Re: The Love of my Life
Hi Everybody,
Thank you, each of you, for your kind words.
Time is tight for me right now, but I have managed to keep up with the messages as they arrived via Greg's blackberry, so even though I haven't been able to log on to the site, I have seen and read them as they've arrived.
I just wanted to let you know we are all doing really well, I will write more detail later once the memorial service has been and gone and I have some time on my hands.
Things are all quite crazy just at the moment, and I know that once all the 'necessary stuff' has been done, I will probably fall in a hole and I'll be coming here to share my thoughts with you all.
In the meantime, know that I appreciate your messages, and to those who have sent private messages, just don't have the time to respond individually. I know you all understand.
Greg is not sufferring anymore and that is the best thing for us all. We know that he is at peace.
Talk again soon,
Jill

Angelic Jill,
Beautiful heart and kindred spirit. No more suffering on his part. He is dancing free on the clouds with the angels, filled with health and spiritual life. Just remember that the love never dies. The body may, but never the love.
Sending you love and light

Re: The Love of my Life
Hi Jill
I was so sorry to hear about Greg's passing. I felt a deep sadness for you and your boys. You have given me and so many others such good advice for such a long time now and shared your feelings and your life with us while you have also been struggling. I hope we can be here for you and help you in the months ahead as you go through the difficult times. You are an amazing woman - I hope as others have said that there are people in your life who can support you and give you the hugs you need right now.
Take care Jill.
My sympathy and love to you and your boys,
Willow xo
Re: The Love of my Life
Dear Jill,
I feel a deep sadness for you and your family.
Over the months you have written words of compassion to so many. Your words have shown you to be a lady possessing grace, dignity, courage and great love for her family. I deeply respect you.
Words can’t take away the pain for you but I hope that you can take some comfort from the many heartfelt messages written here for you. You have touched the lives of so many.
You are in my thoughts.
Take care.

Re: The Love of my Life
Mrs Elton,
I have read your words over the last few months of my own battle with cancer and been amazed and strengthened by your strength, resilience, your love for your family. I jumped on today to see how you were and words cannot express my sadness and sympathy for you. So I will just say, I admire you. My energy and love comes across to cyber pages to try and buoy you in this extremely difficult time as you have done for many of us over the months.

Re: The Love of my Life
Dear Mrs Elton,
I know words cannot take away the immense pain that must be in your heart right now but that is all i have to give.
Like everyone else my heart is with you & your boys & all my sympathy goes out to all of you.
Cherish your beautiful loving memories Jill & never forget & be proud of how loving, caring & strong you have been for Greg throughout his entire illness. You have been so selfless & have somehow found the strength to cope with constantly looking after Greg & still be a beautiful devoted mother to your boys.
He is out of his pain now Jill & i know you will carry on & find inner strength for the sake of your children.
Big cyber hugsss to you & your precious boys,

Re: The Love of my Life

I am (as others are) very sorry to hear of your loss. I am sure Greg was appreciative of the way in which you have supported and cared for him during his illness. You have been amazing. Being a partner to your husband and a mother to your children and then trying to deal with your own things.
My thoughts are with you and the boys.
Sending you strength, compassion and any other trait that you may need that i have to share.
Cyber hugsss

Re: The Love of my Life
Dear Mrs Elton,
I am new here on this journey that began in March with my partner's diagnosis of rectal cancer, however today I have read your blogs and have been helped by your courage, your honesty, and your strength. I have read the comments to your posts by people here and noted the compassion and empathy that I hope continues through the difficult days, months and years ahead. I have immense admiration for you in sharing what is very hard in the 'real' world--to communicate to nurses, doctors, family, and friends.
More than words can express--my thoughts are with you and your sons. Thank you for being the person you are.
Take care,
Valenre

Dear Mrs Elton
Your loss is our loss, your grief is our grief, as you have shared your journey with us. You have all our deepest sympathies for you and your boys. We are all diminished by Greg's passing.
Do take care of yourself and those boys.
