    Dear Steph, My pain is still so fresh and tender…I swear I won’t make it through another minute of the day…coming here to this site has helped tremendously…like an addict..know one knows the struggle unless you are one….unfortunately we are all connected by this horrible disease and know exactly what the other is going through…you don’t have to hide anything…just be who the dear Lord made you…we are all here for you…and when I say I know your pain…I truly do! Look heavenward and cry out to the Lord…I scream bloody murder sometimes…and give it all to God…I might have peace for a minute or two…but it is what gets me through…I can’t do it alone…I don’t even want to do it at all…but remember how strong we really are…and how our love and commitment to our loved ones will get us a moment more of hope. Em and I will be praying for you.

    Love,
    Heather

    Oh sweet, sweet lady….Emilee and I lost Lee two weeks ago and words cannot express the overwhelming sense of loss we are feeling as well…the sadness runs so deep that I myself feel like I could lay down and die of a broken heart….but please know that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is holding you so close he is literally carrying you in his arms. He is close to those who are broken hearted, weak and heavy laden. Call on Him Luluu. Nothing and I mean nothing will help your heart more than He. Em and I will be praying for you….and know that everyday…every moment…every second…you are making it!

    Love,
    Heather

    Dear Val, We lost Lee two weeks ago….nights are my worst time of day…time to think, miss him more, love him more…I was afraid of completely losing it in front of Em…so I went to the doctor to get something for the overwhelming anxiety…then I felt weak because I had to depend on meds to help me through…but my friends and family were there to remind me of how ANYONE in our shoes would be crazy NOT to get some sort of medical help….I just pray for some peace and quiet in your heart and mind…and know that I know, we all here know exactly what you are going through and what you are feeling.

    Love,
    Heather

    Sophie, you yourself are an amazing, brave and strong woman! Look at what you are going through! Lainy is right…even if you feel like there is absolutely nothing left. put on that attitude, look up into Jesus’ face and tell him you can’t do it…you just can’t do it anymore…and I promise you will find just enough hope to get you through even the next minute of the day!
    We love you and will be praying for you!

    Love,

    Dear Magic, I know exactly how you are feeling. I let my wonderful husband of 15 years at the age of 38 leave my care and into the care of Jesus just two weeks ago. The support you will find on this site is truly comforting and much, much needed. You must know that Jesus is there feeling every bit the awful pain and loss you are expierencing. When there is a day that you simply cannot do it…and I have lots…I scream, scream that I cant do this by myself and I need my Saviors help. Hold on the promise that one day you see him again. My very best friend told me something that will live with me for the rest of my life….as Lee was taking his last few breathes, I held him tight and told him….go baby, go…go baby….its gonna be okay….Stacey said….Heather, Lee is up there telling you that very same thing…go baby go! you can do it! go baby I love you. It will all be ok. Like you and many others recently experiencing loss, we know that sometimes words, deeds, nothing seems to help…but I will say that the love and support from people who are living with this pain do know and we are here for you.

    Love,
    Heather

    Oh sweet, sweet girl, you are so right…when I held Lee’s hand on this past Friday as he took his last breaths, I told him that he had been victorious and he did WIN…just like your beautiful mother, they NEVER gave up, they fought a very courageous, brave battle that I believe only a true fighter could have fought….and I can promise you, you are so very right when you say that one day again you will be with her….as Lee left to be with our Savior, I didnt say goodbye….I whispered we would all be ok, and go help Jesus prepare our room in the mansion because we would be there sometime soon. You are so brave yourself…and just know that God is holding you right now, His heart is breaking right along with yours…and you will make it through this and win just like your mom.

    Love,
    Heather

    What joyous, blessed news! Our Emilee was just four ounces bigger! I remember the look on my mom’s face when she saw her….and what they share today is the most incredible relationship between two people I have ever seen! What a wonderful, wonderful time in your life Sophie….ENJOY!

    Love and smiles,

    Tess, thanks so much for the tid-bit of information…my husband complains about this often…actually so much so that he favors really, really sweet things…not much nutritional value, but nevertheless it’s something! We will definitely give the lemon a try!

    Dnicetry…almost a year ago, I wrote a similar topic as yours…never thought this would happen in a million years…a year later we are still fighting to win the battle my husband is fighting against this monster. I must say…when Lainy says this is the best little club ever…she is soooo right. It is a WONDERFUL place to come to for anything you might need. The people are amazing, wise and very, very supportive…the day my husband was diagnosed, my very best friend found this site for me…and I’ve been addicted ever since…wishing you all the blessings God has in store for you….welcome, welcome, welcome!
