Dear Scarlett and Lyn. Will be thinking of you both over the next few days as you struggle with your grief. May you both find some form of peace. I'm sure John and Pete are nearby watching over you. Sending my love. Verityxx

John yelled "*&^%$* it!!!" , and at that moment my son sadly knew that John was a mere mortal.

.......You know, I can't help but think that, as the son of a carpenter, Our Lord might have used a few of those words too.... to misquote Monty Python and the Life of Brian, He wasn't always the Messiah..." he's a very naughty boy".....!!
Smiles and tears....smiles and tears, today and always.x.x.

Dear Scarlett, I am sad to read that your beloved John has gone. What you wrote is so moving, that he came to say goodbye.

My deepest sympathy to you.

May you find peace in your memories of 50 years of marriage. Wishing you continued strength for the time ahead.

Scarlett, I am so sorry for your loss, but as others have said, you have so many years of good memories, and some of these are helping you already.
I am moved and comforted by your account of hearing the doorbell, so can imagine how helpful this is to you.
Wishing you much comfort and peace, you have been a remarkable inspiration to everyone on TP.
'A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours'
I have long thought that these lines from the poem by Leo Marks are suited to those grieving the loss of someone dear who suffered from dementia.
Let John's peace be your peace also.

Oh I know this poem so well. Another cue for the box of tissues. I believe this poem was used to weave a code for a spy (Violet Sabot?) in the film "Carve Her Name With Pride".

A rough time at the Registry Office today. More red tape, and lack of information.

 

[Scarlett123]

Oh I've just noticed someone else said this - and used the correct spelling too.

So sorry Scarlett to read your sad news and your beautiful thoughts.

 

[creativesarah]
