❤️❤️❤️

[CAMPSOUPS]

I am really very sorry to hear this.

I looked at your posts and replies on your home page.

This all happened so fast and you never seemed to have a time of peace. Just constantly looking for the next treatment as one after another failed. I hope my wife can be as together as you seem to be.

You never had what so many of us have which is a decent amount of time during which are cancer is not notably progressing. The time where we can pretend we have years ahead of us to live. Time to live in the moment and not be on edge looking for the next treatment.

Again, my sincere condolences. I hope you can heal from the emotions and the experience you went thru. That you have loved ones near supporting you.

[Kaliber in reply to CAMPSOUPS]

Nice ..❤️❤️❤️

[garyi]

RIP, John.....we'll all be there soon enough. Rest up and take care of yourself Birdfeed. It will get better, given time.

[Currumpaw]

Hello Birdfeed,

I was sorry to read your post. Your post was short but so full of meaning. The first eight words of your first sentence spoke of a bond that many never find.

Be good to yourself. A loss such as your loss takes time and we never heal, never! We learn to live with the loss. Remember the good times. We sometimes have trouble remembering that the one that has moved on would want the best for us, for us to not neglect ourselves and an important part of that is grieving. Tears--oh yes tears fall. Perhaps tears are the spirit's way of washing the worst of the pain away if only ---for a bit? Those who have known this pain of separation have loved and been loved. Eventually the memory of the love you had together will help balance the pain--but both the love and the pain are with those who have had that love forever. It is unfortunately the best of the bargain in life and living.

Family, friends and clergy can be helpful but if you have a beloved pet, no one will be closer to you than the pet.

Today, I pray for you and John. So sorry for your loss.

[kiskadog]

Many here have written eloquently, Since I'm not capable of that, please accept my condolences and add their thoughts as mine.

[boseley]

So sorry for your loss. I hope it helps a little to tell you that I went through this almost 2 years ago. I still think about my husband a million times a day. You are probably feeling very overwhelmed right now. Accept all the help and support that you can and hang on to the memories. My thoughts are with you.

[DSEE]

There is nothing like the loss of your spouse. May Gods peace be with you.

I have been where you are!

[Maddyj22]

I am so sorry for your loss. 💔

[j-o-h-n]

Geez.... why is it that when one of our members pass I get sad just thinking, there goes a member who I never had a chance of meeting and getting to know. It leaves a stain in my psyche which will never disappear. I bet I would have liked him.....and maybe he would have liked me and my silly humor. Well we did have something in common, our first name.

May he live in your heart forever, and I know you are in thoughts and prayers. Who knows but one time I may meet him and talk his ear off, especially about how wonderful you were in being his wife and caretaker. May God Bless him and May God Bless you.

p.s. I remember telling you about my Mom and feeding the birds...

Heartfelt sorrow that you both had such a short period together after the initial diagnosis. Your journey has been a particularly difficult one. New strength will come.

[Robrobaroo]

Dear Birdfeed,I know the pain you’re feeling because my darling husband and best friend of over 30 years died in March. He was 68. I never thought our beautiful love story would end this way. There is a gaping hole in my life now. When I read your post I just wanted to reach out. and offer any comfort I could. You are not alone. God bless.

[gamemaster34]

So sorry for your loss.

[Sunlight12]

I'm so very sorry, Birdfeed. Being there with him and trying beside him was the greatest gift you could give. I'm sure it feels like it wasn't enough - it always does. Be gentle with yourself and take care. Please feel free to keep coming here - there's always someone who needs kind words, advice, or a just a virtual hug. Please know there are many of us who've been through what you're feeling now. It does get better. Hang in there. I wish you peace, love and light <3 HUGS and my condolences.

In solidarity,

Sunlight

I am so sad to hear of your dear husband’s passing. We are all together in this fight against this terrible disease. And we mourn with you. God Bless You. Sending my love.

[Miriver]

My husband of 40 years died at age 65, also, a few months ago. Reflecting back, it was a secret trial drug he used for 2.5 years, as a guinea pig in 2015, that kept him alive.... longer. Could not get that drug again for a man, as it has only been approved for women. It was an anti cancer hormone therapy. Chemo & radiation did not work for his prostate cancer. This is so sad that this is happening way too much... the prostate cancer. I was against him smoking, and he smoked heavily & could not stop. Sincere condolences.

[Birdfeed in reply to Miriver]

That is so sad that they had to stop the drug that worked for your husband. I miss my husband so much. Hopefully the will find a cure for this terrible disease. You are in my prayers.

[Miriver in reply to Birdfeed]

one solution to the cure was anti cancer hormone therapy using Ibrance. There is also Zytiga and other similar. I guess it doesn't work for real advanced cases, as a certain male gene has to still exist ( and not be destroyed by cancer cells yet) ... also I believe a better diet helps & no cigarettes. I also hear that CBD helps in many forms, but conventional docs won't give pain meds to someone using unconventional drugs.

[Jp2sea]

I'm so sorry.

[Luv2ski]

I am so sorry. I know exactly what your going through. My husband died 10/03/2021. Just heartbroken. But he is not hurting anymore.

[northstarlight]

And may God bless you...sorry for your loss
