It comes down to love

Friday, January 07, 2011

This blog title is for all of you because truly could I ever feel more loved right now. I am severely broken and that is okay right now but I will soar because my husband has taught me how.

Let me say just a few things because it is midnight and I am so not functional right now. I am working very hard inside trying to build my strength to get up and do my husbands eulogy at the church on Monday. There is so much to say and it can only come from me. I ask alll of you to help me get the strength to "one more time" show my husband how much I love him. My son is going to stand with me for support and I thank god - he is not doing well at all with Bern's death and speaking wouldn't be an option for him. It isn't for me either but I am absolutely compelled.

My husband and I had a love that is on a completely different level or plane than any traditional married relationship. I was loved in a way that can never be repeated. I feel so blessed to have had the privilege to be loved by this man and he has given me gifts that are priceless. If I can write and get through the eulogy then I will write it in a blog so that I can share with you my tribute to my beautiful husband.

I love you all so very much and this outpouring of love and support has done more for me than you can ever know. A simple thank you surely is not enough and yet it is meaningful in every way.

    You are going to do just fine. Bernie will be with you in spirit the whole time, holding your hand along the way. I know my husband was when I gave his eulogy. I prayed for strength and I asked him to give it to me. He certainly answered my prayer and I felt his energy holding me up the entire time. Your dear Bernie will do the same for you. God Bless you. emoticon emoticon

    May your words be as a song of the love and life you shared. As notes portray highs and lows may your words portray the symphony of your love and lives. God has well gifted you in expressing yourself on your blogs and may His strength pour over you as you give the eulogy. God Bless You

    Karen,

Bern will be right there listening and smiling and loving you all the while. You do not need to worry about the words, they will come and flow freely because they will pour from your heart.

Try not to think of it as a eulogy, but a loving tribute to the love of your life. Let it be a testament to all who are present of the unconditional and special love you both shared not only for now, but through all eternity. Let it be a declaration and a celebration of your love and a life that was lived to the absolute fullest as only God would wish.

Know that the angels are smiling upon you and your family now, and that they will carry you through these difficult days.

Bern would not want you to grieve. He would want you and your family to be comforted that his struggle has ended and that he is no longer fighting and in pain, but is in peaceful bliss, in one with All That Is.

With much love,
Sharon

    I believe you will be given the words to say what you need to share. It's awesome that your son will stand with you. The tears are okay, this is all normal, as you know. One day at a time, one step at a time...and the cyber hugs and prayers for you and your family will continue.

    I am so sorry for your loss.

Having been married for many years to a wonderful man myself, I can understand how difficult things are for you at this time. Losing the love of one's life is very difficult I believe.

If you express yourself as well as you have through your blogs, then the world will know the depth of your feeling.

My best to you at this time.

Helen

    I know the words you say about your husband will be so well received. He was a wonderful man from what you have said. I'm sure there are so many wonderful things he did and said and you'll think of so many in the next few days. I know you will do great because you love him and want to honor him. God will be with you and help you stay strong. Take care of yourself as best as you can. You know how important your health is and how yucky you can feel if you neglect it. You feel bad enough as it is. I'm still praying for you. Much love and hugs. -Jennifer emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon
