Madchen's Mom

I have been posting to this forum as support for my dog, Madchen, who has transistional cell carcinoma in her bladder. I have not posted in awhile. My girl is still with me. On January 13 at 12:37 am, I lost my beloved husband, Jerry.

I am not really sure what happened. An autopsy revealed 2 pulmonary embollisms. He was only 63. We were married in 1993 after some disastrous relationships for both of us had left us believing that true love could never happen. He told me once, "We're not perfect; but we're perfect for each other." We were; I loved him and he loved me to the envy of all my friends. I am devastated. The memorial service has come and gone and all my children have gone home.

Pray for me, my friends. I will never be the same.

Madchen's Mom,

My Dear Jackie,

I don't have any words which will take away the great ache in your heart and emptiness in your life without your "soul mate" Jerry.

This news is just devastating and I was missing you and wondering if Madchen had taken a turn for the worse. This is certainly most unexpected.

I know at times like this one does question God's reason for taking away something so perfect from our lives as the love you both shared for over 16 memorable and good years. You both found each other when you were hurting and completed each other in every way."To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides."

My prayers are with you and your family at this very sorrowful time.

All I can say is that I am truly sorry this has happened to you and I am glad that you thought to come here where you have a family of friends who really care.

I hope you have a good support system around you because your grief is presently overwhelming and you need to lean on others right now and not be alone in your pain.

I wish I could just sit with you quietly and let you share your memories of Jerry and your amazing life together and let you cry and let me take some of your pain. Since I cannot be there, know that I will carry you in my heart and hope that there will be peace someday for you.

God Bless you my friend and hugs to Madchen. I hope she is a comfort to you at this time.

Blessings,
Joanne
