Dear Hans,

Thanks for sharing this. Although I never met Kris or you in person I feel I know you both so well. There is nothing I can say to easy your pain, just know that I am thinking of you and hoping you can take comfort in knowing how much Kris has meant to so many. She will be greatly missed. Take care of yourself now Hans and know that we are all here for you.

With Much Love & Lots of Hugs,
Darla

Lainy,

I agree with Marion and Pam. If you are comfortable leaving it on and it brings you comfort then that’s all that matters. And yes, it is also a good idea from a security stand point.

Janet,

Thanks for posting this. I too am so sad to hear this. She was always so positive in her approach to life. She will be greatly missed here by all of us.

Dear Joanie,

I know nothing can ease your pain and sorrow right now, but just know that you are not alone. My story is much like Katie’s. My husband passed away 7 weeks after his first admittance to emergency. He was 62 and never had any health problems before this. As Katie said, you don’t even have time to absorb the fact that this has happened and they are gone. It is all so hard to accept. I take comfort and I hope you can too in the fact that at least they did not suffer for a long time and are now in a better place with no more pain and suffering. Your Mom will always be with you in your heart and memories.

Take care Joanie and come back whenever you need to. Even if it is just to vent your feelings. It does help. There are a lot of good people here willing to listen and help and support you. I found this site a few days after Jim passed away and it has really helped me to stay strong and keep on going.

Thinking of you and your family and hoping for better days ahead.

Love,
Darla

Oh Margaret what next! Sorry to hear about your latest set back, but I know you are strong and will carry on as you always have. I am glad you have a neighbor willing to help out with Tom if necessary. Don’t try to be too strong, take the help that is offered if you feel it is needed. You need to take care of you too so you can keep on doing your best for Tom. I will be thinking of you and hoping for the best, what ever that can be.

Love & Hugs,
Darla

Tommyguns56,

You also have my deepest sympathy and understanding. My husband was 62 and died 7 weeks after his first admittance to emergency and only a week after they definitively diagnosised it as CC. I came here a few days after he passed and I highly recommend you stay with us. The strength and support I have gotten from all the caring people on this site is what has kept me sane. When it happens this quickly, you really don’t even get a chance to wrap your mind around it and they are gone. I have been told your thoughts and feelings can be similar to those with post traumatic stress syndrome. Try to remember your dad the way he was before all of this happened and know that he is now in a better place, no longer suffering or in pain. He will always be with you in your heart and memories.

Please come back often even if it is just to vent you feelings. It will help and we are all here for you.

We were told it could have been there for 30 or 40 years. Silent & hiding.

Hans,

Thanks for the update on Kris. I think of you two all the time. Lots of love & good thoughts being sent to you both.

Love & Hugs,
Darla
