(((Don & Lucie))), This is such wonderful news. I was thinking how good Lucie looked in the pics of Katie's bash and this proves why. I am just so happy for you. Love, Sue

(((Peggy ))), When I read your words, I realize I still have so much healing to do. I still stifle the tears, even when I am alone. I , like you , did it for so long . I cry several times a day, but it seems I always try to stop it and stifle it. I'm so aware of the built of pain that needs to come out. It's so intense and debilitating. I'm reading your words and trying to learn from your example. Thank you and God Bless you. Love and Prayers, Sue

(((Lori and Mom))) Count me in with the prayers. Will be looking for an update. Love, Sue

So very sweet and it certainly describes the feeling across this board. Thanks. Love, Sue

Lori, You and your precious mom have my prayers. Love, Sue

Faces for sure, Ann. I've actually been in the grocery store or out somewhere, see someone whom I know I should know their name as well as my own and hide because I'm embarassed to have forgotten. Sue

I am so sorry for your loss. My condolences to the family. Sue

Lisa, I am so very sorry for your loss. Losing those we love is so very painful and I know I do exactly as you do in that some days are so very painful and others you do ok. God be with you Lisa. Sue

Tell your cousin we are waiting for her. We are sorry for the diagnosis , but we are here to help. Sue

Carleen, Telling you that it has been a little over 4 months for me and I am totally lost and hurting won't help, but it's very true. I loved my husband for 36 years and I was blessed with that time. I can only try to imagine how you must feel cheated to have lost Keith so young. Carleen, people tell me that there is a reason for the way things happen and we may not know at the moment what it is, but we will know. The only thing that is getting me through this is to believe that there is a God and he is a loving God. We need him Carleen and I believe with all my heart that Keith and Mike are with him. They are no longer suffering and we should feel happy for them. We are left behind to pick up the pieces and I think we should all pool our knowledge, our strength and hearts to help each other through this. We have a lot of widows and widowers on this site who have to learn how to function as one . I just know there are a lot of loving arms and lots of support for all of us. I , like you still need practical information as to how I am going to function financially. I haven't worked for 36 years and now I find myself with no income. No, we won't get our husband's social security, not now. So many things causing panic and anxiety , but we will make it Colleen, I know we will. I will be praying for you. PM me if you would just like to write or if you have a question I can try to answer from the knowledge I have gained so far. This is so new for you. Allow yourself to grieve. God be with you. Love, Sue

Me too !!! Me too!!! You've touched a lot of hearts here and we care how you are. Love, Sue

Carleen, I am so very sorry you and your family has lost another member. God be with you in the day to come. Love, Sue

Kat, I am so very sorry for your loss. One day at a time Kat, one day at a time. God Bless you. Sue

I just find myself shaking my head and wondering how you do it all and do it all so well. I loved reading all the upbeat news. God Bless, Sue

Aliboo, I'm so very sorry you are going through all this . My husband never had pain, so I can't relate to that , but I do understand from reading here that pain can be controlled. I would insist on it. Noone should have to suffer with all the different options available to patients . Wish I could offer you more than this . You have my prayers. Sue

Bill, There's not much I can add that hasn't already been said, but you were such an inspiration to me in my journey as a caregiver. You should feel peace in your heart knowing you gave your all to your loving wife, Etsuko. God be with you and Rob. Love, Sue

Linda, I am so very sorry for your loss of your mom. Prayers coming for strength for you and your family in the days ahead. Love, Sue

Judy, I am so very sorry about the loss of your husband. You have my prayers for strength for in in the days ahead. Sue
