Scarlett, I read your post much earlier on this morning; I didn't know how to respond to the courage that you showed yesterday. A shower and two mugs of coffee later I'm still at a loss. Words almost seem inadequate.

However, I will try. My dear, you showed John why he asked you to share his life with him, (not that he needed telling) and you showed him your love. A love that will not die. He was looking down, free from pain and confusion, and loving you for the way that you held yourself together. I hope you felt our virtual arms round you but, more than that, I hope you felt John's gentle hand in yours giving you a little squeeze when you thought that the occasion was too sad and overwhelming.

You did good my girl. More than good! You were absolutely fantastic.

Love as always

Lyn T XXXXX

Dear Scarlett, I'm so glad yesterday was such a positive experience.
I am sure it is because you are so loving and giving and such a positive force yourself. I smiled and I cried when I read your post. Then I read Lyn T's post and I cried again. Lyn my thoughts are with you.
My love to you Scarlett

Sad .

at 6.30 this morning, i heard the doorbell go. I was surprised that billy hadn't barked, but i got up, took the chain off, unlocked the door, and nobody was there. But i knew it was john saying goodbye.

Sure enough about half an hour later, they rang from the home, and i knew what they would say, and i told them at what time he'd died. I went to see him, and he looked at peace. His log sheet showed he was seen at 6.20, and the staff were going past his room, all the time, so i am fairly positive that he rang the bell to say goodbye.

I am just so pleased he's free from pain, and at peace. The doctor came whilst i was there, and discussed with me the certificate, and he is putting dementia as the cause of death, as this avoids a post mortem.

I've made an appointment at the funeral home for monday, i'll be registering the death at the registry office tomorrow, and i've unpacked my grocery delivery. I'm just glad that i had nearly 50 years of love, with a most wonderful husband, father and grandfather.

he will want you to enjoy the rest of you life im sure

Dear Lyn so pleased all went well yesterday, l am just catching up with your posts as l have been poorly for a few days, read your email from former student that must have made you so proud of John, it moved me so much. I would love to go to Graceland's it was on our next trip list, but due to hubby's AD unable to go now, one day one day, my son said he would take me. wishing you much peace for 2015, please stay with us all we need you love Pam ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Please accept my deepest condolences on the death of your husband

His mind is now at peace, no more pain, no more confusion. Now, for you and your family its time to reflect on happier times gone by and know how strong you've all been

I too read your post about yesterday, early this morning Scarlett, and I was so in awe of what you did that I just couldn't think of anything to say!
Everyone has now said what I feel, but much more eloquently. It's an overused word these days, but in your case it's appropriate, you were awesome and I feel like applauding you too xxx

One of my friends, who is a darn sight more computer-literate than me, and belongs to Facebook and twits or tweets, has sent me some comments. I know they're talking about me, but really, they're about John's Funeral, and so they're about him.

To so many people, who vaporised, he was nothing . Now all of a sudden, they're writing things like "what an amazing funeral yesterday for my dear old friend John"!!! Dan, my son, said I'm actually a better actress than Dame Helen, cos he thought I sounded genuine when I was thanking them for coming!!

I don't know if I have the authority but I want to award you an Oscar for what sounds like an exceptional performance. Thinking of you Scarlett and remembering how you have helped so many of us.
