Barb, my deepest sympathies...The Lord will see you thru this...I know...
If I could in any way, I would send some much needed cash...I'll try to come up with somehing...We need an address...And no time for pride...I can tell you a story about pride...
Absent from the body is to be present with the Lord for us Christians...Always remember what Jesus said, "Come unto me and I will give you rest"...

Just know you are not alone in your grief, my friend. God bless you, and Norman. Take care, and let us know if we can do anything more for you.
Pax Vobiscum
His last words to me were "home" and "I love you."
You know, my mother died of cancer in 1996 and just before she died, she had all kinds of strange visions. She couldn't talk, but she wrote on a pad of paper and I have saved it.
One time, she wrote me a scribbled note about beings appearing to her, including her mother, who wanted to help her. And the night before she died, she kept writing the figure "8" on the pad--which, if you turn it to the side, means infinity. She also kept writing something about how a taxi was coming to get her.
Again, I'm so sorry. I'm sure your husband was trying to say goodbye and waited as long as he could, knowing it would be hard for you. My prayers are with you.
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. Many prayers to you and your family.
Our prayers are with and for you. May your Norman rest in peace and may you find solace in the love you two shared.
We also pray that you will be rewarded with a means to carry on financially.
Our sympathy to you and yours.....

I am so sorry to hear this, and my prayers are with you. Don't worry, your dear Norm will be waiting, with his loving arms outstretched for that dance.
If I may:
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away and the sea was no more ... I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold the dwelling of God is with men ... He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall mourning nor crying, nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away... And he who sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new."
Rev. 21:1-5
God bless you richly and with great love.
Your love, your faith, and your courage is inspiring. I hope you are comforted, if only a little, knowing that's how I feel.
Dear Barb, your story reminded me of a song from my youth, I'll bet you know it too:

Norman , ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Norman, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

Jimmy called me on the phone but I was gone, not at home
Cuz I was out parked all alone with darlin' Norman
Bill invited me to a show but I said no, cannot go
There's a dress that I've got to sew and wear for Norman
Norman holds me close to him, Norman kisses me and then
Norman knows my heart belongs to him and him and only him, oh
Norman, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ohh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Norman, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ohh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Norman, Norman, my love
Joey asked me for a date, he wanted to take me out to skate
But I told Joey he would have to make 'rangements with Norman
Norman is my only love, Norman's all I'm thinking of
Norman gives me all his lovin', kissin', huggin', lovey-dovin'
Norman, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Norman, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Norman, Norman, my love
Please come back and talk to us if you're lonely.
I am so very sorry for your loss, Barb. Been following the thread about your Norman posted by 'trussell'.
May God comfort you. May you feel His love and compassion during your time of grief and sorrow.
You are not alone.
Amen...
I am so sorry. My prayers are up. The love of God surround you and comfort you.
Sympathy and prayers for you and your family, Barb.
Find comfort in this, Dear Sister.
Every day that passes before you is one day closer to your being in his loving arms again. Those arms will not tire from the toil of the earth. They will not tremble from illness or age. They will be strong and heavenly and they will envelope you forever without fear or pain or tears or the possibility of separation for the balance of eternity.
I lost a dear son in 1988 and I know he and others I love are waiting to share the eternal joy of heaven with me.
Your time remaining here is but a brief blur of a hummingbird's wing. The real joy you will share with your husband in the life beyond will never end.
You know where you are going and you know who will be there waiting for you with a bounty of love beyond our earthly understanding. He will not forget or forsake you for your bond of love with him transcends the mere mortal life.
This is the gift of eternal life through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
It is OK to cry and miss your beloved husband but your separation from him will only be for a little while.
May God Bless You and Keep You!
