I Will Not be Posting for a While

DH has been laid to rest. I couldn't ask for our plans to be carried out any more thoughtfully. I know he would be proud of us for bringing family and friends together and sharing his life in a way that he would have wanted.
A few that were new to knowing him were able to get a better idea of who he was and wished they could have known him longer.
A loyal Friend, Husband, Father, and Grandfather. He will be so very missed. 😪

So happy for you that you were able to give him a final gathering that would have pleased him and that you can look back on with gratitude. I feel it helps with the grieving when you feel you’ve done right by your loved one for their final send off.
 
I am sorry for your loss. I can’t begin to imagine how it feels. Be strong. You are not alone. Others who have been through the same are often your best sources of strength and guidance.
 

Sorry for your loss, hearlady but very happy to know your adult children are with you and looking out for you.

There is a time to be born and a time to die. This is clear to me at this time.
We had a good last year putting aside the petty annoyances that made us bicker. Christmas was a great one. We got all the decorations down and planned ahead to make it a joy and not a burden. The family were all there. Gifts were meaningful and it felt very warm.

Since we had Christmas early we decided to go down to Myrtle Beach. The place we met and married. It seemed DH was making it for me. He took me to the places I wanted to go and enjoyed some things he never did. On the last day I insisted we do things he wanted to do and we did. It was a good day.

I was with him when he died. I think he sensed it coming on but it was sudden and I don't think he suffered.
There were strangers that came to our aid immediately and my children rallied and came to my side. Angels.
This gives me peace.

I just saw your message, @hearlady, and am sorry for your loss! May his memory be eternal! Your children are truly angels!
I, too, lost my husband suddenly, and it took me almost a year to stop crying. I had many lengthy conversations with God. But it's been 12 years now, and although I think about my late husband, I don't grieve anymore. I am at peace. He is where he needs to be. What helped me cope was doing something in his memory, whether it was planting a tree or donating to a cause.
