The Colon Club

Deanne,
I'm so sorry...
If you have the desire, there is a colon cancer group on Facebook that is 100% private (no one can read the posts if they are not in the group.) there is a subgroup for those of us caregivers who have lost a loved one and I've found if helpful over the last two months since my husband passed. If you ever want to join the group, Pm Me and I can get you added. I think my Rick will be giving your Scott a warm welcome.....

DeAnn,

Thank you for sharing Scott's last days with us. It sounds as though the time was truly blessed. My prayers are with you and your family. I know you will miss your precious husband dearly. Peace.

Aloha,

DeAnn, I have searched my heart and can not find any special words to say that will help you to feel better.
It is very sad you lost your husband as quickly as you did. I am sorry you had to experience that loss.
I am with you in spirit, Celeste

WHile we have only been friends on the internet...you just truelly touched me with your story. Even though the journey was short....it was long. You have angels all over watching you. You and your family are blessed. Prayers for strength as you raise your boys. It's going to be hard...but you will do it and you will do it well.

DeAnn so sorry for your loss. May God continue to give you little miracles when you need them most.

Debbie

Dear DeAnn,

I am so sorry....my heartfelt sympathy to you and your boys. Wishing you strength and peace in the coming days and weeks and always.

Thank you for sharing this with us. It must be a blessing that it was quick in the end and your dear Scott did not linger or suffer endlessly.

What a blessing it was that you crossed paths with that beautiful girl - God bless her. It sometimes amazes me the kindness and generosity of others.

Love and hugs to you and your boys from across the miles.

My heart goes out to you and your family.

Thinking of you all celebrating Scott together this weekend with love

I want to thank you all for your kind words. I buried the love of my life nine days ago now. It is still unreal to me. I am really struggling here. The kids are holding up pretty good so far but I was warned that it will hit sooner or later for them too. It is just so hard to imagine my life without Scott. I saw a grief counselor who suggested a grief support group. I am also going to check out some that have been suggested by some of you.

Scott's service was beautiful. My youngest child and I made a video of our tribute to him and two of the other kids were strong enough to actually get up and address a packed church. I was so proud of all of them. We must have done something right because several people have asked if I could plan their funerals. Some even said it felt more like a wedding than a funeral so I guess that is also a compliment. The burial was very tough on me but it was also a beautiful thing. It was kind of invite only as I wanted a time for only those I was closest to to share the moment with. We had about 60 people there and did a balloon release. The balloons were red, white, green, and yellow for the Badgers and the Packers. Everyone attached a message. It was really neat to see. I also did a dove release. I let one go which was symbolic of me letting Scott go. That one dove was followed by three others that represented the father, son, and the holy ghost who would guide him home. The crowd gasped ... it was breathtakingly beautiful!

At this point I cry a lot. I told my one son that I must have the biggest tear ducts in history. He suggested that maybe we contact the Guiness Book of World Records to see. As reality sets in, the pain amplifies. I have an extensive vocabulary and all I can come up with to describe all of this is ... this really sucks and I am so very sad. That pretty much sums it up.

I continue to check in on you guys and wish you all the best!

DeAnn

How I wish I could be of some help... But mourning is beyond my possibility. Too sacred, too enormous.
But I want to tell you I'm here, with you, reading your words and feeling sorrow and sympathy...
A warm hug.
Holly

DeAnn, What a great love you shared. You brought tears to my eyes.
May God continue to bring comfort to you any your family.

Tears..thank you for sharing your soul friend...My love and prayers are surrounding your family. What a gift you gave him as he left this world...all the LOVE. Life will never be the same...just know that the LOVE never dies. xoxo

Tears reading this, so sorry for your loss
