Sharon xxxxx Sun, 19 Sep 2010 10:23:49 GMT benlisecca 2010-09-19T10:23:49Z https://onlinecommunity.cancercouncil.com.au/t5/Coping-with-a-loved-one-s-cancer/Love-of-my-life-has-passed-away/m-p/4887#M619 On Tuesday, 17 August 2010, my whole world fell apart. My husband, Tony (47) the love of my life and father of our 3 beautiful children (26, 22 & 20), lost his 4 year battle with colorectal cancer. He fought a long and hard battle but finally succumbed to this horrible disease last Tuesday at the Mater Hospice in Waratah surrounded by his loving family. I miss him so much. I cant even contemplate life without him. I'm taking 1 day at a time. I have lots of family and friends around supporting and helping me but its the little triggers, sitting and having tea and he is no longer sitting beside me............walking past the things I bought especially for him while grocery shopping.................. watching his favourite tv shows ............caring for him........................ We were married for 27 years, we were very rarely apart. I know I'll get thru this in time, and they say every day gets easier.................I HOPE SO. To those on the cancer rollercoaster I'm sending my love and best wishes to you. Linda.

Hopefully someday soon when you sit and have your tea, you will look to the empty space beside you and smile and feel a warmth in your heart as you lovingly remember your Tony and the precious gift that your love and life together was. My thoughts are with you. Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die.
