Stage 8 Tributes

To Rick and others in stage 8.

May you find comfort knowing that you were loved and appreciated by your LO, even though communication of such may not have been apparent. May the angels guide you one step at a time as the days come and go. My heart goes out to you. My dad once said to me after my mom passed away, “She will always be just a thought away.” That is so true!

Since all of us will reach stage 8 at some point in time, and if you feel up to it, maybe you could write a tribute of your loved one so we might become more acquainted with your sacrifices and unconditional love that you shared.

    Thanks for this thread. Would you consider posting in the other caregiving forums and remembering those we have lost?
