Dear - I am so sorry and grieve with you in your loss. Your

husband was so young and it happened so fast it is hard to take in. You

must be reeling. And your children must be in shock too. There are no

words to say what needs to be said. I will be praying for you and your

family.

May God provide you strength in the coming days.

Words cannot express the pain you feel or how my heart goes out to

you at this time but please know that you are in my prayers and I do

believe that God will hold you in His arms and carry you and your

family through this devastating loss.Back when you first wrote the

group,you said your husband had been your very best friend for most

of your life,I understand that feeling,as that is how I describe my

husband,it's what has made our marriage the fabulous relationship it

is. Yes, you will miss him,but I also believe that he will still be

there,in spirit,to support you, when you need to talk,at the

important times.The love and friendship you have shared will give you

the strength to go on.

Come back to the group for support any time you feel the need, we

will be here.

Hugs & Prayers,

, I am so very, very sorry to hear about the loss of your

beloved husband Max. Words seem so inadequate but I hope you will

find comfort in knowing that he fought a good fight and you were

right there supporting him ever step of the way. May God give you

the strength and courage for the difficult days ahead and may your

memories of the love and live you shared with Max bring you some

peace and happiness.

, Max may be gone physically but his spirit is with you. It is

always

hard to lose someone you love,but true love stays,helps you in a myriad of

ways.

When you see a raindrop sparkle, a rainbow glow,receive a butterfly kiss or

the

stars shine really bright,you know they are like candle in the night. You

hold on to

the precious memories,you cry,thats normal,you go on..because life goes on.

maybe,if you have time you can share yourself with others who suffer in the

same

way,perhaps a phone volunteer, a reader, a visitor or just praying. I know

it's still

a raw wound,but you were blessed to have him. Hugs and prayers and may His

grace

comfort you. nick & Jane

I am so sorry to hear about your husband. It blew my mind to see

that he was only 39 years old. May God keep you and the children

safe.

I have been just reading the group most of the time. Very sorry to

read about Max. I lost my wife about 2 1/2 moths ago. I'm going to

grief counceling that is offered in NJ by Hospice, It seems to be

helping me. If there is anything I can do to help, feel free to

email. I'm just a few months ahead of you in trying to continue my

life without my wife of 30 years. Keep good freinds and family

around you, it really helps, lean on them, let them help you.

I am so sorry that you lost your husband. You are both so young to

have to have gone through this. My heart breaks for you and your two

children. I hope that, in time, the memories of your time together

will help to sustain you in the difficult days ahead. If you ever

need to vent, you are always welcome here or to send me an email. I

lost my husband to colon cancer about a year ago. Your web family is

always here for you.

I send my thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

Fondly,

Amie

[Guest guest]

- I am so sad to hear about about your husband. My sympathy

to you and your family. You had such a short time since Maxc was

diagnosed with such serious disease, and at such a young age. I am

sure you were still reeling from that. He sounded like a most

wonderful person. Let the memories of the wonderful times help

sustain you through this difficult time.

Take care,

Kris

[Guest guest]

I just read your post and am so sorry for your loss. I'm sure that

you feel that the sun will never shine again. I hope that you will

take comfort in knowing that you were strong and selfless. May God

grant you peace in the days to come.
