Joan, I am so sorry. You both have fought a long difficult fight, but our good Lord in his infinite wisdom has better things for Sid in heaven. It's going to be hard but all of us are standing behind you with our thoughts and prayers.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Road ahead will be difficult but you are a strong woman and will be able to maneuver well. You have been a terrific example for me as I just trudge along day to day.
Dear Joan, I feel your pain but the grip of this horrific desase has at last released your Sid. I'm praying for God to give you the peace to face the days ahead.
Joan, I am so sorry for the great grief you are feeling. Your journey taking care of Sid has been a long and difficult one, and you have been a true warrior. I will pray for you to keep strong over the next days and weeks. Kathy

I am so very sorry for your pain and loss. Aloha to your darling Sid, and we will be here as best as we can to shower you with love. Remember to give yourself some time to adjust, try not to do anything major but just recover and remember the love that you have had, a love that can never go.
My sincere condolences on the passing of the greatest love of your life. Oh my, how fortunate he was to have you as his advocate. You fought a mighty battle. Please take some good care of YOU in the days to come.
Joan, I've been playing around on the computer & for some reason you came to my mind. I came to the blog & there I saw it - the reason you were on my mind. I'm so, so sorry for the loss of your Sid. I pray for your comfort during the difficult days to come....
Oh Joan. I know how you feel, when Jerry passed I couldn't bring myself to post anything. I just updated my profile name to include the date of his passing. My heart and love go out to you. Maggs
Joan, I am crying and crying trying to type out a reply to you..... There just aren't any words to express the depth of sorrow I feel for all you must be going through. I am so very sorry ..., ((hugs))
Joan, I am so sorry for your loss. We placed our husbands the same time and they passed about 6 weeks apart. We are all here for you. I am so grateful that finally your burden has been lifted although I know how difficult it will be for a while.
Dear Joan, You were so kind to all of us when we lost our LO's, ... I only wish I could do even more for you. You've been through so much and we all understand the numbness in your body right now. I pray that your sister and Joel will be there soon and they can take over all the details and you can just 'sit'. I was on auto-pilot for about 2 weeks.. and cannot remember much of anything during those days. It's ok. Now, it's all about YOU, my friend. YOU! Know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Nancy B.
After reading so many things that you have written about your marriage and about the love the two of you shared, I truly believe that if your beloved Sid, from back before he was sick, could be there right now, he would put his arms around you and say: "Joan, thank you for loving me so much. You have been absolutely amazing, caring for me so well. I love you. I'm sorry you had to go through this with me. I'm so proud of you. Now please take care of my Joan for me. Rest and heal. I want you to be well and happy."
We want you to be well and happy, too. You deserve it. We are all here for you. If there is anything we can do, please let us know. I wish you peace and comfort as you go through these very difficult days.
I am so sorry, Joan. Heartbroken and numb describes it best. We all understand. You have been a shining example of the true meaning of love and marriage. Do whatever you need to do to get through this a moment at a time.
Joan- My deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy. I am so very sorry for your loss. Although the pain and frustrations of caregiving are over, the pain changes and turns to grief, but in all that sadness, there is a big difference: HOPE. You are in my prayers Joan and wish you peace and comfort.
