I had one of the deepest sleeps of my entire life, which was filled with one long dream of all the good times Linda and I had together. None of the bad times, only the good. It''s like she was the director, bringing to my remembrance things which I had long forgotten.

It was awesome.

Rich, your dream sounds awesome and I''m sure your deep sleep was down to relief, knowing that Linda had been released from the pain and suffering she had endured. I strongly advise to you write down or type up everything you remember from your dream, about all the happy times that you had with Linda. Your dream contained so much of what you had previously forgotten, you were given another chance to remember, so don''t let yourself forget again, write it down. We all know our memories fade, but a written account of your dream would be wonderful to read again in the future, even if just for your kids. Once again, my sincere condolences. My prayers are with you now, on January 2 and in the future.

Richard,

I am so sorry for your loss. We will remember your family in our prayers.

We read so many stories of celebrity divorces and break-ups in this folder, it''s nice to know that somewhere in the world, love does last even until death do you part. Your loving words remind us of the beauty of marriage and the memory of Linda is the better for it. She was truly blessed to have you. Always remember the good times. All the best to you and your family in the future.

Oh Richard. I am so sorry for your loss! Reading your post on how you slept in your room brought tears to my eyes.

I lost my dad around 9 years ago. He was 52 years old. Way too young. My mom did the same thing you did - she slept in their room that first night and she said she had the deepest sleep she had had in a long time. She also said she felt his spirit everywhere.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Together you will have the strength to get through this very trying time.

slept in the room she passed away in last night. My kids asked me, ''Are you sure you want to do that?'', thinking of the physical suffering which Linda went through in that last five days of her life.

''Of course'', I answered. ''Why wouldn''t I? Her spirit is all over the place.''

I had one of the deepest sleeps of my entire life, which was filled with one long dream of all the good times Linda and I had together. None of the bad times, only the good. It''s like she was the director, bringing to my remembrance things which I had long forgotten.

Wow - that is the true power of love and spirit. I must say this moved me to tears. Your strength and devotion are a true testament to your wife''s life. Thinking of you and your family...

Dear Richard,
I''m so sorry for your loss. My own husband died suddenly at the age of 43, so I understand a bit of what you are going through. I''ve always regretted that I never got to say good-bye to him.

My heart goes out to you and your family.

I just saw this thread.

Sorry about your loss. Linda must have been quite the gal.

I am glad that you are able to sleep. The good times are the most valuable things to remember - glad that is what you dreamed about.

Richard, both Rich and I extend our deepest sympathies. While we''ve known this has been expected, it never truly is. I''m heartbroken that her final days weren''t more comfortable, and I hope you can find some peace in her release from that discomfort.

She left you a wonderful gift in your children; may you all gather together to support each other in this time of sorrow.

You, your children, your loved ones, and of course Linda will be in our hearts and our prayers. I wish we could be there on Monday, but know that our thoughts most certainly will be.

With love and hope,
Al
