J.C. Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 On thanksgiving Day (Canada) October 13, my husband left me for the first time in 43 years, while he was sleeping peacefully. I will always keep all the souvenirs in my mind, specially those of the 12th of October when he was fully conscious and even if he could not speak anymore, we had the full day to listen to music while I spoke to him of all the good times we had together, the laughters, the tears, and of what he meant to me. Just seeing his smile was beautiful. The cremation was this morning, I was alone with him as we were for so many years, 43 all together. The pain is gone for him. Thank to all of those that answered my 1st post. I will keep in touch with the forum, because even if I did not write, I was reading the posts nearly every day and learning and I will keep learning and if possible I will try to help. Thank you for him. J.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anniemac Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 JC, I'm so sorry for your loss. 43 years is a long time. The day you played music and talked about all the good times and what your life together meant---I'm still crying. What a special thing to do. We should all learn from this and do it today to our loved ones. My prayers are with you. Annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
