I truly appreciate all the words of comfort as I go through this grieving period. My husband was my dearest friend and soul mate. Please keep me in your prayers as I go through the visitation period today and the memorial and celebration of his life service for him tomorrow. I am hurting so badly and feel I cannot go through these moments. Emotionally and physically, I'm drained. I appreciate everyone of you for your support and prayers for me during this time.

    Lois,
    I am sorry to reply so late to this. I was away. I am so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine what you are going through. Knowing that he is no longer suffering helps intellectually, but emotionally you are dealing with such a huge loss. I send my prayers that God can help you get through the coming months. May the memories you created with your husband sustain you during this time.

    You are in my prayers. I wish I could be there for you and help you thru this time. We need to talk after the memorial is over. It is still a very real memory for me but you will find that you will be able to make it thru. God will help you thru this if you will allow it. Take care and try not to do too much. Take care of YOU and if you need to talk I am there for you.

    God bless you and your family in this very difficult time. Have faith. You are in my prayers.

    You can make it through it. I took care of my father for the last few weeks of his life and I was also emotionally and physically exhausted and i didnt know how I could make it through the day of the Funeral. I did make it through it but I took one of his Ativan (tranqulizer) to help calm my nerves. I probably would of shook through the whole thing if I didnt. The thing that helped me was I knew he was not in pain anymore. To see him suffer like he did I had some relief when he passed on. I know he is in a better place and I will meet him again someday.

    I am so sorry for your loss. I read your words and realize how crushing it would be to be in your shoes. When you feel that you just can't go on, imagine all of us there to hold you up. I pray that you find comfort and peace in knowing that he is no longer in pain.

    HUGS

    I am aching for you. I can't imagine your pain. Your husband sounds like a wonderful person. There are times when I am paralyzed by the sadness of my friend Marks reality and nothing seems to shake me out of it. I like Mindy's suggestion of the Ativan. Please know we are here thinking and praying for you.
