Sgt Robert Cléroux

Natalie, I'm so very sorry to hear about the loss of your husband. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Aujourd'hui j'ai la force d'exprimer comment je me sens envers cette personne spéciale.

Cher neveu Bobby, c'est difficile de trouver les mots pour exprimer la douleur de ton départ. Tu étais bien plus qu'un neveu pour moi; tu étais autant un petit frère, qu'un ami et  confident.  La personne généreuse qui illuminait nos rencontres/party de famille.

Je garderai en mémoire ta joie de vivre, tes cinquante six milles projets loll et tous les souvenirs de nos moments ensemble. Tu es invisible à mes yeux, mais présent dans mon coeur. Même loin de nous, ton amour reste vivant. Tes filles, Karina et Mia, en sont le plus beau témoignage.

Quand je regarderai le ciel et que je verrai une étoile scintiller, ce sera un signe que tu viens me faire un coucou comme tu le  faisais  presque tous les soirs par texto.

Repose en paix. LOVE YOU

Matante (Francine)

Nat , Karina and Mia

Grief is not just an emotion - It's an unraveling, a space where something once lived but is now gone. It carves through you, leaving a hollow ache where love once resided. In the beginning , it feels unbearable, like a wound that will never close but over time, the raw edges begin to mend. The pain softens, but the imprint remains - a quiet reminder of what once was. The truth is , you never "move on". You move with it. The love you had does not disappear; it transforms. It lingers in the echoes of laughter, in the warmth of old memories, in the silent moments where you still reach for what is no longer there. And that's OK. Grief is not a burden to be hidden. It is not a weakness to be ashamed of. It is the deepest proof that love existed, that something beautiful once touched your life. So let yourself feel it. Let yourself mourn. Let yourself remember. There is no timeline, no "right" way to grieve. Some days will be heavy, and some will feel lighter. Some moments will bring unexpected waves of sadness, while others will fill you with gratitude for the love you were lucky enough to experience. Honor your grief, for it is sacred. It is a testament to the depth of your heart. And in time, through the pain, you will find healing - not because you have forgotten, but because you have learned how to carry both love and loss together.

Love Always XOXO RIP Bobby

Natalie, my heart goes out to you and your family. Wishing you comfort, support and moments of peace as you navigate this difficult loss.
