Oh Connie, I'm so very sorry. While I never met your DH (or you, even) IRL it feels like the world has suffered a great loss. A candle burns in this home for his passing.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Connie, I'm sorry for your loss. Nothing I try to type seems to be enough. As Maria says, we are here for you, we are your strength. Tons of ~ma for you.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Oh Connie, I'm so, so sorry. It's good that you were there with him at the end; I hope you can find some comfort in that. Lean on us as much as you need to. Sending you love and strength.

I'm so sorry, Connie.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Oh, Connie. Not enough words in the world to say how sorry I am.

Connie, I am so very, very sorry.

Compassionately intolerant
Connie, the image of your N carrying Thor's hammer into the next life makes me smile just a little bit through the many tears I am shedding for you now.
His effort was valiant and your heart is true. There can be no more noble parting.
I am just so, so sorry for the sadness you bear.
Your courage matched his and I imagine him saying 'Thank you, my Love. Now, I can stand up-right, at your shoulder, always.'

Oh no, Connie.

I'm so sorry, Connie. Sending you peace and strength.
