At the beginning of March my dear husband of 55 years died. His funeral is next week, sadly at the moment only 3 family members can attend. Please pray for my family, it is such a difficult time. Thankyou.

No idea why *RobiNO963's post was deleted??? It seemed straightforward to me.

Robi My heart goes out to you. Your husband was a generous man who gave his life for the greater good. Now you are alone. Without the comfort of your children and feeling such emotional pain because they could not be present at the funeral, and you are deprived of time in retirement with the man you love. The pandemic is making grieving so much more complicated. I feel so sad for you and for your family. Sending you flowers and kindest thoughts.

Thinking of you all who have lost a loved one . I do believe there's life after death and they will always be beside you, looking after you.. The 'soul' is what makes us different from animals.

I hope Anne's soul goes peacefully to her place 'up there'.
I'm not a catholic but believe that we all have the same resting place after after our troubles are over down here.
She did her best, as we all do. I'll pray for her.

Thinking of your fear sister Anne, I will pray for her tonight.

MarieEliza Mon 20-Jul-20 14:32:14

My sister Anne died in the early hours in a hospice. She had a difficult life and I would appreciate prayers as she was a devout Catholic

Thank you to everyone, I am taking one day at a time, and longing for the day when I can cuddle my grandchildren again. Many blessings to everyone.

I didn't see your post until today 18th April, Billybob. I am sorry for your loss and have added you and your family to my prayers.

I hope that next year you will perhaps be able to hold a memorial either in church or at home with those who would have liked to attend your husband's funeral.

TrendyNannie6 Thu 16-Apr-20 17:22:05

So very sorry to hear this Billybob ?

dragonfly46 Thu 16-Apr-20 16:32:17

So sorry to hear that Billybob. My thoughts are with you x

Carillion01 Thu 16-Apr-20 16:29:14

Dear Billybob, l send you love and prayers. I noticed a few days ago you took the time to send a very comforting post to a member who felt very undervalued.
I'm know how kind that was of you to do that at such a challenging time in your life.
Stay strong. Xxxxx ??

Billybob4491 Wed 15-Apr-20 17:12:28

Thank you all so much, at this distressing time your posts were very comforting.

MarieEliza Fri 03-Apr-20 12:07:31

The Pope has asked the whole world for prayer at 8 tonight so I will remember you Billybob at this time

Anniebach Wed 01-Apr-20 17:22:26

Thank you Billybob you will come through your pain, life can’t be as it was but there is still life, be kind to yourself ,x

Billybob4491 Wed 01-Apr-20 16:50:39

Thank you Anniebach, I have often read your posts and although we have never "spoken" I felt very sad when I read about your daughter.

Anniebach Tue 31-Mar-20 17:08:20

It is early days Billybob hold onto your beliefs x

Billybob4491 Tue 31-Mar-20 16:46:15

My husband's funeral took place yesterday. Three in attendance, my adult children and myself. Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes. He is now safely in the arms of Jesus, such is the power of prayer. Early days I know but I am trying to think positive.
