{{{Jasdip}}}, I just saw your post. I'm so, so sorry. I'm grateful for both of you he had good care and was in no pain, relaxed, and peaceful. You are in my thoughts dear lady.

My sincerest condolences on your loss. Tom's at peace now. I hope and pray that you find peace and solace.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry. Take comfort in the peaceful passing and the beautiful life you had together and the memories that will always be with you.

I'm so sorry Jasdip. I don't have anything to say that hasn't been said....but will be thinking of you in the days ahead....may you find peace that you helped Tom through his illness and passing. He was a lucky man!

I’m so sorry. I’m glad hospice was there to help both of you. I loved how the wonderful people on the KT fixed up the picture for you. It turned out great!

I am so sorry for your loss! My thoughts are with you today.

Praying for strength and peace in your heart.

My condolences, praying for strength for you.

Thinking of you, jasdip.

jasdip, so sorry to hear about your loss.

Hospice is a wonderful organization. My husband, George, was with them for 8 years in Northern VA. He was part of the first team that was started and was proud of all they accomplished. I got to know all the nurses who worked with him and you couldn't ask for better professionals.

A big hug to you.

I am so sorry for the loss of your sweet Tom. Please know that this fellow Canadian is holding you in her heart and wishing you courage and comfort as you navigate this path that none of us are ever fully preparted to go down,

I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Jasdip, I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you comfort and solace.

Sorry for your loss. Remembering you and your family in prayers.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to read of your husbands passing. May you find comfort and joy in your memories of your life together.

Jas, I'm just checking in on you - let us know how your doing.

Hi all. You have no idea how much your condolences and sentiments mean to me. I treasure every single comment.

I have good days and bad days of course. It seems to be every-other day. The other day I heard Stevie Wonder's rendition of Blowin' in the Wind on the radio. Hubby knew that I don't care for SW, except for that song. I very seldom hear it on the radio, maybe once or twice in a couple of years. So when it played, that was a wee sign from my sweetie.

Today I brought his ashes home, and they're here on his little memorial table. I plan on scattering them. Right now I'm looking for a little keepsake urn or necklace of sorts to put a few of his ashes in.

In his obit I mentioned him being part of this year's Ride for Dad for prostate cancer, and they were very appreciative and touched that they were mentioned.

Of course, he's very much missed, but knowing that I'll never see him again is really killing me. This is going to take a while........

Huge hugs to you all.

Hugs to you too (((Jasdip))). Thinking of you.

Big hugs to you.

Thinking of you, Jasdip. Yes, getting use to being without Tom physically there will take a while. Please be kind to yourself and don't push yourself into trying to meet any set timeline in going through the stages of grief. You will complete each stage as your body, heart, and mind is ready to do so. Take care of yourself,

You can continue your relationship with him. Talk to him. I had a rector tell me that. I was already doing it and never stopped. It's not so much a religious thing, it is a private choice. I'm never alone.

Huge hugs to you all.

Back-atcha dear one. My heart is with you today, more than usual.

Jas. if you are near a craft store such as Hobby Lobby, they sell little vials that are used in necklace crafts. This link will show you what I'm talking about. People put all kinds of treasures in them. If you go this route and want to share your creation, we'd love to see it! I hope today is a better day - they can all be tough, but keeping engaged with others helps soothe the pain.

Hugs right back to you Jas. We are here for you if you need to talk or not.

if you go kayjones' route, I found out, the hard way, that the cork needs some really strong glue to hold it on. What finally worked was exterior, clear, window caulk :)

E6000 glue works well, also.

Thinking of you, Sherry, and hope that things are going as well as can be expected.

You'll be so thankful that the wonderful people at Hospice were able to be of great help to you both at your time of great need, helping to make his passing into the great beyond gentle, peaceful and with minimal pain.

Get some rest and take it easy on yourself as you get used to this new life - as someone said, take some time to recharge your batteries.

I'd like to come for a visit, if and when it may be convenient ... let me know where to go.

(((((Sherry and family)))))

ole joyful

Joyful, that is so kind of you!

The funeral home may have a small selection of necklaces for ashes, and I know they can be found on line, as my SIL got hers on line. She didn't like any the funeral home had, so they told her to go on line to see if she could find one she liked, and they would put the ashes in for her when she received it. She is very happy with hers. Hugs.

Jasdip I have been thinking about you. I always liked this picture of y'all. It would be a good choice for a locket and a tiny sealed packet of ashes tucked behind the picture.

Ashes lockets, do a Google search for that.

Thank you for taking the time to check in with all of us here at the Table. I've thought of you often. And you're so right that it takes a long time.

I've decided on this one. It isn't the traditional heart and it doesn't have the cylinder pendant. It doesn't jump out as being a memorial necklace.

Necklace

Jas, I too was hoping you’d provide an update as to how you are doing. I think the necklace is beautiful. Etsy has some pretty options as well. (((Hugs)))

Jasdip - I've been thinking of you everyday. Warm thoughts and big hugs to you.

Oh that's a beautiful one. Good choice.

Very nice.

Sherry, my dear friend, I haven't been around much for a while and checking in tonight to see this truly sad news. My sincerest condolences to you. I'm here if there's anything I can do. Send an email if you like. I know you're busy so don't feel any obligation. Take things at your own pace. My best wishes go to you.

The necklace you chose is beautiful. I like that the chain looks sturdy.
