It is with a deeply grieving heart that I tell you my husband Don died Monday evening at 6:06 p.m.
I was here alone with him and held his hand telling him to go with Jesus .. to feel the warmth and love of the Light. He shrugged his shoulders together gently as to give a hug .. took one last deep easy breath.
I held his hand after that and sobbed and praised our Lord for taking him .. that he was no longer in pain.
I closed his eyes ... then bathed him putting clean gown and linens on him .. I called our children so they could come home to be with him a little while .. and called Hospice.
I have times when I am ok .. and then times when the tears just come uncontrollably ..
I wish to thank all here for their love and support ..
I met a very dear lady here .. her ID is gal_jay .. she and I have been emailing each other daily .. it is so ironic how closely our lives mirror each other ... Do I believe in Miracles .. yes I do .. God placed she and I in each others life thru here ... her husband had brain cancer and Don, lung cancer .. they were both in the exact same condition over these past 3 weeks. I had told Don to look for Jerry when he began to walk with Jesus toward God's Light to Heaven .. Don died at 6:06 Monday night .. Jerry died at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday morning .. and as he was dying Joanie told him to look for Don and walk with him and Jesus.
Now in our deep grief .. we know in our hearts that they are together in Heaven and that God gave she and I the deep friendship of each other to help us thru.
Oh how blessed we all are to have this site in ivillage.
God bless each of you from the bottom of my heart .. my prayers are with each one and your loved ones.
Hugs and Love ....

Ohhhhh Gail, I am so so sorry to hear that Don has passed away.
Gail,
I am brand new to this partiular board and I can only pray that I find the support that you have.
Hi Gail,
Gail,
I want to extend the sympathy you have received here as well. It is so hard to lose someone that you love.
From what I have read you were a very loving , devoted wife and watched him suffer for a long time. That could not have been easy even on the strongest person.
May God give you the peace you need to heal and go forward.
Bless you! Sending you Gentle Hugs!
Billie
