    Deb,

    You and yours are in my prayers. Very sorry to hear of your loss. My Mom & John have planned a "Celebration of Life" as well. I think that is a wonderful idea. Listen for those Harley pipes rapping in the breeze. Sending love and prayers.

    Late condolences
    Deb,
    I'm so sorry that I haven't been on here much lately, but I felt so bad when I saw that Bob had passed away. My heart breaks cause I know how much these days are going to hurt you. I thought I was losing it when my hubby died and felt like 1/2 of me died.
    I know Bob appreciated everything you did for him.
    Please take care of yourself Deb. And again I'm so sorry that I'm late.

    Thank You All
    I keep coming back to read all your posts over again, ot seems to help start my day off in a better place. Thank you all AGAIN for all your support. I am going to try to go back to work tomorrow... Yes, I know it's too early but between losing my Mom and my husband so close together I have no more paid sick days or vacation left to use. My financial picture is unsettled for now although I think I will be OK later I have to make the bills coming at me for now.

    I will personally post under the "Emotional" or "Berevement" side to do my venting from now on. I will still read the "Caregiver" side because I think I have learned so much from my husband maybe there will be someone I can help along.

    I write about family and keep a journal.

    Peace To All,
    Deb

    CIB
    My friend (who lost her son to suicide) and I used that as code for months - "I have a CIB meeting, can you cover my class for a bit?" (we nicely overlapped our prep-time, so we could usually cover each other's classes).

    CIB stands for "Crying in The Bathroom" - you have privacy, TP and a place to wash your face afterward.

    I'll check in on your posts and will be thinking of you,

    Sorry
    I am so sorry for the loss of your wonderful husband. I lost my grandmother on May 23rd and I am having a hard time also. Just know that people are here to support you and to talk when you need us. I hope that you will keep posting here on caregivers as well as the other sites.
    Love to you.........

    Dear Deb and Family
    May I send you all my deepest heartfelt sympathies. You all had a long, hard, journey. Now you can all finally rest in peace. The fight is over. Bob is now no longer suffering or in pain. You will see him again....and he won't have cancer! God bless you all and keep you. May he give you the strength you will need in the upcoming year. Please keep in touch. We need you here!
