Bev,

I am so sorry about the loss of your husband. I wish there was something that I could say to ease your burden, but words just seem trite at this time.

God bless,

Scott

I am so sorry for your loss.

Sorry for you loss, seems so minute at this time. I lost my husband in March, 07 (non cancer related). Everyone said it would get easier. I have learned that it just gets different. Know that he is in a good place and you have a special angel watching over you. Be sad when you need to and be happy when you can, hold on to all the support you have around you and you will survive.

God bless you and yoru family.

Bev, thank you for letting us know about your husband. I am so sorry.

This must be a hard time of year for you now--all I can do is send my condolences and hope you have people to help you through your time of grief. Warm wishes,

Barbara

Bev - I am sorry. I wish there was something magical any one of us could say to east the grief and pain you must now endure - the only silver lining is that he is no longer in pain. Be good to yourself - I can't imagine how much pain this disease brings to caregivers - but if it's anything like we as patients feel it's miserable - so be gentle to yourself - you did everything you could. He loves you and HE (GOD) loves you too.
