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.

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

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

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 ??

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.

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

Grannyben Mon 20-Jul-20 14:56:24

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

Fennel Mon 20-Jul-20 17:24:39

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 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.

Deepest sympathy Billybob. May his soul Rest In Peace.
Such a sad time for you, & you are being very brave.

Are you spamming this thread? sad
I'm hoping not, despite the link.

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.

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