Ben left me 8/26/09 at 3pm EST.
He passed peacefully, quietly, at rest, with me telling him "I love you" until I saw no more respirations.

Oh Kathy......I am so sorry. I know that hurts. Hon, he hasn't left you....he is right there with his arms wrapped lovingly around you....he is just not suffering anymore. He will be by your side and looking after you until you see him again one day in Heaven.
Sending you a great big cyberhug. I will keep you in my prayers. |

My heart sank when I saw the title and author of this thread.
Kathy, please know that I am praying for God to comfort you during this time. Ben was so lucky to have you, and I know he heard every "I love you" that you said.
Hugs,
tp

Kathy,
I'm so sorry to read the news about Ben. He sure gave it a good fight and you were in his corner the whole way. God bless you and God bless Ben as he begins his next great adventure.
Lean on your angels for strength. ^i^ They're always there when you need them.

Kathy, you have my deepest sympathy in the loss of your Ben. I have been keeping up pretty well on your posts of late. Even when you know it is coming, it is hard. I agree with everyone that posted here. Like Pbj said, take care of yourself. I will pray God comfort you at this time. Time will ease the pain. Don't hesitate to post here for the support you may be needing.
