my darling husband

[roxane]

passed away on wednesday morning after fighting cancer for two years.

we knew it was terminal. we were told 3 weeks ago that he had a few months, then weeks. on monday i was told a few days. by then Ade had said he didnt want anymore treatment, just let him go, he was in pain and exhausted.

he went through more painful treatment than anybody should have to bear and all to no avail. he was a very brave man and barely complained. he fought it with an inner strength that astounded me. many people are shocked as they didnt really see him at his worst during chemo and radiotherapy.

i am at the moment, numb. occasional tears from nowhere. i know this wont last and i will crumble some time. i dream that he gets better and we have a little more time, then i wake up. sleep is not a comfort or escape from this hell that is my reality.

these last two years, we have been in a whirlwind together. now i am in the quiet centre on my own. soon the other side of the whirlwind will be upon me, on my own.

Dearest Roxane,
I am at a loss for words. I am so very sorry for you having to say good bye to your husband and friend. He must have been very brave to bear all his pain for the past two years. He was brave for you because he loved you.
All I can do for you from here is think about you, pray for you and send the most heartfelt good vibes I can muster. We all love you.
Lori

Roxane, I am so sorry. Nothing can be said to alleviate your pain.

My father in law (who I was very close to) also died of cancer a few years ago. He was always a gracious, elegant and generous man. It killed me inside to watch him suffer (and never complain), losing his dignity with all that chemo and gosh whatever else they did. Nobody should have to go through that. I am still grieving and the image of him at our wedding, giving a speech in his charming and natural way, will never leave me. Please try to keep the memories of before the suffering. They will live longer. They will eventually make you smile. But you do have to grieve, too. Just let it go. There is no other way.
