@turtle115- I thought about you all day yesterday. My most heartfelt condolences on the loss of Andrew. What wonderful memories after 56 years you must have. I hope that as time goes on that you will remember them and take comfort in them. Please take care of yourself now and I hope that you will stay in touch.

Hello @turtle115

Please accept my condolences on the passing of Andrew. He was undoubtedly a very fine, loving man. I know you are glad to know that his pain and suffering are over but I'm also sure that your grief is very real.

You will fondly remember the 56 years you had together with a mixture of happiness and sadness. The mixture of feelings is normal.

In my area, funerals are being limited to only close family members, and often a memorial service is planned for after the social distancing restrictions are passed. I'm sure this must be true for you as well.

When you feel comfortable doing so, please feel free to tell us something about Andrew and share with us how you met, what he was like, his strengths and weaknesses. I and our other members, would enjoy getting to know him.

Will you be able to have your children with you now or are they restricted from coming to see you at this time?

@turtle115 Sending you a gentle hug [virtually] in this period of immense emotion. Each hour that passes may bring a new challenge to get through. But you will, I have no doubt. And there is no doubt, when reading your words, of the love you and Andrew shared. Relief from pain and suffering is what we strive for when faced with the situation you experienced. We're here for you even now. Share an amusing moment from your lives together with us, and smile as we will when we read the words.
