    Shortly after the original

    Shortly after the original post Jim's breathing started to change and he breathed his last breath soon after. I believe his spirit left before the last breath because I felt the most awful pain in my heart. Even though I thought it would be a relief, it was devestating when the nurse said, "He's gone."  I say, "Gone from my sight, but still in my heart."

    So Sorry for your loss

    Debbie, so very sorry for your loss, I only came in late 2013 and see that you joined mid 2011 - through all that you and Jim have been through together here, I noticed that you had time to respond to others as well - what a beautiful testimony to love for one another and those around you that you also had room in your heart to help, advise, cheer and console.  Thinking of you and Jim "in your heart" forever.

    My condolences

    Debbie, many heartfelt prayers from my family to yours. Following the last month of your posts you are one very strong and loving caregiver and spouse. I cannot imagine what you are going through but know Jim had the best care any spouse could give.

    the only prayer I will say before I lay down tonight will be for you.

    So sorry!

    I'm sorry to hear that Jim passed but it sounds quiet and we know he's at peace now. I've been thinking of you, and you and Jim will be in my prayers tonight.

    Prayers for Strength...

    Love you Debbie.... Jim is gone physically, but will be in yours and our hearts forever..., as will you.

    Thank you John. As I told

    Thank you John. As I told Tim, spend every waking moment with Shelley and cherish the simplist things she says and you say to her as you won't know how much you wish you would have when she is gone. You will never be able to understand the pain and heart ache you feel when she is gone. I thought I would. I thought since I had great faith I would be able to be a good witness for faith in Christ at a loss but you can't it is humanly impossible.

    So sorry to read this

    Debbie

       You have my hearfelt condolences. Your comment that you think his Spirit left his body before his last breath is very likely true. The Soul never dies, and may never actually experience the death of the body while within the body. This is consistent with years of research I did in my younger days for reasons of my personal experience following the 16+ days I was "gone" after an accident when I was 13. Of note, many religions believe the Soul has the option to stick around for a few days as a way for said Soul to find closure with those in the life he/she has just left from. Jim might very well be still with you, Debbie. Let him comfort you. All the weight of the world with his C and it's suffering is now gone, and he's the Jim he was in the best of times. He will comfort you, and help you thru this time.

    Believe

    Thank you  my CSN family. I

    Thank you  my CSN family. I find great comfort reading your post and also responding to others post. I have asked God all week what my purpose is now and who can I take care of. Maybe helping other cancer patients will help with the healing. Debbie

    So Sorry

    Lord,

     Be with Debbie's deceased dear one and with those who have so loved Jim in this world.  Guide him to the light of Your eternal rest and peace, and console those of us who remain with Your strength and love.  May all of us use this difficult time to become a source of support and comfort for one another. 

    Amen.

     

    Debbie we send our sincere condolences.

    God Bless
