I was thinking of you so much today Beryl
Grief can be so lonely  at times it really can
I hope your surrounded by caring people
it sounds like you are
Lots of love dear Beryl always, Sandra xx
 
 

The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love~and be loved in return♥♥  


 

i went to work today so it kind of helped but it is so hard especially at night.  I have been trying to keep busy but then sometimes you just sit and wonder what if? Also there were so many things that he did and now I have to figure out how to do them myself.  I am still having problems in finding items that I need so I am now going into the file cabinet to see what is there and there are only 8 drawers to go through...I am now praying for strength to do what I have to do.l..

And when the Day comes, God will call the Greyhound to give
Testament, and God will pass judgment on man.

Dearest Beryl,
My prayers are with you now as you do the things you have to do, but wish you didn't have to.
 
I pray you will find the strength and courage to get through these difficult and dark days and nights.
 
Don't be afraid to ask others for help. People generally love to help, they just don't know how to sometimes.
 
My heart goes out to you, and I can feel your loneliness.
I will light a candle for you now.
 
Bless you dear Beryl. We are all here for you.
 
with Love,
Jude

Love is the only way

after all of the trying to make things as good as possible for David,

with much love . . .

Der Beryl,
 
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time as you search for the strength you need. As Jude suggests, do ask for help in getting necessary things done. Also, a loving presence may ease your loneliness at least a little.
 
I just lit a candle for you!
 
Much love and warm hugs,
Edda

Peace and joy!

My heart goes out to you Beryl.
It is so very hard to do what has to be done at a time like this.
I send you love and empathy in the tasks that lay ahead of you.
 
When my father passed away I had to do much of the digging for my mom.
I had to go though piles of paper work to figure out what was what and what to do. I did receive much help and compassion from others as I called to become clear on certain things. It was so hard at times I just would cry with these complete strangers to me and they were so kind. I learned/found there were so many kind and caring people everywhere. Be gentle with your self and give your self time and care as much as possible.
 
((((Spiritual group hugs for you)))))
 
Peace, Love and Light,
Diane

Grateful to be here!
What a gift and connection builder!
Love and Gratitude,
Love who You Are

David is beyond the pain and loneliness
that lives in this world.
Perhaps a candle group for Beryl . . .

as she learns to live and love again
without David's physical presence by her side . . .
so that she knows she is truly not alone
with love . . .

Dearest Beryl, my heart goes out to you. I can't say that I know what you are going through but I want you to know that I am here for you. I know that it must be hard havin to put the pieces back together after your "blue eyed bear" left you. I can't begin to imagine the paper work and all you would have to do. Let alonew trying to learn the things that David used to do for you. Please know that you remain in my thoughts and prayers. I have already lit you a candle. Love Always, Joya 

Dear Beryl
 
David will still  guide you but  in different ways now
I  pray each day that you find the strength
to carry on and know just how loved you really are.
Love and comforting hugs always, Sandra xxxx

Hello dear Beryl,
I'm wondering how you are, and sending you much Love,
 
Jude

Love is the only way

Dear Beryl,
I stumbled upon this forum while I was lighting a candle for my late husband who also died from colon-cancer on 8/24/2007.  I can honestly say I know exactly what you were, and are now going through.  The job of being a caregiver is a difficult yet satisifying one.  My love of my life died peacefully in his sleep at home. we were holding on to each other's arm.  When his hand slid from my arm, I woke instantly and knew that he had left me. From that moment, and for the rest of my life I will never be the same.  My husband also had blue eyes that changed from shades of blue to shades of green depending on what color he was wearing.

We now belong to a club that no one ever wants to join, the Widows Club. I wish  I had discovered this forum sooner so i could have sent you some comforting words.  I do not live very far from you, I'm in NE Ohio.  If you should come back to this place, please let everyone know how you are doing.  Maybe I can help you a little with what you are going through now.  

At this time all I can offer are some words of comfort that I hold close in my heart.  I do not know who the author is, so i can't cite them.  I have a heart necklace with the words inscribed, and also a plaque that I keep displayed next to his last Christmas gift to me.  The gift is one of the Willow carvings called "ThePromise".  It is a man & woman embracing.  The words on the placque and the heart necklace are;


Gone yet not forgotten
     athough we are apart,
Your spirit lives within me
      Forever in my heart.

May you find comfort in these words and know that his spirit and love will forever live in your heart.

Welcome to the forum, Adelle!
 
I am so very sorry for the loss of your beloved husband. You have gone through such a difficult experience and you are very generous in sharing it with Beryl and us!  Thank you for your precious memories as well!
Beryl hasn't been back for a while. If you wish to contact her you might send her a PM to express your willingness to support her in a way only you can. Your compassion touches me deeply!
 
Please, return often and let us get to know you, if you wish!
 
With much love,
Edda

Peace and joy!

Dear Adelle . . .
I wish that Beryl was here
to receive your message.
She and her husband Dave,
were very special people.
As Edda has said,
she has not been back here recently,
but she might get a private message
if you send her one.
You can click on her name
before one of her posts,
and then choose the 'send private message' button.
 
You are so very welcome
here on the forum,
Adelle.
I hope that you will return.
You very much belong here,
for I feel that you have acquired (earned) wisdom
that could benefit us all.
Most of us
belong to one 'club' or another,
and you will know
as time goes by . . .
this is a sharing place,
and your presence
is so very much welcome here
with love . . .

Dear Adelle,
Welcom to the Forum. I'm glad you found us and hope you will come back and talk to us some more about yourself.
 
I am so sorry you have lost the love of your life. I'm sure you feel that he is still close by somewhere, as Love never dies.
I Googled the Promise figurine...it is very beautiful.
 
We are all wondering how Beryl is getting on.
 
Blessings to you,
Jude

Love is the only way

Adelle, welcome to the forum. i have to be honest with you, i have not ben able to be on here much as well as it  has been very crazy and hectic at our house. I do hope that you will be able to come back and share more with us.  I am sorry as well that you have lost your love. As Jude said "LOVE NEVER DIES". Please know that there are so many people here that are so loving and supportive. I hope that you will be able to feel the love and support that I have found here. Please take care. With much Love, Joya

I thank all of you  for your warm welcome.  Your kind words were a salve to my soul  I do hope Beryl comes back because I think the support on here will help her through this sad time in her life.  

the internet can be a warm loving place when you are hurting.  When Chuck died, the "friends & family" seemed to disappear after his funeral.  I had no one to talk  to so I sought relief by getting "lost" on the internet. Surprisingly I found much comfort from strangers, many others who have suffered a "loss"  

I need to go for now but I will be back.  Again I thank all of you so much.

Adelle

Adelle Thank you for your kind thoughts and Yes the people disappeared after the funeral.  It is very lonely without my big blue eyed bear and I am trying to cope.  I just have not been on the message board but I will be back I do need the friends I have made here.  I have been going to work and trying to get out but the nights are so lonely

Welcome back, Beryl!
 
I am so glad to find your post! I have been wondering how you were doing. It is good to have a place where you can safely share your thoughts and feelings! Adelle is so touchingly concerned about you. She understands so well where you now are. I am grateful you have met here!
 
I'll light a candle for you and am keeping you in my prayers!
 
Much love and warm hugs,
Edda

Peace and joy!
