beeches lost her husband today. Sad condolences.

Beeches, so very sorry for your loss. I went through this in 2015. Posters who say it takes time are correct. Still miss my husband terribly but at times I feel him close and that brings comfort. Prayers sent your way,

Prayers & good thoughts.

I'm so sorry, Beeches. I lost my husband a couple years ago as a result of chronic disease. So very hard.

Oh Beeches, my heart and prayers go out to you.

So very sorry for this loss.

Is there a memorial book/website to sign? A memorial fund?

Take notes for the rest of us on the funeral process, please.

You could do a lot of good saving that info

I went with my Mother when Dad passed

I was so glad she wasn’t alone with those sharks

They said the linings came with the caskets - and of course only showed her suitable linings in the most expensive caskets ... nope they could not be changed they said. I SAW them ... easily switchable . The only “reasonably” priced caskets had pink liners and she wouldn’t put Dad in them. I held my ground and asked so many questions - of course they “found”’ a reasonable casket with a more manly grey liner . They are asshats to poor widows

Stay STRONG as I know you are - nurses aren’t wimps and GLP
Nurses know a thing or two about trolls ... stand your ground

TAKE CARE

We know how frugal Beeches is and too independent and stubborn to ask anyone for help. How can we get past that and help?

Even after 40 years I am still upset over how my husbands funeral home took advantage of a young widow with nursing babies. I think Beeches knows what to watch out for, thank goodness.

I'm so very sorry to hear this, beeches. Sending you much love and wishes for peace and comfort.

So sorry!

So sorry, Beeches.

Sorry for your loss and condolences to the family.

So sorry Beeches, my prayers for you and your family.

no, not thought of those things.... are you serious, so sweet!

we just moved not long ago.

This thread is his memorial now...... arranging for money to go from a daughter's work to Rock Steady Boxing Cornerstone, the people in Delaware who helped him fight back against Parkinson's.

Covid has hit them hard. They want to keep online classes going in the Boxing for Parkinson's program. Rent etc however continues for their physical gym.

Sorry for your loss beeches

Sad news. We sending prayers to Beeches.

WOW, your poor mother... so glad you were with her.


we had pre-paid years back. The money transfers to our new state. There will be no service at the funeral facility due to family having to travel, perhaps at different times.
I want a barbecue picnic is all, maybe one man of God to wish him on his way..... that is all. So they are providing the cremation and assisting with obit placement in our old newspaper, and a tiny one in the newspaper here.

I asked about the wooden container for the ashes... he said Hobby Lobby has the exact same kind of container for 30 dollars that they sell.... for 10 times that amount.
God bless honest people!

The money we aren't spending from the pre-payment amount will be given back to us.

can't stop saying us! that will take a while.

I kind of do, and so it went fine so far.

some people think pre-payment is a racket. I don't agree. they think you don't earn enough on the money you set aside.

I say, if you left that money in my account it might be gone. This way, it is done ahead of time and secured.

My grands and my parents did that. It made everything so much easier. We have plots and all that goes with it, but not sure we'll use them.

Thanks for sharing all of this, hon. If there is a way for us to donate to the charity, let us know. I know alot of people want to do something.

Hugs

so many, many lovely heart-balm posts... yours too - memories abound, he packed more unexpected life into 12 years together than some people have in 50 years....

Completing our move was a very big deal with a sick husband on dialysis and everything shut down.

yet he made it to the promised land... and loved it here!

Now he is in the Promised Land - just too soon...


of course God's timing is best. Jim went out on a high note. Sad he will miss the rest of the song, but grateful he made it this far.

This website is the website of the people that helped him the most.

the Donate tab sends it to the organization, I would prefer sending it to the address mentioned on the home page.... it would go directly to the affiliate that helped him so much.

The mission of RSB is to empower people with Parkinson’s disease to fight back! Research focusing on the concept of intense “forced” exercise, has begun to suggest that certain kinds of exercise may be neuro-protective, i.e., actually slowing disease progression and improving quality of life. Rock Steady is a non-contact boxing program that involves exercises that target balance, posture, core strength, and flexibility.

Peace and God's love be with you at this time of terrible loss.

That's fine, hon. Thx.

sorry for your loss!

My husband and I paid ahead of time for our arrangements, and what a relief it was to have that out of the way when he died. It was funny though, when we were going through the sales pitch, they were trying to sell us a brass urn, very decorative and EXPENSIVE. So, of course we asked what else was available. They came back with what looked like a plastic VCR tape box LITERALLY wrapped in yellow police crime tape! We laughed about that for years - - that's the "container" we eventually chose as the temporary home for our "cremains" (since we're scattering them anyway). Yesterday (the 13th) marked the 17th anniversary of my Husband's passage;

It never totally goes away, but it DOES get better, honey! Love and support to you, and prayers for The Comforter to fold you into his arms.

I’m sorry.
Peace and Love

This is such sad news.

This life here on Earth can end at any moment.

So sorry to hear of your husband passing away.

We all GLPers community are with you in our thoughts and prayers.

You have a big family here.

We are with you in this difficult time.
