    Hi everyone, I have not been to this website in quite some time, things had turned quite bad in the last few months and between working and trying to care for my husband and children I was overwhelmed with responsibilities.

    My husband William died on the morning of October 1st at the age of 58, I buried him on Sat October 5th, I was able to keep him home until the end which was a blessing. Even though he was ill I did not expect him to die so soon, I guess his body was just tired, I knew him close to 30 years, I do not recall much of my life without him. He was a kind man who gave me two wonderful children. This disease robbed him of this mind and then his body but it did not take his soul. I hope hes at peace and his body no longer hurts, and he can forgive me for all the time that I was impatient ., that some days it was just to much and sometimes I would get tierd. There is a empty void in my heart . I loved him and I will miss him,
    Good bye my dear William.

    Oh, Chelly, my heart aches for you. You gave all you could, cared for and loved him until the end - and after. May you find some peace now, as he has. Bless you.

    Chelly, I too am so sorry for your loss of your dear William. We all get impatient-it's a hard job and emotionally wrenching. Be kind to yourself...he knew you loved him and took great care of him.

    Dear Chelly,
    As a very recent widow myself, not yet two months into this new life, I understand how raw this is and the feelings you express about your regrets for not being more patient...it may well be a normal feeling as I too share that with you. I send you my deepest sympathy as you begin to try to become adjusted to this new state..it is so hard..but you did a wonderful job caring for your DH and he knows that. And you were with him at home loving him to the last. Get some rest now...it is amazing how tired you must be feeling now...take care of yourself and and surround yourself with those who love you most..Blessings and Peace. Mimi

    I am so sorry for your loss, yes he was very young. I lost my first husband at age 52, it was very sudden, I didn't have to go thru what you have been thru. You did the best you could for him, he knew you would, you have a whole new world ahead of you. Bless you and your children.
    Love Bonnie
