That took me beyond life. I felt as if I was in heaven speaking to god. I am in a sorrow, that my boyfriend is going to marry another girl for my sake and my family sake, but I miss him a lot... Take care... Let the lord be with you always. Peace be with Shelley That was great. That took me beyond life. I felt as if I was in heaven speaking to god. I am in a sorrow, that my boyfriend is going to marry another girl for my sake and my family sake, but I miss him a lot…

Take care… Let the lord be with you always. Peace be with Shelley

Godspeed Shelly. I've pointed this post out to many. Some, who I think will benefit greatly in your words, as they too are grieving the loss of their own loved ones who've passed. Thank you!

I'm so sorry for your loss and so happy for you that she was part of your life. I’ll never see a rainbow again without thinking of Shelley and I never had the honor of knowing her……

You speak of love at the beginning of life. And I do admit that most of us do aquire our share of unacceptence in our lives. But throughout our lives we also seem to find love and acceptence, even if it is only through the eyes of those who were our aquaintences. Mostly it is through those who loved us for many years such as our siblings and cousins. Your first point was the most valuable. We all seek love. Comimg back I’ve realized that I missed a point.

We are never really prepared. But I know that there is peace in those thoughts you shared. My father passed away in 1993, every so often he "visits" me in a dream. Usually just a normal vacation or stay over. Always seems natural to me that he's just visiting. It has some comfort to it in that love never really dies.

Double edged sword, though, isn't it? This is my favorite version of the popular poem about cancer. I find it appropo, although I don't know Shelley's illness. May she shine in peace. What Cancer Cannot Do Cancer is so limited… It cannot cripple love, It cannot shatter hope, It cannot corrode faith, It cannot eat away peace, It cannot destroy confidence, It cannot kill friendship, It cannot shut out memories, It cannot silence courage, It cannot invade the soul, It cannot reduce eternal life, It cannot quench the spirit, It cannot lessen the power of God.

What Cancer Cannot Do

Cancer is so limited…

It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot eat away peace,
It cannot destroy confidence,
It cannot kill friendship,
It cannot shut out memories,
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot invade the soul,
It cannot reduce eternal life,
It cannot quench the spirit,
It cannot lessen the power of God.

Your tender humaness, is what makes you the fine man and Dr you are. I am sorry for your loss of Shelia, someday you will see her again, and dance. Beautiful O.C.

My husband died six weeks ago after a long time with heart failure. Life got quite diffucult for both of us in this last year but his last days with pneumonia, which we did not treat, and his death when it came were very peaceful. He was at home, quite content and calm, and I was able to care for him and be with him right to the end. He was a lovely man who loved me deeply. In these last weeks since he died I have somtimes felt that I am not mourning him enough - that I am not totrally overcoem by grief -as if my ability to get on suggests some lacking in my loving of him. As I write this I have to stop typing so I know I am hitting on some emotional truth. I think what your posting has done is to remind me that the knowledge of his love or our love is what is sustaining me as I try to find a way in which i can live a life when he is not physically here.
