Thank you(7)

I’ve shared less than most, however I gained alot of knowledge and peace from this group. 

My dear husband Paul passed away peacefully at home on Saturday the 28th. 

He was on hospice since early May.

You guys and gals made me laugh and cry but mostly I felt understood. 

I also made several good friends along this very sad journey. 

Thank you all

    Please add my sympathy....becoming a widow is hard regardless if it was expected. Many of us are here in stage 8 to help.

    Thank you all for your condolences. I do find peace in knowing Paul no longer suffers, however the empty sad place is being dealt with one day at a time.  The funeral and family strife is behind me. I am blessed with wonderful children, grandchildren and dear friends.

    mommom8, thinking of you after the loss of your dear Paul.  Stage 8 is that stage after your loved one has passed and it is a stage where you will begin to deal with your loss and hopefully with time move forward and heal.  Blessings and prayers sent your way.
