhile. BardnotBard
