sherry said… yes Nancy my husband passed from PC in February last year 4 months after diagnosis. He was 47. Thank you for your friend request. It gave me a smile to see you reach out to me. I too am sorry for your loss.
Paula Rene said… Hi Nancy, I am sorry for your loss. I appreciated what you said on the "born in the 50's site" and responded to your comment. I hope we can help each other through this. My story is a lot like yours in that I had a terrible first marriage and only intended to be "friends" with the man who became my second husband. We joked about our "religious" differences. I was a conservative Methodist and he was what I called a "Holy Roller" w/an Assembly of God background. My husband died at 62 after heart surgery and diabetes related problems. My life has been a living hell ever since b/c we thought we had our estate in order but his son from his first marriage has sued me in 4 lawsuits and I have spent my life savings defending myself. I have won the first 3 and even though I get judgments, I will never recover the moneys wasted.
I would just like to be able to move on now and have a life but I am stuck here until these lawsuits end and my health improves.

Jan said… Hi Nancy,
It is my understanding is the same about being able to hear and in a coma. I know he would have loved the idea and made him feel good and knew he was loved. You did a great thing. I had a Rabbi tel me that the body is but a casing, it is the spirit (the soul) that lives on and he is here in another form looking over you. What makes our being is the gifts we left behind and the joy we have in our heart for our loved ones.
Jewish teachings have always been of comfort to me, the songs, melodies, and traditions. If you get a chance check out youtube for songs by Debbie Friedman such as

and her version of Psalm 30

ENJOY and looking to get your thoughts.
Take Care and Be Well
