Hello Connie,  not much to add to all the known friends here....I do not know as much about you as everyone else ...  I do feel that it is so helpful to talk to your friend almost as if he is there beside you, for in my own way of thinking ...he is.  My younger sister died about a month ago and I talk to her just as I did when she was in Ohio and I was here in Florida and you know it is kind of funny...she was so hard of hearing, I think she hears me better now!  So...if you've a mind to, just talk away, he is close by feeling your pain and he will be glad to be to be there with you.......Much love and many blessings coming your way from myself and all who care deeply about you and the trials you are going though.....Samantha

Samantha.......first of all thank you for sharing your story with me. I too am sorry for your loss.
I am struggling to deal with all this. I have done alot of praying to God to help me understand.
I love your idea of talking to Chuck. I have thought of nothing but him for the last two days. I agree, all the time I am missing him he has been here with me. Even if I didn't get to say goodbye he knew beyond a doubt how much I loved him. Nothing could change that.
This sounds crazy but just now after I read your post I felt more relaxed then I have all day.
Thank you for giving me some of the peace I need.

Love and hugs....connie d

I am so sorry for your loss.   Words don't mean much with this kind of loss but maybe knowing you are thought about and so many prayers coming your way help a bit.   Jo

Jo....thank you for your thoughts and prayers....it means a lot.

Connie-

My thoughts will be on you and Chuck's family today.  I have never experienced profound loss other than the loss of my father.  I have a dear friend who lost her husband at 57 almost two years ago and is now dealing with the loss of her daughter to alcoholism.  But I ramble, just know that I am thinking of you today and the next few days.  Talk to Chuck all you want, that's what my friend does.  When you're feeling better you or you and Nic can go to MN and say goodbye.

Love ya!

Cindi

Connie,
   At times like this ..well you rant , rave, scream , cry do whatever makes you FEEL better.  DOn't hold it inside.
   I'm so very sorry for your loss.  I know it you feel devestated..but, Chuck is in a better place and is no longer feeling any pain. I'm sure he still loves you and is watching over you as you deal with this.
   Come to us anytime you want.  Wish I was closer to hug you in person, but, know that I'm sending you hugs and blessings as best I can.

Marcy....thank you so much. I know he is here with me but it is still too new and so painful. I just ache inside.
Thank you for the nice reply....you are so sweet.

Love and hugs....connie d

Dear Connie,

    I am so sadden to hear of your friend's passing. It is obvious that he loved you very much by the way he always stood beside you in good times and not such good times. I will be praying that God will surround you and his family with comfort and peace.   Love and hugs,   Mag
