Marty--my deepest condolences...somehow it breaks my heart to realize that no one survives AD....except for the caregiving spouse....I will keep you in my prayers.
For all who believe there remains a psychic connection with our loved ones. I received a call informing me that Sue's ashes will be delivered to me today and a time was agreed upon. Shortly thereafter I got in the car to run an errand turn on the radio and the first song: Coincidence or communication, does it really matter?
"I'm Coming Home" [Chorus] I’m coming home I’m coming home tell the World I’m coming home Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday I know my kingdom awaits and they’ve forgiven my mistakes I’m coming home, I’m coming home tell the World I’m coming
Back where I belong I’ve never felt so strong eh feeling like there’s nothing that I can’t try and if you feel me put your hands high, high, high, hey and if you feel me put your hands high, high, hey
Joan as you know there is always a debate in a Jewish family over cremation v burial For me, I know I made the right decision, That being, cremation. Now the two of us can to be together. as we were in life. When shadowing me which she always did, Sue would be terrified when I was out of sight. No such fears ever again. I've been awaiting this moment, not with trepidation, but with great anticipation. In spite of the tears, and they are not tear of joy, but the do possess a modicum of happiness I am now at another level of the grieving process with Sue back at home with me.
