Garv passed away this morning after having a dreadful week. Our children and I are grateful his battle is over as he was being tortured the last couple of days. I am blessed with incredible kids who put their lives on hold for these last days...our son spent every night with him in the facility while our daughter and I were there during the days. We joked about another "family affair" as all four of us were in his room. We had just moved him to a wonderful home last Friday...very sensitive staff took care of him to the end. He was always the early morning person, and went out on the same note.
You have earned your * for such loving and dedicated care for all these years. It has been a difficult journey for both of you and your family as well. I guess you could say Garv " did it his way" as the song said. He is a peace and now it is time for you to find peace and comfort in knowing you did the best you could. Sympathy attends all.
Kathi, heartfelt condolences to you and your wonderful family. I'm so glad they were able to be with you and Gary during his final days. Take comfort in the knowledge that his journey is over, and he is at peace. God Bless
Kathi, Sorry for your lose,but happy for your husband is finally done with this dreadful disease. He is in Gods hands now -whole and well and at peace. Prayers and love to you and your family.
kathy37, it pains us to hear of yet another loss here, but know in the good sense its good he has been released from the pain of this horrific disease. take care of yourself now. peace and love divvi
This is a horrible disease and I am so glad that his suffering is over and you can now rest in the fact that everything is fine now and I am glad that you had your kids with you and I am sure that they will continue to be a great comfort. Take care of yourself!
Kathi, my sincerest sympathy upon your husband's passing. Think of what you shared, the life you had before this ugly disease, the simple joys and the love that connected you. Those feelings and memories are just for you to recall and as time passes may they ease your sadness and help you find peace.
My thanks to all of you for your caring thoughts..we are doing just fine. My "kids" are just incredible, and i now have to shoo them away a bit. My SIL's family are the most caring people ever, and each of them have been in contact with me..from Japan and Germany. We have a close family, and I am surely feeling it now. It isn't that they weren't here before for support..they were, but spread out a bit. We are in a good place now. This forum as been my life saver as it has for others.thank you Joan and everyone.
I am also sorry to hear of this horrible loss but rejoice in the fact that your dh is not suffering any longer. Will be praying for you and your loving family..... May God Bless and Keep you in your time of sorrow....
kathi, so sorry to hear of your loss. I know, I went through it just 2 weeks ago. The one thing that keeps me sane is to know that he's in a better place and in better health.... he remembers everything. Don't be surprised when grief overcomes you at the oddest moments, and the tears flow. Everyone tells me it will take time to adjust. God Bless you and your family at this time.
Chris r, after my mom passed away, I had to avoid stop lights. a stop light let my mind work for a minute or so and I would always burst into tears. Your so right about "grief overcoming you at the oddest moments."
Kathi, so sorry for your loss, I haven't visited for a while and can't belive that so many people have passed. you are in my thoughts and prayers at this time.
