angel,

I'm sorry to hear of your husband's death.  Although the Alsheimer's was 
hard, it doesn't make it any easier to accept that he's gone.  I pray he's 
in Heaven and will be there waiting for you.

Subject: Hi there from angel


A voice from the past.  A lot has happened since last I wrote.  My e-mail 
wasn't working.  I thought I would need help fixing it.  I got tired of 
feeling incompetent so I decided to try to fix it myself.  I was successful 
which proves I am not quite as stupid as I thought.  I have some sad news to 
tell you all.  May 21 my husband died.  I suppose it was for the best.  I 
began feeding him with a baby bottle, and he became unable to suck from that 
so I had resigned myselfto the idea I would have to put him into a nursing 
home after all.  I was going to check into nursing homes that very day when 
I went to try to feed him, and found him dead.  It took me a while to admit 
to myself he was really dead.  I thought he was just comatose and only 
needed to be taken to the hospital.  The paramedics told me he was dead and 
at last I had to admit he was.  My son was rather stoic but you never know 
how another really takes a thing like that.  The service was really nice. 
His beep ball team was there as well as some from his childhood 
neighborhood.  One of our friends even came straight from the hospital to be 
there.  I was very touched by that gesture.  I trust you all missed me while 
I was gone and not much stirring happened while I was gone.  I would ask 
your prayers though as I am still coming to terms with the loss.
