Glad to hear she will be at home.

If possible have Hospice called in. Just tell the nurse at the hospital to arrange it.

John,

Heartfelt prayers and sympathy from me for you both and I'm sure from all of us in your extended Forum family.
One's passing is only a bridge and then the song of life continues.
Your love for her will ease the way.

My heart is heavy for you, and your dear wife. No one should have to go through what you both are. Sadly we all have to face this, at some point in our lives, in one way or another.

I do not know what your personal beliefs are, but i will share a couple of mine, as it is the only way i know to give comfort. I look forward to the day when none will face death. a comforting scripture i always enjoyed is at Psalm 37:10-11 It says,

"And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

And verse 29 "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it."

Also in Revelation 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

I hope that your final hours together are peaceful, and that you are able to share love and hope for the future. Although at times like this it is hard, try to remember the wonderful times, and the life spent together. reflect on past joys, rather than the present pain.

I also have a very strong belief that the Bibles hope for the resurection is sure. John 5:28 "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice.."

Until then, please let these hopes and promises bring you comfort. I will close with this last thought, It is one of my favorites, and one I have shared with many before.

(Psalm 34:18-19) "Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; And those who are crushed in spirit he saves. Many are the calamities of the righteous one, But out of them all Jehovah delivers him."

Warmest Regards, Rob

John,

I grieve for you both. I am sorry.

Do you have family or hospice or anyone else to help see you through this?

Well, I understand your sadness and my prayers go out to you and your family.

I know you lean on music to get you thru most everything. Thought these two by
Al Green would help the thoughts I have about your sadness...

My Musician


by Prisana Luke
Created on: October 03, 2007



Music was not my first love,
But it became a love because of my musician.
My musician played every beat, every note, every string, every song
Of my heart.
I fell into his keys as he played intensely for the while,
And I stared at his neck moving with the rhythm,
I fell deep and deeper into the trance of love.
As I fell my path became visions of notes,
Jazz, new age, rhythm and blues,
And I stood trying to leave the room.
Yet, by my musician's tunes, I was grabbed by my waist
And graced into a dance of love and embrace.
Oh! My musician played!
He turned and smiled the side smile of victory,
He knew his music overcame me,
And he continued to play intimately on the keys of my heart with his song.
He appeared relaxed as the music filled the air,
My heart became the base tone of the rhythm my musician designed for me.
He continued for me.
Through his music he loved me,
Through his music he touched me,
Through his music he made me,
He made me love again,
Yes, my musician did.
