"In the night of death, hope sees a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing." ~Robert Ingersoll

She will be deeply missed. God will bless you with rest cause that is your next assignment from heaven. Don't be a stranger here on the poster boards because there are many here who are still facing this step of their journey and your experiences will help others thru this very difficult period of life and as we all know it comes with all kinds of life challenges. Please allow us to join you tonite and share your grief. May God grant you peace and rest now. Bruce D *
I am shedding tears as I read this thread. It really hit me because I had a scare recently with my spouse. May you find strength in the wonderful memories of your Dear Wife.
I remember how you were so scared to take this last trip with her, but now you have proven that you did have the courage and strength to follow it through. May your personal growth and discovery continue because of this experience, not in spite of it. Jim
I am so sad for you and your family at this terrible loss of someone so dear. Her suffering is now over and I wish you peace and strength in the days ahead. Arms around. You have done a wonderful wonderful caring job throughout this journey and are an example, as is Pharnque, for how to carry our own tasks with grace and love. Blessings.
I am sorry for your loss, these have been difficult days, she is free and I know God is saying "well done". May the hole in your heart be filled with His loving presence. I will be praying for you.
4 am and I am still replaying some of the stuff in my head. I am staying in a hotel and I think it would have been better to stay at home this night. I guess you are never really prepared for this event. It is so intense hours upon hours of emotions as you wait for them to give up and head to a better place.
Bob After reading your last post I can relate to what your feeling and I know that while right now every thing is raw and new, time will bring you thru it and feeling it right now will allow you to get thru and not be mired in this grief. God be with your and your family. Bruce D *
moorsb*..Gord has been gone 16 weeks tomorrow. I replay each day in my head. I go through the day I called 911, the days in the hospital, the last full day and tomorrow, I will relive the morning that he died and at 8AM, will feel the loss again. I think it takes a long time. Let us hope that all the prayers from this site will help you along this new journey.
moorsb, I am so very sorry for the loss of your beloved Sandra. She is at peace now and truly is your guardian angel. I pray for you that God gives you the strength for the difficult days ahead.
Bob , I haven`t been on this site for awhile, so sorry for your loss, glad you stayed with her, i didn`t get the chance to stay with my Bob when he passed, I got a call afterwards, God Bless you and your family ,take care of yourself now she is in her fathers hands
My deepest condolences to you. Your wife is finally free from the grip of Alzheimer's Disease. I hope you find solace in the good memories before AD and take time to heal.
Bruce - one thing this site has done is bond us together as family. Even after a journey is over, we still think about all of you..we can't help it. We were there with you through the journey - cry with you, pray for you, and rejoice in each positive step you make forward. Years ago I read a Christian book called 3 steps forward, 2 steps back. That applies to so many areas of our lives.
A beautiful obit for a beautiful woman. Heaven is shining brighter. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Especially tonite during the visitation and tommorrow during the service.
I just saw the article about your beautiful wife..gorgeous eyes..you can see clear through to her joyful soul...such a lovely creature to be struck down so young with this terrible disease. I know you are going to miss her so. Take comfort in knowing you have one of the most beautiful "angels" looking over you until you meet again.
