My husband,John, age 66 passed away last night, we think it was a massive heart attack because of all the medical problems he had. Gonna be hard, really hard on me and on the family and my boys. I never thought that he would go before me. I am lost and don't know what I am going to do. I can barely get down my steps to go outside, not sure if I can drive, have to talk to the doctors about that. I was restricted by them to drive before but it is my left leg that is the worst. That's it, nothing more I can say, no arrangements have been set up yet but it will be a short viewing and he will be cremated and I have donated his eyes, that is the only part of him they could use other than skin and bone and I turned that down.

Deb, I am so terribly sorry for your loss!! I lost 2 husbands, so I do know how hard and lonely it is. Just do your best. Organ donation is such a comfort, especially later on. Knowing that a grandfather saw his grandchildren for the very first time because of my Richard's eyes is one of the most comforting things ever. Keep going forward, friend, it's all you can do. I hope you can get some help, since you're not well yourself. Big Big hugs, Marji

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope things get better for you.
May God Bless and keep you safe.

I am very sorry for your loss. May God give you strength and comfort during this heartbreaking time.

We are very sorry for your loss...

Prayers going out to you and your family!

Hugs and prayers for you Debra and your family. Stay strong, as you are inspiration to me.

So sorry to hear - you will be in my prayers.

I'm so sorry. You have been such a cheerful face through all your trials. This is just something you never can prepare for. I am sure your friends and, family will all rally around you during this time. May the Lord bless and comfort you now even more

I am very sorry for your loss.My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, My thoughts are with you Berny

Debra, please check with agencies in your area for assistance with a vehicle fittings for hand equipment as you have trouble with your legs. LIFE (in Mississippi) has helped individuals that are in wheel-chairs to be independent in this respect. My prayers are with you and your family.
Our Father, I pray that you will enclose this family within your loving arms. Give them comfort and peace at this trying time. Give them knowledge and wisdom to handle all the things that will be coming their way in the future. May they see your light glowing in this darkness at this time. In Jesus holy name, I pray, Amen.
Please keep us updated.

Oh Dear Debra,
my heart aches for you and your family, you are in my thoughts and prayers (as always). Please take care of yourself as much as is possible in a situation like this
hugs

So very sorry to hear about your hubby Please accept my Sympathy
You and your family will be in my prayers
Hugs Brenda

Dear Debra, please accept my Sincere Sympathy. xxVicki

you & your family are in my thoughts & prayers. shocking news.

Oh, Debra. I can not tell you how sorry I am. God bless you, in your waking and in your sleep, in your sorrow and in your joy. This is just such a shock. The book of Hebrews tells us that we have a High Priest, Jesus, who understands what we are going through. He “sympathizes” with our weakness (Hebrews 4:15). We are not alone in our suffering and there are glory moments to be found in the dark if we will keep our eyes open to see. Sending you love and prayers and trusting the Lord to hold you up.

So very sorry to hear, Deb.... Praying the the Lord will give you the peace that passes all understanding to get through these hard times. Becky

sending love and prayers to you and your boys.. linda

Sorry to hear of your loss. I know how you feel, like someone tore half of you away. I lost my first husband 24 yrs. ago even though it doesn't seem anywhere near that. Just take one day at a time and you'll get through it. Rely on those you love and each will help each other through this.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I pray the God will wrap you in loving arms and comfort you. I pray he will lead through the pain.

Hugs
Doreen

Dear Deb, My sincere condolences to you and your boys. I pray the Lord will give you strength and courage for this trying time in your life. May you receive comfort and love. You will have the prayers of all your cute sisters and the loving thoughts that go with them. Hugs, Mary

my thoughts are with you, so sad. I hope you can find peace.

My thoughts are with you.

Oh my goodness, Deb. What a shock for you. I guess going fast beats a lot of alternatives but doesn't give you any mental preparation time at all. I'm so sorry for your loss and will be thinking of you as you battle through yet another challenge in your life. You've already proven how strong you can be, so I know you will get through this as well.

I am very sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I wish you strength through God.

My prayers for you and your family. I know anything I could say will not
begin to cover the loss of your husband. However, I do know that it is God that sustains us when we can go no further. May he bless you with strength and when you look down and see only two footprints you will know he has carried you..

Deb, My heart is breaking for you . I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Please know my thought s and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Susan

Dearest Deb,

I've just come upstairs as I couldn't sleep (100% humidity already!!!) and came on to Cute. To say I am shocked beyond belief is an understatement and I've been crying the whole time reading all the pouring out of sympathy for you at this time. I too am at a loss for words to comfort you, but know you have the love and support of hundreds of women and men on here who have been supporting you through prayer in what you personally have been going through.

It's such a magnificent act that John has done by donating his eyes, for they are the windows to your soul.

I pray that you and your boys will be of great strength and comfort to each other during the coming days. Prayers for you too to "rest" up. I too wish I could be there with you to hold you, be a shoulder to cry on and just be. May God walk beside you at your time of need and may you feel him close by.

Love and blessings and continued prayers for you all, Chris

I'm very sorry for your loss. This will be an extremely hard time for you. Please know that the Cuties will always be here for you.

I am very sorry ... a big hug...

Dear Debbie, I am so sorry to hear about your husband's passing. May God grant you the strength to cope and even more courage to go forward. I am keeping you in my prayers. God bless!! Lovies.

I am so sorry, my heart hurts for you. It's 10 years this April for me. Just take it one day at a time. Jo

So sorry Deb, such a shock. I hope you can get out and about in time and things become easier. Jan

Thinking of you with thoughts and prayers.

