    Dearest Pam,
    Thinking of you and sending you love. I lost my beloved Jim 22 months and 1 day ago and I just am finding it so very difficult. I hope that your precious memories are giving you comfort. Listen to your mom’s voice inside your heart, it’s there as she is with you.
    THank you for your beautiful post, it is such a comfort to have people who have walked this road and understand.

    Dear CM,

    You’re doing all the right things and I am glad that you went to the Doctor!!! There is so much practical advice on this board which will make direct improvements, i.e. with appetite etc.

    The best medicine is hope. My beloved Jim and I maintained a solid hope for his survivial and it made our days together so very precious. Prepare for everything but live with hope, rather than fear.

    The best advice I received from a friend (who I thought was crazy at the time…) was although these days are sooooo incredibly stressful and you may feel insane with fear, enjoy every day, as difficult as it is. It’s great you’re going on this trip and I hope that you ahave a WONDERFUL trip.

    Sending you lots of prayers and good, healing energy.

    I am so very sorry to hear about Kris. She was extremely supportive during my beloved Jim’s illness. I thought she would live. I am crying for her but know that she is at peace.

    Dearest Gavin,
    you are such a beautiful person and your Dad would be (is) so, so proud of you for tackling your own grief head on (which is quite difficult, it’s much easier to bury, drug or drink it away) and also recognize that your mum is really suffering.

    My beloved Jim died 18 months and 3 days ago and it’s not any easy although I am ‘coping’ just fine (i.e. i work, remain healthy and do the right things). On the inside I am a mess and living is very tough. Sooooo….I can identify with what she’s going through but I would think it would be tougher, i.e. she is from a different generation where ‘feelings’ are really spoken about so openly so the suffering on the inside is probably almost unbearable. I think you’re doing all the right things i.e. showing her how much you love and care for her. If she uses the internet, she might want to look at some of the support sites for widows, http://www.ywbb.org is really good.

    It sounds like you’re doing all the things that you can, just hang in there. Christmas will not be easy this year but it can be special and meaningful, with lots of tributes, stories and precious memories about your dad.

    Biggest hugs to you,
    Danielle

    Dearest Lainy,
    I am so, so sorry to hear about Teddy’s passing. At the same time, he is no longer suffering and he is still with you. Love never dies. These coming months will be very difficult I imagine and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You were with me during my beloved Jim’s battle with this cancer and Teddy’s fight gave us so much hope.

    Thinking of you so much.

    With love,

    Danielle

    It’s so tough eh. I had a similar experience. I was cycling in NY around 1000pm, winter and got into a very bad accident (broke my helmet…) I lay on the ground, injured, no one came to help. I eventually got up and made it home. My face was white with the salty tears i cried so much. I’ve never felt so alone – rather – been so aware of how alone I am in this world without my beloved Jim. I often think I could die and no one would notice for days, weeks who knows, who cares.

    I am so so sorry to hear about the loss of your mum. This horrible, horrible disease. Your beautiful mum, you were so good to her during her illness. What comfort this would have been to her. I know that the presence of Jim’s children (and me) throughout his illness and in particular during the last days gave him such peace.

    I hope that your wonderful memories of your mum give you some comfort.

    Thinking of you,
    Danielle

    Thank you so much for the words, it’s so so tough without him. He was such a beautiful man, I loved him so much.

    I am praying for all of you. You are all such an amazing group of people, fighting this horrible disease or supporting someone impacted.

    Thank you for being here for me, it means so much to me.

    Love, peace and prayers to you all,
    Danielle

    Dear friends,

    I still visit this site regularly and feel comforted to see the familiar names. I am having a very, very tough time – the pain has not alleviated and living is very difficult. I am functioning okay I guess but life is meaningless without my beloved Jim.

    I pray for all of you and will always be grateful for the support that you all provided during Jim’s battle with this horrible cancer.

    Dear Gavin,

    This is not a messge that I wanted to see. I am so, so sorry about the loss of your dear father. Thank God he passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones. Indeed, this is a blessing. My beloved died in my arms as you know and his peaceful passing is of enormous comfort to me.

    I wish you peace in the coming months and hope that you find comfort in your memories of your father. You spoke so highly of him and were so, so good to him. He must feel so blessed to have had such a wonderful son.

    Dearest Pauline,

    I am so, so sorry about your husband, Anthony. It’s sooooooo difficult isn’t. It sure sounded like he was a beautiful man and you loved each other a lot. My beloved died 51 days ago and I feel like I’ve been ripped from a beautiful, happy life, had my arms and legs cut off and flung into hell. I miss my husband soooo much.

    The tribute you wrote to your husband is beautiful and so touching.

    Sending you hugs,
    Danielle

    My dear friends,
    Thank you so much for the words, which are both meaningful and inspiring. Such good advice and how comforting to know that I am not alone. Something must have worked – I had a period of approximately 5 minutes today where I actually thought that I might survive this, i.e. I felt hope that I may wish to live, at some point in the future.
    Thank you all

    Hi Charlene,
    I am sorry for what you’re going through. I am also in hell with the loss of my beloved Jim. There is a really good support blog for widows – YoungWidow.org. It’s great – tons of support.
