Well, we gave my hubby a great send-off yesterday morning. The funeral Mass was lovely, and we had around 30 friends and relatives in attendance. At a time when I wonder how it's possible to hurt still much and still breathe, I'm getting awesome support and all of the final expenses are paid, thanks to the people who donated to my GoFundMe account.

Thank you all who have sent me good thoughts and prayers as well. It means the world to me that strangers on a message board would care enough to help me get through this incredibly sad time. God bless all of you.

My husband's funeral was one of the worst days of my life. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Kudos to you for getting through it. I wish you continued comfort. We are all always here for you!

I ache in sympathy. I just wish it would assuage your own grief.

So sorry for your loss

Eternal rest grant unto him oh Lord
And let perpetual light shine upon him.
May his soul and all the souls of the faithfully departed
Through the mercy of God
Rest in Peace
Amen
