My dear Wayne slipped away quietly yesterday morning.  Now I must learn to think of myself as "me" and not part of "we."

Thought I was prepared but maybe you can't really be prepared.  I'm strong and God is with me.  Too weak to walk right now so I think this is why He is carrying me.  I want to wake up and find out this whole thing was a big nightmare and Wayne will be well and dance with me one more time.  I'm grateful that he is out of pain now but, wow, I'm hurting worse than I thought I would.  Still, God's will be done.  I still know He is with me.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and prayers.  These trials make my faith all the stronger.  I trust God and love Him.

MePogo,

             May God's Spirit impart to you the emotional strength to carry on and endure this most emotionally agonizing time in Your life. You are an inspiration to all of us, helping Us not to wallow in Our own self pity regarding Our own trials which pale in comparison to the Loss of Your Mate. I wish there was something I could say or do to make everything better, instead I leave in the Hands of the Living God who eventually will make all things new. Rev. 21:3-5. We look forward to the day when the former things will pass away.

                                    My Heartfelt Prayers in Your behalf, Samson.

Pogo. My heart goes out to you. I know of no words to give you and really, there are none that help at this time.
My whole stomach clenches if I think of losing my love even though he is away for long periods of time.

I was carried by the Father when I lost my mom and she was the mainstay of my life when my husband was not there. I know this because there was no other explanation for the way I came through.

I know that same big beautiful hand is encircling you and holding you close to His chest.  And He is never going to let you go.

I agree Mepogo

Try as we will and desire as we yearn, there is nothing that can prepare us, protect us or remove us from that terrible pain that etches its mark, deeper into us than we can at first know or believe possible.

May your healing, restoration and blessing warm you to new life, new joys and ever remembered, cherished memories of your darling, until you meet again when yes, there shall be no more sickness, no more death and no more tears.

In Hope and Love to you dear friend and sister

Pogo,
My heart breaks for you. I never used to understand "rest in peace" but I do now and it gives me great peace. I am sure this has been a very hard time for you to have to stand by and watch as he was so ill. Please take good care of you right now. I'm sure it has been a while since you were able to do that. You and your family will be in my prayers.

pogo,

I am so sorry for your loss.  It is overwhelming I know.  No words can ever describe the feeling of loss and that part of you that is now absent.  You are right about the me not we thing.  I have been just learning to live life without as opposed to living life.  It's the hardest thing I have ever done and five months later, it's only a little bit easier.  I will earnestly pray for you. 

God Bless and strengthen you daily.

Hi,
I am not sure what to say, but I am sorry, and I wish you have found some encourage on these forum online community. You are lucky to have a few people around you with whom you can share what you have come to know through Ray's work.

Vaya con DIos amiga Mepogo, te deseo paz y consuelo.

Sencillo y feliz es quien se considera en necesidad espiritual.
Afortunado serás cuando sientas que has perdido lo que más apreciabas, pues lo que viene después es mejor.
Humilde y sencillo si te encuentras no queriendo más ni menos de lo que tienes, pues así te puedes dar cuenta en que parte eres rico o pobre.
Feliz el que desea, busca y quiere una vida justa y piadosa.
También feliz el bondadoso y que tiene misericordia con otros pues encontrara como otros también tienen misericordia con el.
Sencillo, humilde y feliz cuando ordenes tus pensamientos y tus intenciones sean claras para ti mismo, teniendo una conciencia limpia, pues así podrás ver y tratar a los demás con honestidad.
Somos sencillos y contentos al ser pacíficos.
Si nos persiguen, rechazan o dicen mentiras en nuestra contra por buscar vivir justa y piadosamente; en esto también encontraremos verdadera felicidad.

(Inspirado en Stgo. 1:1-5 (James 1:1-5), versión MSG, YLT, TLB, NRSV, NLT)
