to say how sorry I am.  You did such a great job of taking care of him while balancing the needs of your kids and everyone else in your family.

It's just so so so unfair that he couldn't have stayed longer.   The world can be a bitterly unjust place at times.

We love you, Jen.

I am so sorry, Jen. everyone should have 'a Jen' at their side...you have been amazing.  You and your children are in my heart and prayer during these very difficult days. Life certainly isn't fair but I hope the way forward will be full of consolation and blessing.

 Hugs, CM

sending you and your children love at this sad and difficult time. Through the years I have witnessed your strong love and incredible support for your husband and children through every challenge presented to you. Lighting a candle now for you, your loving husband, and your children. Peace ~ Cynthia

I am so very sorry. I wish there were words that would help in some small way but there is nothing I can offer. I pray that you and your family will find some sort of peace. I'm sure you will all find comfort in each other. What a lousy thing to happen, I feel terrible for all of you.

If you want to be angry you should go right ahead, embrace it. You've all been dealt a really crappy deal and anger is certainly appropriate. When cancer took my mom and I didn't want to wake up my daughter who was 8 years old I'd wait until she went to bed and then I'd yell and scream into a pillow. Then I'd punch it a bit, too. It helped. But the truth is that nothing does, not really.

Sending you a hug. I'm just so sorry.

I am so very sorry for your loss.  I am sure that the presence of you and your children during his last days was a comfort to your dear husband.

You and your family have had to deal with way more than most in the last couple of years.  Because of that, I urge you to seek out the bereavement counseling in your area...here our hospice had a program for adults and one for children. 

May each day be a little easier for you all.

Hugs,

I'm so sorry.

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well from which your
laughter rises was oftentime filled with your tears...
When you are joyous, look deep into
your heart and you shall find it is only
that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful look again in
your heart, and you shall see that in truth
you are weeping for that which has been
your delight. ~Khalil Gibran

What a lovely poem! Thanks for sharing. I always think of that Garth Brooks song The Dance. The part where he says 'I could have missed the pain but I'd have had to miss the dance'. It's so true. We hurt because we loved and were loved. It's the price we pay for it.

Jen,

I am so very sorry for your loss.  Your husband passed in a very loving way.  Your family sounds wonderful. 

Cancer really sucks and makes no sense ever.  Please take some comfort in the fact that he is no longer in pain and will always be with you watching out for your family.
