My beloved husband Kevin passed away

Postby las » Mon Sep 10, 2012 2:59 am

Kevin passed away at about 1:41 am, I had laid down for 15 min and for the first time in two days actually fell asleep, I was so tired and then his mother woke me up and said its time, I got out of bed and was able to witness and be with him during his last moments. It still has not sunk in, as I am on here writing about this and staring at him. It is true that your animals can sense what is going on as I witness the two of mine today. Tonight at the moment of it all, our cat came to the room and with the family here, my cat never comes around, she only loved Kevin. She tolerates me, but doesn't like anyone else and you can see that in her hissing at anyone that comes over, but tonight she came right to our bedroom door during it all.

For the last 2weeks, she has stayed away since family had been around.

Love,
Lisa

Lisa,

As I said earlier I could not sleep, I just got up to check and saw what I was hoping not to see, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. I know your heart is broken and so much just isn't making sense I'm sure. Here for you in anyway as the days go by. You are thought of by so many and are loved. We may not see each but we feel like family. Kevin is out of all pain and and is now with our heavenly Father. May God give you the strength you need during these troubled times. Love and HUGS!

Dearest Lisa, I am so incredibly sorry for your loss of Kevin. Its clear how much you loved each other from your words.

I am happy that he had you by his side, and that you were able to get married in the midst of all this. I'm not very good with saying the right things with tragedies of this magnitude, but please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
