Sad Time

[Heather]

Dear all,


Just to let you know that my ex-husband, Norman was released from his suffering in the early hours of yesterday morning. I had been able fly over twice to spend some days with him, for which I am very grateful. I am relieved for him, as to see him in such a terrible state was heartbreaking- and hope there is a better place to which he has gone. Please excuse me if
I don't post for a few days-

Heavens! so so sorry! I hope that this was a release for him (not knowing the exact details). It doesn't make it any easier though and my sympathies are with you, having been touched by this myself.

Think of the nice bits not the end! he would be grateful for that, i am sure!

Best Wishes

Dear Heather,
I was so sad to hear this awful news yesterday. Do remember to look after yourself, and like Kate said, think of all your good times.

Sorry for phoning at such an inappropriate time last night. I felt awful for disturbing you. I'll be in touch later when you are feeling better about everything.

God bless,
Jane.

My thoughts too are with you. I hope there is a more peaceful place which gives release - and I believe that there surely must be one.

Dear Heather, please take some comfort that many care about you and your grief at this sad time.

Sweet is the sunlight that follows rain.
Blessed is the peace that follows pain.

So sorry to hear this sad news Heather, and my thoughts too are with you and your family at this difficult time.
I have no doubt that there is a 'better' place that our loved ones go when they are released from their suffering on earth.
I have recently lost two close friends to cancer so I know what a difficult time you are having, as the others have said, try to remember the good times.

Take great care of you,

I have made death a messenger of joy to thee. Wherefore dost thou grieve? I have made the light to shed on thee its splendour. Why dost thou veil thyself therefrom? Baha'u'llah.

My thoughts are with you, Lesley

Tim and I are so sorry to hear your very sad news. You must take comfort from the fact that you had managed to visit Norman and his family over these past few months and I'm sure they took pleasure in seeing you. Remember to look after yourself now and take time for yourself.

Take care.

Tim and Judy

[Heather]

Thank you all so much for your thoughts, prayers and general support. My one sadness is that I couldn't get over for the funeral, which was today at 9.0am- so quick, only 48hours after. There were no seats availbale on flights yesterday from airports that I could reach, and none early enough today to get me there in time.

So, I drove the ten miles to my favourite very quiet beach this morning,and although it rained a lot, it dried up enough for me to go for a long walk whilst the service and committal were taking place, and enabled me to think back to happier times.

So sorry for your loss Heather. My thoughts are with you.

[Hevz2001]

So sorry to hear of your loss, take time to grieve. Everyone here is thinking of you. Take care.

Heather

So very sorry to hear your news - it sounded beautiful what you did perhaps in a way even more meaningful than being at the service.

Thinking of you,

Vicki

[Wally]

I think the fact that you spend your own special time thinking of Norman means just as much as attending the funeral. Everyone understands the logistics of getting flights to busy airports, it's not easy.

We are all thinking of you, take care.

[Jo]

So sorry heather - I do know how you feel - my husband went the same way. Release is the word. God bless.

[JumperGirl]

We're all thinking of you.
Dont think of the loss, think of what you have gained from your time with him.

[Kay Emerton]

I have just returned from Italy and read your board. Im sorry like all the others to hear of your loss and nothing more can be said at such a time. We are all here, a small aspect of your life but here nevertheless. May the great work you do with horses and people give you strength at this time

Regards

Kay

[Heather]

I am coming to terms with the loss now. For the last ten years, Norman had also other problems, and his mental health could only be maintained by very strong medication, which I am sure, cannot be good for the rest of the body.

His quality of life had been very limited by his condition, and therefore, although it is hard to acknowledge, I know that in many ways Norman is better off out of his suffering.

My sincere thanks to all of you who have expressed support and condolences.

Dear Heather,

I have just returned from a holiday and have read your sad news. I can only imagine the mixture of emotions you must be experiencing right now. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Do take care of yourself.

Maire.
