I don't know why, but I have this yearning to tell you here: My husband died Friday night

155. No, dear OKNancy... we aren't your 'best friends' but we ARE your community here...

...and that's a connection, and it matters.

So thank you, for sharing this painful part of your life with us. It is an honor that you allow us to know your life and your sorrow.

The picture of Robert shows a very special person.

Your loss must feel simply devastating, even though you were prepared for it over the years of struggle with his illness. The shape of your life changes so profoundly as that last breath goes...

Holding you, and your whole family, in my heart. May his memory be a blessing, and time bring you some solace in your grief.

We're here. All of us, and each of us. Don't hesitate to reach out in the deep, lonely hours. It's one of the few advantages of an online community like this, that there's almost always someone here.

lovingly,
Bright
