Haven't been around lately...we farewelled my hubby's dad (91) yesterday after him having a stroke last week. Today it's been 5 months since his mum passed. We are sad but happy that they are both back together - it would have been their 70th wedding anniversary this August. The Dr said if he could write on his dad's death certificate that he died of a broken heart he would.

That's so sweet and so true. I'm glad they are reunited, but hard to lose two so close in time.. Blessings on you in this time.

Thank you for your thoughts.

Blessings on your entire family. Am sorry for your double loss. My friends celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary this last Sept and he passed on Dec 28th, 2013. Be thankful they are together as they should be and not as lost, alone and scared as she is by herself.

Thank you Leaha. Yes it would be hard for your friend to be still here by herself after all the time married. I feel she would have family/friends around her but it's not quite the same.

Sad for your family loss, but what a lovely Doctor! Hugs x

Yes a long time married, not many make it these days. We plan on having a family get together on their anniversary.

I know that you and your darling husband are feeling a great loss, but what a love story you have to tell of his parents. I'll be praying for you and your family.

Thank you jrob.

My deepest sympathy's to your family in loosing both parents so close to each other. I hear this so often, when one passes, its not long before the other does. After that many years, its hard to live without each other.
I am sure it was a broken heart.
Hugs Jerri

Thanks Jerri, yes it had been many years & I was surprised it didn't happen earlier.

So sad bu as you say they are together, . My prayer is that the Lord will let me live a little longer than my hubby so I can care for him to the end. . It hurts to lose both mom and dad but a consolation to know there will be no more pain nor sorrow for them/Lillian

That's for sure Lillian, no more pain for either of them. I guess your outcome is in the Lords hands as to what will happen.

It is certainly a sad time for you and your family. Your dad had an incredibly compassionate doctor.

My Fil was actually in care as dementia was setting in, but everyone noticed the change in him since my Mil passed.

My condolences to you and your family. Hugs Sarah

Thank Sarah.

Dear Tracey, how wonderful that they are now together and that your Father-in-law didn't have to linger with having a stroke. My heart is aching for your loss. God bless you both, love and blessings Chris

Thanks Chris. Yes lucky he didn't linger, he went to bed & just didn't wake up again. Hubby, two of his children & myself were actually there when Fil took his last breath.
