My deepest . . .

and most sincere sympathy.

I lost my wife in August 2008 from COPD/CHF after watching her decline and suffer for almost 12 years. Her last 18 months were spent in a nursing home because she had reached the point where we couldn't take care of her needs any longer.

I both sympathize and empathize with you and I know the guilt that come with the relief that death ends the suffering but begins the loneliness.

God Bless you and your family
 
So sorry. Words fail at times like this. She is at peace and awaits you in time. Our prayers are with you.
 
We had the service today

It was a beautiful day here in Las Vegas for July. Not too hot with a nice breeze this morning. There was a good turnout considering that many of the extended family were unable to travel for a variety of reasons. We had a little video that the funeral service folk put together of photos of Connie through the years. The pastor said all the right things and many of us wanted to add our 2c but were too emotional.

I got to hold her hand one more time, tell her how much I love her, how much I will miss her, put a little teddy bear in the casket to protect her, and kissed her head one last time. 'Til we meet again, my love.

Many, many thanks to all who have replied to this thread.

Steve
