Reading marlene’s diary

[marleneb56]

I am Marleneb56’s husband. I want to thank everyone on this site for responding to my post about my wife recently passing away. She was always writing in her diaries which I hadn’t read until after her passing. She said she couldn’t sleep one night and had this thought. She got up and wrote this In her diary..........”If we all might find the joy In giving and receiving kindness then we would again visit that deserted island of ones own spirit and frolic in the sands of contentment and be carried peacefully along the shoreline of life....because to know love and kindness is to know Christ....and there is no more. May God reach out and touch each and every one of you with his healing hands.

I'm glad you have found some comfort from reading Marlene's diary and also from the messages of condolence left on this forum. She sounds like she was a really special lady. I started keeping a diary from the age of 13 after I read Anne Frank's diary, and kept going for years. Then as I was getting ready to move back to the UK I read through all my diaries from over the years and threw them away. I wish I had kept them. Then just before I was diagnosed last year I started keeping a diary again. I wanted to put my thoughts down for my husband to read in case I predecease him.

amen! rest in Christ, Marlene! you are with Jesus and I am just a bit jealous! 1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. God bless you and I am so sorry for your loss, but what a great hope we have in Jesus, that we will see our loved ones again! My hubby is 69 and just had his 4th heart attack and I know what it is like to be hanging on to our love with everything in us, clawing and grasping, not wanting to let them go. It's so hard, but I know that by the grace of God you will get through this, as will we all! Thank you for sharing her wonderful message of hope and love in Jesus!

So sorry for your loss. I also am a bit jealous. I'm not ready to leave my husband but when I do, oh what a day. A beautiful eternity with my savior. No more pain, heartache or tears. Good bless you.

Thank you for that sweet message your wife wrote. I/We thank Lord/God for the time he lends us to our loved ones. Keep close to your heart all of your wife Marlene's great, and funny moments that gave you, and your loved ones joy. This will help you, and your family through this time of mourning. God bless you, and your loved ones.

That is TRUTH! How beautiful 😘 Thank you Marlene! And thank you to her other half. I'm praying for strength and peace beyond this physical realm for you! The spirit is our true life not our body's and hers is shining beautifully!

What wonderful words from a wonderful lady.

I’m sure we all take comfort in them

Thank you for sharing this! And I hope her words give you some peace! There are not alot of positives about having cancer, but for some of us, it pushes us to deal with the whole idea of dying and that can be a positive thing as it was for Marlene!

Beautiful. Marlene sounds like she was a peaceful, loving woman. At peace with herself and her relationship with God. My sympathy to you and your family on the loss of your wife. So sorry to hear of her passing.
