I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved, jsg. My heart goes out to you. And, moreso, as this next day will be filled with change and celebration in the news, but will be so sad for you. I would think that extra hard to deal with, can’t imagine. Best heart prayers to you for strength to get through, and look at how many people here give their best love toward your aching heart. I hope you are buoyed by this great sympathy. It’s good love. ---

My condolences to you. Death of my husband is my biggest fear, and not in any abstract way. Sometimes when he leaves I worry he may not make it back home. Peace be with you. ---

Dear jsgoddess, I’m so sorry to hear this. I do hope he died peacefully. For me it was as if I had been shot - a huge hole in the centre of my body - the wind whistling through, but every day that black empty hole got a little tiny bit smaller. ---
