Oh sweetie, feel my arms around you during this painful time. You've earned your Purple Heart for being wounded in this most dreadful battle and your Star. Wear them with pride knowing that you were a loving, caring compassionate caregiver. Moving ahead is slow and painful, no candy coating here, but we have been through the worst and now it's baby steps forward, sometimes one step forward, two steps back. You will survive, we all will, even if we don't want to. You are not alone, you still are a part of the strongest group of people I know, here at Joan's Place. We love you. Arms around, Susan*
As He walked with you and carried you along this long arduous path, now may His Peace enfold you as you say this last farewell. Craig is in a better place now, and you can know, deep in your heart your efforts on his behalf defeated the ultimate goal of Dementia. It did not take his identity nor his dignity, because he will always live on in your memories.
Peace be with you and your family now and in the coming days.
I am so sorry for all you have been through and for your loss. I lost my mom to this disease and I was so torn during the final days of not wanting her to suffer yet not wanting to let her go either. The pain was deep for a long time. Now I face the same thing again with my DH. So I do understand and send a big hug your way. I wish you peace.
Thank you for letting us know. My love and prayers go out for both you and Craig. May you have peace and blessings as you know that you fought the good fight.

I am sorry for the loss of your dear Craig, and as much as the heartache tears at your very being, please know that time does heal the pain, but you have to be patient and grieve in your own way, in however much time you need.
Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your dear Craig. Listen to all *'s here....there are a lot of them as of late. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers, Peggy.
