Truly, I thank God for this program and that I had the courage to change.
My wonderful, loving husband died this past Monday, suddenly of a massive heart attack.
He IS the love of my life, the support of my family, my best friend, and the most generous, faith filled person I have ever known.
I know that we will all make it through this stressful, grieving time,( many times a day I pray for this and trust it to be true) and I also know that having completed this program a couple of years ago was a tremendous gift from God and is helping all of us.
At times, many times a day, I still expect my love to come walking through the door or to call me to say hello and chat and probably will continue to do this for quite some time. I cry a lot and talk to God and also to my hubby and give the kids a zillion hugs a day.
I miss him so much it physically makes my stomach hurt and my heart ache, but I'm OK..
I know, this too shall pass - the pain, and my beautiful memories will carry on, as will my love for this most amazing man.
I was so blessed to have my time with my husband and have so many comforting, happy memories.
Again, thank God I had the courage to change and that my coping skills are 100% better than they were a few years ago.
I have hope and I feel very loved even though my heart feels broken and my home is much too quiet right now.

Hugs to all.

That is beautiful, Cindylou!

Thank you for sharing that wonderful love story.

I do know that your heart is breaking. And I say a silent prayer for you.

However. Yours is a story of enduring faithfulness. Those memories will never die as you have said.

You, yourself, are a shining example to others.

God bless you!!!
