Hi Sheila, i know just how you feel. Last year on Christmas day evrything still appeared to be fine with my wife Margi, we were all together and just thankfull we had another Christmas together, our heartache started the day after on the 26th, she complained off severe pain and i rushed her off to hospital where we waited 5 hours before i decided enough was enough and took her to another hospital... All the suffering and anguish up to that point was about to get worse. On the 19th of April (nine months yesterday) she passed away from the horrible disease called cancer. My thoughts go out to you and everyone else that must face this Christmas without their soulmates, be strong and know in your hearts that they are watching over us.

Yes, those last few months, hours, and days replay in our mind.  I think we think we may find a way we "could have....", but we really know that was not to be.  Cancer is such a monster---however we MUST move forward ONE day at a time.  I truly miss my husband--it has been 8 weeks---the holidays are coming and going---he is gone.  Good folks (widowed) remind me things will now always be different--I must look to find my new way.  My memories are there, but missing him is first on my mind.  I know he is my angel now and with that must come peace.  His suffering is passed and he now rests.
