Oh Jean, I'm so, so sorry ...
How I hate AD!

I hope your early memories sustain you and your family.

Two months. The anniversaries are the hardest. But you will miss him always.

I hope you're finding help with all the multiple things that have to be done now. And that your sons have been with you, in person as well as by phone.

God bless you my friend. It will get easier but it will never get better.

That dreaded "W" word!! How I hate that!! Find a bereavement support group, Jean. It helps to talk to others going through the same thing.

I went online and found Daily Strength and clicked on Widows and Widowers, as we are a unique group of those grieving.

Also went to a couple of church groups and made friends with other widows. We still do coffee today.
Lots of hugs,

Jean,
I was thinking of you this week, and checked on here to see if there had been any recent updates. My heart and prayers are with you. I understand to some degree what you have gone through all of these years. I took care of my mother-in-law and then my own mother through the past 15 years. One thought that has never left me - the deeper the love, the deeper we grieve our loss. The risk of love is knowing that there is a risk of grief and loss. BUT, it is all so worth the wonder and greatness of love. Your love for Wayne was such a testament of love for all who watched as you cared for him. May you have peace and rest in this time.

Jean, I have been remiss in check logs, so I missed your note about Wayne's death.
My deep sympathy to you. Your blog has been a deeply touching account of your journey.
May you find peace and comfort in your family and friends.

Hello, Jean. I am so sorry about Wayne. I know your care for him and love was unwavering. The long journey love takes and the loss is so personal but your sharing your experience where you could inspired me and taught me a lot about selfless love. Praying for your heart and comfort in your memories. Hugs, Annette

I hope everyone is doing well, I have some news to share today.... In the next week I am moving to NOLA and hoping this new journey will put me back into the attitude that change is good. So much to do and not enough time to do it. I am so thankful for all the wonderful people in my life (including Pedro Jerome) a loan lender that support me at all times I am excited and also worried my life has been such a downer for so long that getting out of it has been hard, but I do really feel that this change is going to be the best thing I need right now, and I have hopes that all good things do come to those that wait.
I'm thanking a loan lender who helped me with a loan of 1 millions dollars to boost up my business once again at the rate of 2% annual return which is so wonderful, and I would like anyone stuck in financial situation to reach out to Pedro the loan lender on pedroloanss@gmail.com WhatsApp: +393510140339. For loan assistance.
So please keep me in your thoughts, and thanks to this blog I can at least keep in contact with all of you.
