Oj, I don't think I have ever come across a stronger person, especially the way you have dealt with your ils. Thinking of you as always x

Done.

Thinking of you today OJ as always.

XX

Peace and blessings and strength for today to all of you

OJ - You are the strongest person ive ever 'known', you have inspired all of us and allowed us to share what is an amazing family that you have.
I think that steve has 'hung on' to give you these extra special memories, he knows what it means to you all.

Thinking of you OJ - you are amazing, strong and inspirational, the way you have coped is incredible but please take a minute to think of yourself - you don't need to carry everything/one on your shoulders.

Tx

Peace and strength for the coming day, OJ and family. You are all in my thoughts. x

OJ
You will never know the inspiration you are to so many of us. You have shown us how to cope with the most appalling of situations with dignity, humour and most importantly, real love.
Praying for you all.

Good Morning OJ. As I was reading your last post I was thinking of a reply. By the time I had got to the bottom of the thread it has all been said by others.
You and your family have made me realise how I don't appreciate what i have and don't cherish what is special.
You are the strongest woman I have had the pleasure to have 'met' and you are awe-inspiring mother and wife in the way you have managed at such a heart breaking time. I for one can not see how you can be stronger.
Today as ever you are all in my prayers.

Done.

Oj, wishing you strength, and sending love.

OJ- When my grandmother died my Mum said her breathing was like that. My Mum is a district nurse so she's used to being with people when they die (well as used to it as you can ever get- I mean its not unusual for her)- but I know she found listening to my grandmother's breathing and the big long gaps really really difficult. You don't need to be stronger. You're incredibly strong already.

You are a strong, inspirational woman, who is already grieving for her "rock".
Steve will soon be at peace but I believe he will continue to walk beside you as you continue in the fantastic job you are doing in raising Abbey, Bethan and Elliot. And to live with love, respect and the dignity, I so admire in you.

Love and continued strength SK

Remember to cry is a sign of strength too.

Adding yet another "Thining of you" message. It seems such a small thing, but we are all thinking of you, Steve and the kids.

I am always astonished by the strength, dignity and grace with which you have faced this terrible time. Steve must be so proud of the woman he married.

There is a lot of strength in vulnerability, OJ, and you have every kind of strength in spades. We're thinking of you and Steve and the kids, with lots of love...xxx

good morning oj,Its very sad to read about Steve having a tear.You already are a very strong woman Oj,you have faced all of this with great dignity,strength,and the love you have for your family has shone through.You have faced all the problems head on ,had battles with others to get what you needed.had a car crash and still you kept on battling and caring for your loved ones,Not strong enough ????? Thats certainly not you Oj.Wishing you strength for today.xxx

Thinking of you all OJ.

OJ, you ARE strong, hun. There is no doubt about that. But even the strongest person would find your journey extremely hard. The fact that you love Steve so much means that it is more difficult to have seen him change so dramatically in the last 10 months. You are there right by his side, just as you promised in your marriage vow. You can do no more, even though I know you would if it were in your power. (((((((hugs)))))) to you dalring. xxx

OJ, I think you're incredible.

Even though you're going through the most desperate time and having unnecessary stress placed upon you by relatives, you continue to create memories for your children and behave in such a loving manner. I really am in awe of what you are managing to achieve.

The mixed feelings you are experiencing are totally normal. It is difficult to feel grateful for having time when your loved one is so unwell and life is so hard.

I really feel for you. I won't bore you with all the details of my story, but suffice to say I have an inkling of what you're going through as I recently lost a close relative of mine. We only had a month of deterioration to cope with. That was hard enough. To be carrying on with such dignity in the face of such adversity is truly remarkable. You are inspirational.

I'm sure you don't feel strong all the time, I hope you realise you don't need to. You won't be letting anyone down.

Take care of yourself OJ. Let people support you.

OJ, xxx
