Thanks guys.
We're OK.
H and I went to the zoo this afternoon, as a distraction.
Now that we're home, sadness is back. frown
She suffered for 3 years.
That's enough.
She had thyroid CA.
The surgery included vocal cord removal ... 3 years without her voice. frown

Hey Pep,

Very sorry to hear about your loss.

Next time you walk past my cage, though, please stop and say hello. After all, how many monkeys do you see tapping away on a laptop??

Maybe that made you smile. If not, I hope my condolences resonate a little better.

The ? that made recovery possible: "Which lovebuster do I do the most that hurts the worst"?

The statement that signaled my personal recovery and the turning point in our marriage recovery: "I don't need to be married that badly!"

If you're interested in saving your relationship, you'll work on it when it's convenient. If you're committed, you'll accept no excuses.

Pep,

I am sorry to hear this story. It sort of strikes close to home. My daughter had thyroid cancer. Fortunately, it appears that they caught it early enough.

6 children and three years of suffering. It just doesn't seem right, it never does.

Take care Pep.

Pep:

There's nothing to say when a loss like this takes place. After losing the woman who raised me like her daughter to kidney cancer, she too suffered for 3 years; and losing my father after brain cancer, he fought his battle for 7 months, i still have no words to even begin to touch the loss and sorrow those that loved this young mother have.

So sorry for your loss. only God can touch the places that are hurting due to her loss, the loved ones, precious children left here, to live their lives in a much different way now.

there is a song that has the phrase....and God cried.....and yes i do believe he does, sometimes, on days like these.

hugs to you.
