Husband passed this morning at 6:15-Hospice was called and she in turn called our funeral director-
We had a very rough night with his breathing and death rattle-He became unresponsive through the day and non verbal that progressed at an alarming rate.
We meet with the funeral director again this afternoon to make arrangements-family has been informed and my daughter is managing the phone calls. I'm numb and very tired-my heart pounding-I made myself a cuppa tea and will sit in the quiet before all that comes with preparing with arranging the details when someone passes. I realize this is all a natural process of death-but you don't really know what happens and how you will respond until it happens-and it's something that everyone will have to deal with eventually which in a way is comforting.
Please continue to pray for strength for my family in the next weeks and months -Thank you ladies for ALWAYS being there for me. Love Mel |

Melody,
So very sorry. You are right about not knowing till it happens. Grieving is a gift and a way to keep the memories going. May God be with you and comfort you in the way that only he can. I am praying for you and your family.

Oh, sweet, Mel, I’m so very sorry for your loss. My heart is broken for you and your family. You will be in my prayers. So wish I lived closer to you so I could come and hug you. I know you are overwhelmed at all that needs to be done. Once things settle some what, please reach out to me. I will be happy to do what I can to help. Sending so much love and prayers.