Very sorry, I know how it is hard to be be alone suddently. You have to think to share much love with you family
You have my thoughts, prayers and loves

I'm so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family. May God give you strength and comfort. Reva

So very sorry. Hugs, and yes...love and prayers also.

I am so sorry to hear this. My prayers will be with you and your family. My husband turns 67 today and we live on borrowed time because of his medical problems. I will go home and give him a big hug. Know that you have Cuties thinking about you over the next days!

I am so very sorry to hear this, I am in shock. You already have so much on your plate. Everyone has given you such wise advice. Read these messages of love from your Cute Family often and let them help lift you up in a terrible time of sorrow. God be with you. You will be together again.

Debra, what very sad news. I am thinking about you

OH Debra, I am so very sorry, I am so stunned to read your terrible news. Oh my dear friend I wish I could give you more than my words of sympathy and empathy. I have been there before and the devastation of losing your mate, your beloved, your life partner, is beyond compare.
I imagine the thoughts you must be having, how could this be?
I know you have probably already thought that perhaps it is HIS way of making the journey easier for you, even though it doesn't make it easier for you just now. You are a strong lady, you will come through this and in time you may even think that perhaps it was meant to be this way. I say this with great love and the deepest conviction that there is a hereafter and our loved ones are waiting for us there.
I know none of my words helps make this any easier and I am rambling on because I am so shocked that this has happened.
I wish I could be there to support you and help you, but all I have is my beliefs and my words and my deep affection for you.
I am sending my prayers and my love and my heartfelt sympathy.
I am here if you feel the need to talk. I don't know what else I can do.
your friend Meg

God Bless in your time of need .

I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family.

So sorry, I personally know how you feel my husband passed away in 2003. I will pray for you and your family, hold on to the Lord and He will help I know that. Hugs and blessings.

I was shocked to read this today. I am so sorry. I thought you had enough on your plate and now you lose your husband. Please stay strong. Hugs, Cathy

So sorry for your loss.

My prayers are with you and your family.

I've been there and it's incredibly hard. So proud you made the decision to help someone else by donating at a terribly hard moment. This one act for me was so reassuring as time went on. When you feel terribly sad or lonesome, write down some of your memories of your time with him. Then you can read them when sad! And your children will treasure the notebook later. Cry all the tears you need to. Be alone if that's what you need. Be with crowds of friends if that's what you need. Everyone's different. Be kind to yourself. He is still beside you - the fellowship of the saints. God bless you as you establish yourself in this new life.

P.S. It's been 13 years for me, and God blessed me with a new husband. That I didn't expect!
I took the life insurance money and bought a wheelbarrow and the lifetime dream concert piano and threw myself into "flower therapy" and "music therapy". So much cheaper than a therapist. Hopefully your sewing can serve for your therapy!

I am so sorry for you loss
your strength will come from the Lord

Deb,
So very sorry for your loss. You have been through so much and need more support and prayers....they are coming your way. Just wish we were close so I could help you out.
Tonya aka stork

So sorry I personally know how you feel..been there

I am so sorry for you

My dear Deb, I am so sorry for your loss. There is no way to express to you - the feelings I have for you in your hour of need - if there were anything that I could do for you - I would - I will be praying that your needs are met and that you will receive the help that you need to take care of you - I am so glad to hear that you have arranged for John to help others and that you will have a him cremated and I do hope that your boys will step up to assist you - I know your folks will be there as much as they can. I wish that we would have exchanged phone numbers. I love you my dear.

I am so sorry.

I send love and strength to help you through, take one day at a time. I Pray for you and your family.
Hugs Pam

I am so sorry to hear this! I am very sure that it will be hard mentally and physically on you! Keep your head up and remember that the Lord is in control and He will see you through all of this. Will keep you in my prayers! Remember, one day at a time! The Lord will get you through!!!!

As EggieAnnie said, take some "me" time. None of us can fully understand what you are going through right now, but know that prayers are going out for you and your family. I hope that soon the pain will ease and the happy memories you shared will comfort you.

A hug for you Leenova I wish i lived near you to help you Its strange that women are always refered to as the weaker sex Yet when hard times come along its the weaker sex that take over the reins and keep plodding onward. I pray your God will give you the strength to continue to live yr life and that you will have lots of friends and family who will help support you during this hard time.
Take some "Me" time to rest up and allow the body to recoup some energy.
It is so kind of you to allow some one else to benefit at this time and to give that wonderful gift of sight to a total stranger, i know they will be so glad to be enabled to see their loved ones again That is a wonderful and kind thing to do

May the good Lord hold you in His tender mercies...

Oh, my dear friend, I am so very, very sorry, and you have my heartfelt sympathy! You have my constant prayers for strength through this
difficult situation. The Lord will supply your needs, Debra. He has
for a long time now. Just think upon all the good times you and John shared with each other and family, of the great team you and he were to muster through all the hard times together. He is smiling confidently from heaven right now, knowing what a wonderfully tough lady you are, and that you will carry on with that same strong determination still! May the Lord lift you up at this moment, and grant you a special peace with John's passing. You have wonderful memories to sustain you in the days to come, and a sweet guardian angel to watch over you as you regain your stamina and strive ahead.
No words can convey how I truly feel right now, but, Debra, know you are loved and cared about by so many!!! We're always here for you at any time!
Love you SO very much!
Angel

Prayers that God will take care of you and help you find your way thru this.

Condolences to you and your family.
I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love.

So sorry to hear about your loss. Will be uplifting you in prayer and others as well here on Cute - one big loving and caring family! Hugs to you.
