My thoughts are with you all.

Anna, what can I say? I can only wish you and your husband my warmest wishes and heartfelt sympathy. I have not had the same tragedy in my life, but when I read your posting I felt shock and sympathy. I can only wish you both well, and hope you are coping.

Best wishes to all.

I often read but havent posted but I felt i had to say I am thinking of you and your family take care all xxxxxx

I am so very sorry for you all.

Sorry to hear such sad news. I'm thinking good thoughts for you and your family.

Oh my god how awful, I'm so sorry. It's not a bad thing to be aware of the relief, of course, and whatever we believe it is usually that the person who dies is free of suffering at least. My heart goes out to you, Mr Raitte, that little boy and all of your family.

I very sorry to hear of your family's loss. I hope you and Mr. Raitte find comfort in the family still here. Be sure to tell Scott's son what a wonderful dad he had.

Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers. Such a difficult thing to bear, but it sounds like he is definitely in a better place.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
I really like the phrase "peace claimed him" -- it's quite thoughtful.

Peace and comfort to you all. Special hugs to your nephew, and may he remember his father well and fondly.

i don't know what to say. i feel for you both and for his son. i definitely know what he is going through.

sending much love.

MAy God bless you and keep you during this trying time.

My condolences. What a truly tragic situation.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I want to offer my deepest condolences to you all, especially your nephew. Take care.

Oh my goodness, Anna. I am so sorry. Please send my deepest condolences to your husband. I lost my brother 5 years ago, and it is a terrible, terrible thing. I hope that with the passing of time, he will be able to remember the happy things. For me, the horror of it all was what I had to deal with first, but after the years have passed, I no longer remember what was difficult or awful at the end and Sam has returned to being the restored person of my memory, in my memory. May the same happen for both of you. Love to you all, J.

*Hugs*

I'm so, so sorry for your loss. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh Anna, I'm so very sorry. Lots of love to you and your family.

I'm so, so sorry Anna.
My sister lost her husband to a motorcycle accident this past June. He left behind she and their two children.. a son, 5 and a daughter who turned 1 the week following his death, so I can understand the pain.
Hang in there. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, most especially the little one.

Oh Anna - I am so so sorry for your loss - what a dreadful situation but as you say at least a little relief can be felt. Give that little boy loads of cuddles from us all xxxxx

Thinking of you and your family.

Anna - I am terribly terribly sorry. However the gathering of family - and indeed, the woefully-sweet relief of finally knowing that they don't have to wake up every morning and wonder "will today be the day?" - will certainly go a long way to ease their tremendous loss.

...and can I say that in an utterly bizarre way it is extremely wonderful and comforting and exciting in and of itself to know that we are on the same large continent at the moment??? We might be across a border from each-other this week, but at least we're not across the pond for once!

My thoughts for you and your family.

Sorry for your loss. Wish you and your family the best during this trying time.

my condolences to you and your family.

my deepest condolences to you and the family
(hugs)

It seems funny to say so sorry for your loss, when it seems that you all lost him a while ago, but the finality, the end, is always the end of hoping he will get better, and I have found in my own life that though you think you may have given up hope on something, at the end you find you really haven't. Hope is so integral to all of us moving through this topsy turvy world. So, I Hope you and your family are finding peace and solace with each other..

Anna, my heart and sympathies go out to you and your family during this time of grieving. Take good care of one another.

oh, i'm so sorry to hear that.

I'm so very sorry for you and all your family....

I am so sorry for your loss. Heartfelt wishes go out to you and your family.

Terribly sorry for your loss. I normally come to your blog to gawp at your patterns in admiration. Now, I come to commisserate.

I'll light a candle.

My sympathies to all of the Raitte Family and hopes for safe travels. Would wrap everyone in a soft warm woolen hug if I could.

I'm so so sorry for Mr Raitte and his family.

My thought are with your family.

Dear Anna,

I send my sympathy to you and your family on this loss.

My mother has been in the awful limbo of late Alzheimer's for some time. The way you describe the situation of inextricably combined loss and relief brings some comfort to me. Thank you.

My thoughts are with you. Go well and safely. ~x~

My thoughts are with you all. I just talked with my brother the other day -- it's been 8 months since his accident and everyday I think about how it could have gone so many other ways. I still can't help but be rendered speechless over the whole thing... We're really just all walking on eggshells, I think.

Please accept my sincerest condolences.
How terribly sad for your husband,his nephew,your whole family.

My heartfelt condolences to your family. Please take comfort in knowing that those we love are with us always. May peace be with you all.

Ah, how sad for everyone, my condolences to you and your family. Such a long, long time to be in a coma.

What a horrid situation - loss and relief mixed in one. Wishing you all peace.

I am truly sorry, Anna.

How very sad; I will be thinking of you and family and sending love.

Please pass my condolences along to Mr. Raitte and his family. I am very sorry for the loss.

I am so terribly sorry. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

Ditto. I can't imagine having to go through that.

Oh Anna. This has been a kind of annus horribilis for you, hasn't it? What a sad, sad story. I'm just so sorry.

Oh my, so so sad - I wish for you and Mr. Raitte's family so many things. Especially during the holidays, birthdays, anniversaries - when missing a loved one can feel like a physical pain. My condolences and sorrow for your loss.

Sorry to hear about your brother-in-law. I hope everyone is doing okay. I'll keep you all in my prayers.

It is difficult to lose a sibling, as you think you will always have each other to remember childhood together. Sorry for your loss.
