FOR WILMA

Some of you who drop in here for virtual coffee have also shared that beverage with our Canadian friend Wilma, also known as Jade Angel. (See "Wilma's Word" in my blog list in the sidebar.) I was shocked and saddened to learn her dearly loved husband Tim passed away suddenly this last Thursday. She asked me to let you know, just in case you hadn't stopped in there lately. Here is the link for Wilma's beautiful tribute post. There is also a link there to Tim's obituary.

Wilma, words are so inadequate but please know there are a lot of folks who care deeply about you. There are chains of light and love directed at you from points all around this globe. May that help give you strength.

My deepest sympathies to Wilma. I lost my husband quickly like that, too. It's an awful shock. I pray that her family and friends support her in the coming months. The first year is the hardest, but it takes time. I was still bruised and sensitive for quite a while. What it took for me was a change of focus for my life, but I couldn't engineer it; it needed to come naturally.

Thanks, Dee.

I just can't imagine what I would do. Another blogger watched her husband each day before he died and it is still hard for her. So I don't really think one is prepared either.

It's hard, no matter what. Fast or slow, no matter how well you've braced yourself, you're never really *ready* for the blow. If we're going to love, we have to expect the pain sooner or later. That's why friends are so necessary. We buffer each other. I hope.
