Dougie, my heart hurts for you also. My wife is battling cancer and as I write this, she is slowly rejoining the real world after her chemo treatment last tuesday. I think a little of me dies each day as I watch her fighting to live. A friend had to watch her mother succumb to the disease and she and I spent a lot of time talking about death and dying and where God is in all of this. I told her repeatedly that God was holding her heart in the palm of His hand and my friend's strength thru all of that allowed me to be a little stronger...I think we propped each other up and I was inspired to make a carving for her.



Know that God is holding your heart gently in the palm of His hand also...

You and your family are in my prayers tonight. The loss of someone so special and close to you is beyond words. I know how i felt when a loved one so close to me passed away, but I will never know how you feel.

Words can't express my my feelings for your sorrow.. I lost my husband after 53 years .. It was Jan. 18, 2005. He was my best friend also.. With God's help and Grace we make it through.. You will see her again and that life will be without pain and suffering.. all tears will be wiped away. How wonderful that will be.. Keep that in your heart and mind and God will honor your faith.. Sincerely Charlotte

I don't know if this is too long to write but my Grand daughter gave it to me in a frame.. Maybe it will help a little. It did for me..

Home in Heaven

I'm safely home in heaven,
though I know you miss me so.
The love I've always felt for you,
within my heart still flows.

My Spirit will remain with you
every single day, appearing as a
rainbow or as ocean waves at play.

I'm in the gentle rains that fall,
and in the morning dew.
All you see that's beautiful
reflects my love for you.

I didn't mean to cause you pain.
my tiime had simply come.
The work that I was meant to do
on earth had all been done.

I'm safely home in heaven,
where eternal peace is mine.
And where, when God has called you,
too, I'll be forever thine.

Bobbie Wilkinson


I hope this helps a little..Charlotte
