Finally at peace

in Colorectal Cancer #1

After a long hard fight right to the very end my husband finally decided that it was time to let go and go play with our beautiful yellow lab that put down a couple of years ago. He went gasping for every last breath. Until his body had decided he had enough. It was difficult to watch him go that way but now he is at peace and no longer in pain.

Thank you all so much for all the kind words and comfort you have offered me during this difficult journey.

        I am so sorry. It is never easy at the end but sadly it sometimes neccesary to travel the full road to the end. When someone is snatched away from life suddenly we often don't understand. When we see them fight tooth and nail to the very end we are ready for them to have peace at last. I wish you peace in your time of loss. Ron.

    So Sad For You, Sandi

    My heart goes out to you. Although my husband's passing was fairly peaceful, my daughter's was not. Somehow none of this seems fair considering the great battle each fought.

    Peace to you.

    Luv,

    Wolfen

    Prayers

    It's so hard to find the right words. They seem so hollow. Please take the time to care for yourself. You've been so strong and supportive. My prayers that you find peace and can feel the love and support of those around you.

    Suffer

    his suffering is over.  When possible go & do something you love but couldn't do because of your husband's cancer.

    Lots of HUGS

    You were a wonderful wife to your DH

    and I'm sure that he knew and appreciated that.

    I so wish you could have had more time together.  Life can be very unfair.

    Sandi:

    I am so sorry for your loss.   I know the horrible pain you are in right now and the difficult days that lay ahead for you.  Please know that others who have traveled this path truly understand the heartache you are experiencing.  You will smile again, laugh at a TV show, look at a precious picture and smile, it will take lots of time, but it will happen when you least expect it. 

    If you need anything or just want to vent, send me an e-mail.

    Again, my sincerest condolences.

    Hugs - Tina
