    Ashlea,
    I am in tears writing this so I will try to be comprehensive. Help your Dad to cross over. Whisper to him that everything is okay and it is okay for him cross to the other side. He can still hear you and feel you. Touch him, pet/rub his arm and let him know the Lord is waiting for him. When my husband was in hospice I would climb into bed with him and tell him to release and continue his journey to heaven. Prayers of comfort for you and your family.
    Peace,
    Karen

    Dear Danielle,
    Your words so hit everything I felt in March and still feel today. Somedays the pain is so bad I truly feel I could just lay down and cross over. I long to share emotions and touchs with Rob and knowing that I cannot gets totally overwhelming. Sorry…I don’t mean to go on about how I feel when this was intented to help you feel better knowing that what you are feeling and going through is where so many others of us are at also. Enough of my ramblings…prayers of comfort for us all.
    Peace,
    Karen

    Dear Stan,

    Prayers and condolences. This is indeed a hard journey and the memories haunt for a long time. They say in time only the “good” memories surface. Be strong.

    Hi Heather,
    Wrapping my arms of comfort around you and Em; saying prayers in the hope that you both find the strength to come through this terrible mourning (although I know it will not be any time soon). I so empathize as there is a giant hole in my chest also and the mention of Rob’s name does the same for me. Know you are not alone and cry whenever you need to. I do and I know I have gotten some strange looks depending on where I am, but I really don’t care. Rob and I had loved each other many years and had a very emotional two years prior to his passing. We all deserve the time to mourn our losses. Hoping that you find some joy in your heart and that the hurt starts to abate.
    Peace,
    Karen

    Hi Pam,
    So very sorry for your loss. I can only imagine the shock you must be in. My husband passed in March after fighting this monster for about 17 months. I guess we were more fortunate because we had the time to discuss the short future we knew we had together. His end came quicker than was expected and I am still trying to process all that has happened in the past two years. My heart aches for you as you digest all that has happened in such a terribly short time. Wishing you strength and remembering you in prayer……
    Peace,
    Karen

    Dear Pam and Tess,
    I can so empathize with both of your letters. My husband stepped out of this world in mid March and I cannot come to grips at all. I try very hard, but my heart is so very heavy. I too feel that Rob has tried to let me know in subtle ways that he is watching. I pray he is. There has not been a day that I haven’t cried (or talked to him). I truly wish that inner joy would come back, you know, the joy of just seeing a beautiful day or feeling a gentle breeze. I knew grieving his loss was going to be hard, but I never dreamed it would be this painful.
    Peace,
    Karen

    Dear Carol,
    I write my condolences with mixed emotion. Knowing Charlie is now pain free and at peace is a comfort. Knowing how your heart aches makes me very sad. I pray for you and your family as you go through this horrible grieving process. Please take care of yourself.
    Love,

    What a lovely tribute to your father. I know the pain that is in your heart. It seems to increase as times goes on which really surprises me as I thought the days would get easier.
    Prayers of peace,

    Dear Sarah,
    I want to extend my heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. I am not able to breathe yet either as I lost my soul mate and husband on March 13. I know the terrible path you are on and only wanted to let you know you are not alone. Prayers of comfort coming your way.
    Peace,

    Amanda,
    My husband did not qualify for the Liver Transplantation for Cholangiocarcinoma clinical trial, but perhaps Aime will. Following is the link for the trial…http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00708877. I pray he can become a candidate.
