Donna,
I was so sorry to read about Jim’s death. I am happy to know you and the girls were able to be with him and share and say what you needed. He sounds as if he was an amazing man and it’s obvious how much he was loved and how much he loved in return.
I am a firm believer in Hospice and they were so wonderful when my Mom was dying.
These next days and months will be hard. I’m finding the journey with Grief is one of the hardest things I’ve ever dealt with. You will find a strength deep inside of you and you will make it, but it will be in your own time frame.
I will hold you and the girls in my thoughts and prayers.
hugs to you all,
Pam
Dearest Donna we are so very sorry to hear that Jim has Passed but that he passed in Peace surrounded by his loved ones is a Blessing. I am a true believer that someone’s Spirit is all around and one day you will feel and know that. I have a poem I love and am sending it to you in hopes it helps just a bit:
If I should be the first to go,
And leave you alone, My Dear,
Let not your heart be lonely,
Nor in your eye a tear.Grieve not for me, my darling,
I’ll not be far away,
With petals of love and tenderness,
I’ll pave for you the way.To join me in our sanctuary,
And ne’er again we’ll part,
Grieve not for me, my darling,
I live within your heart.Take joy again in living,
As you did in years gone by,
God knows of what He’s doing,
And not be questioned why,Grieve not for me, my darling,
My life with you on earth,
Each moment filled with happiness,
And love so few be worth.I’ll be waiting for you Sweetheart,
Where skys are ever blue,
With eager heart and open arms,
Patiently for you.Grieve not for me, my darling,
May faith and my love keep
Your soul filled with contentment,
Eternally I sleep.On Saturday my Jim passed on. He had a sad few days before his passing. He was at home with me and our girls. We had the help of hospice which included a 24 hr nurse for these last two days. There is not enough words to express our thanks to them for keeping Jim pain free and helping us to cope. When he passed even the nurses were emotional, so nice to have that kind of sensitivity
for a greaving family. We had the time to show Jim our love and he was able to tell each one of us how much he loved us.
These next few days will break my heart even more than the cancer Jim suffered with for the past 7 months. It is so hard to live with these next few days. But
we will take each hour one at a time.With heavy heart I thank you all. Donna
