The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsMy dear DU friends,
I haven't been very active on the forum for awhile, because Mr. Banana (My dear George) has been ill.
He passed away early this morning, peacefully and pain free, for which I will be eternally grateful.
This place has always been a place where I could share things, a place that always has had a kind word.. and I could use a cyberhug.

(9,126 posts)The fact that your dear husband passed on peacefully and without pain is something we all hope for our loved ones. That you were able to show your love and care for him is also something I hope you can hold on to in your time of grief. It is always the hardest thing, saying adieu for now, but I am sure that he would want more than anything for you to take care of yourself, to rest and to heal. I wish you the very best and if you ever need to just talk about anything, I'm sure we'd all love to listen.

i hope there are friends and relatives that can give you much help, support, and comfort. no matter how prepared we think we are...
love transcends our physical bodies--it is our spirit, our soul. love does not stop or end or die when our hearts no longer beat. love is the thread--the link--that holds us together across the dimensions.
wishing you an abundance of peace and comfort as you begin this journey.
