He was the most wonderful loving man, Christian, father, husband, best friend, and soul mate a wife could ever want or wish for. December 4th would have our been our 43rd anniversary. We went to Hospice yesterday afternoon…and by 1:10 am. the angels took him to heaven, no more pain for him. Something (God) woke me up 10 minutes before he passed. What a blessing. I will miss him so much, my heart is broken…but he is pain free, and Melanoma has him no more!!
Take Care,
Sherron, wife to Jim FOREVER!

Sherron, my thoughts & prayers are with you. Jim is indeed free from this disease now, and that is a blessing. If you find yourself wanting to talk to a fellow caregiver in the coming weeks or months, please email me.
May your faith and your friends sustain you through the tough times, and may his memory bless you.

Guess I had better proof better. "I am so sorry, Sherron" or "I am so sorry about Jim". Both would have been better than what I actually wrote. However, the sentiment is still the same. I am sorry you are dealing with this, Sherron. Please don't be a stranger here.

Dear Sherron,
I'm sorry melanoma has taken another loved one. Having lost Buddy less than a month ago to melanoma (after 43 years of marriage) I know the sorrow you're dealing with tonight. I can't tell you it gets easier, but I can tell you I'll keep you in prayer.
God Bless,
Nancy

I am glad he got the quality time he so wanted in these last years, and that you were able to be awake with him during his final minutes before his heavenly roll call was announced, and that his passing was as pain free as possible as well.
On the 4th, I hope you will be able to still smile and say happy melanoma free anniversary to him.
My condolences to you and your family.

I guess there is not alot to say except how deeply sorry I am for you and your upcoming days ahead. Please know others are praying for God to give you strength and peace through this time of sorrow. As others have said he is pain-free now. No pills, no pain, no treatments. Wishing you well during this time of sorrow.

I'm so sorry Sherron – but what a blessing to have such a good man for 43 years! Thankfully he passed peacefully and with you by his side. Nothing can minimize the pain of his loss but I hope your faith and Jim's spirit will help you through these difficult days.
Sincere sympathy,

Sherron,
Thank you for sharing your life with us on this discussion board. You have been a very brave soul in my very humble opinion, you denied Jim nothing but gave him absolute unconditional love and care. What more could anyone ask for? There must be a vast empty void left behind right how, like a part of you is gone. I hope the light fills that space for you and that the 43 years of love you two had will now surround your heart in total healing. Peace to you Sherron, for Jim is free now as he never was when his feet were planted on this earth.
From caregiver to another,

Sherron,
I am so sorry that you lost the love of your life. I don't really know how to comfort you otherwise as I am still trying to figure out how to comfort myself after losing my husband 6 months ago. Just know there are several people on this board and off of it, that love you and your family and will be here as a shoulder to cry on or lend an ear. If you ever want to talk please just let me know. [email protected]. I don't get on often but have been following you and your husbands story for a while. Thank you for sharing that with all of us.
