My husband passed away just after midnight, January 7.
You have all been so supportive through his illness, and I wanted to let you know.
There is so much I could say, especially about the last six weeks, but the words seem to be stuck inside me.
Maybe later I will be able to get them out.
For now, please know I am okay ... sort of. I have already grieved so much in the last nine months.
I have plenty of support from family, friends and neighbours.
I can still hardly believe he is gone forever.
He was a good and kind and smart and funny man. I miss him so.
Oh Jenny, I am so sorry. You have all my sympathy, love and support. I've been thinking of you both so much recently. I can hardly imagine how you must be feeling. I am grateful to hear that you have support from family, friends and neighbors. Give yourself all the time you need and take one day at a time. How I wish I could help you. I wish I could give you a big hug but I guess it will have to be a virtual one. I care. xxx

Thank you, Doug.
DeleteI'm so sorry, Jenny. I think I understand about so much to say and the words being stuck. Really, every other thing is insignificant in the face of him being gone so how does a person write those things?
ReplyDeleteAs you say, maybe later.
My very best, warmest hugs are coming your way.
