Jason's Dream

Hey Becca, Just wanted you to know I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving. Do the best you can, I know it's very hard for you this year. I will be thinking of you Give the kids extra whipped cream on their pie.They deserve it

Hey Becca. Just wanted to check in and see how you and the kids are doing. I know how it feels as the numbness wears off... just know we all still love you and are here for you.

Hugs
Katie

You poor thing. I know the pain is bigger then you right now, everyday that goes by the pain gets a little less and you get a little stronger. Time heals all wounds is a bunch of crap. You have spent all your time being Jason's wife, bestfriend, nurse / caregiver & love of each others lives and of coarse you are also a full time mom. Jason would want you to celebrate your lives together, your beautiful child that was made with sooo much love, Jason will never be forgotten.He would want to to be relieved he is not suffering anymore.He don't want you to be depressed and sad,but happy you even found each other, you will always be soul mates and will be together one day . ,I know it's hard to carry on but you have to do it. Do something that makes you happy. Hot bath and a glass on wine does wonders. A Sunday mass is always good,I am sure you can pick up your heels and be a great full time mom. You are such a giving wonderful person who has given it all, YOU ARE MY HERO

you will be fine, all things work out in time.

Becca you aren't a hero in your own eyes as you loved Jason and would do anything for him. But from my 63 yr. old perspective you are indeed very special as I have known so many people who have no inner strength and would not do what you did. You feel empty now for good reason. I have not lost a spouse so I can't know what you are feeling. I have lost parents and close friends and the pain was dreadful, but we are here for you during these next empty weeks ahead. A huge hug to you Becca.

My best friend just lost his wife Friday night, she was sick for a while, not ALS. I too will leave a young widow, and I sure hopes she has the courage to live the rest of her life out for her. I would hate to know that she was so grief stricken that she couldn't. Take the time you need to grieve, and then you owe it to your children, Jason and yourself to live a full and wonderful life. A big hug to you.

The reason I say you are strong...look at what all you have seen about and done in the past year, all that and seeing about a baby and another little one. People said that about me too when I cared for my first husband until he passed with cancer, you do what you have to do, even when you are crying and numb inside, and yes scared too. It is normal to feel what you feel Becca, and to be mad at God too..I was, and still am going through this.. If you need someone to talk to, I would be a good listener, and send you my#. Hugs!!

Becca you have shown that you have strength while caring for Jason. We have read on the forum about spouses who bailed on their PALS when things got tough. You stood with Jason through all of the horrors of the disease. I think it is very natural to feel lost and adrift now, but also I think you will need some help to deal with your loss and grief. Keep talking to us and make sure you don't just shut down which will be a natural tendency too. You are a hero and need to tell yourself that over and over.

Becca take all the support you can get--including the minister being there for taking Jason's bed. You are going to be exhausted and in shell shock for some time to come. Lean on anyone who offers help. You deserve some TLC. You have lived through a battle and now are going to have post traumatic stress. With the little ones counting on you, you need to just suck up whatever help is offered to you. Lots of love to you.
Laurel

You are stronger than you think, you have proven that, now go forward...of course you are going to grieve, but you will figure it out I promise, and we will always be here for you.

Me too Becca--I saw your light on. A big hug to you tonight.
Laurel
