My condolences, as well as Dana's and Amyliu's. I won't pretend to have anything more to say that the people before me didn't cover.

What a terrible time you've been through but such happy times too. So young as well.

One simply has to live each day anew and be happy with it as one's last. . . . and perhaps memories of happy times will carry you through.

As I write this, I'm listening to Olivier Latry playing the organ at Notre Dame Paris
http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/mus ... e-Dame.htm
and had just got to the opening of the Wagner Pilgrim's Chorus - so so very very sad - but it changes key and finds beautiful theme to be innerly happy about, even in sadness and becomes so very grave, delicate and heavenly. Perhaps you might treat yourself to the disc and play it in memory of her - I think it will match your mood.

Best wishes

Harem

Spiritfire, I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss!

Caring for someone who cannot care for themselves is among the most noble, rewarding things you can do - and it's hard-ass work, too. I have a suspicion that you'll continue to care for your dear wife, deep in your soul, for the rest of your own life, but please take some time to care for yourself as well!

You shall have my thoughts and prayers in this difficult time.

I found one of my favorite pictures of us together. This was taken in 1997 after we've been together for about a year.

You look very happy together. I'm happy for the bond you shared. To have found the love of your life is something many never find. I'm sorry for your incredible and early loss.

I can only say I am sorry for you. I don't know much about you, but I can tell from your photo that you were close to your wife, and her to you. I am praying for you and for her. May God heal you soon.

I am so very sorry for you and your family. I don't really know what to say as this is extremely sad news. I wish you all strength during this difficult time as I know how painful it is to lose somebody you love, though I imagine it's far worse when it's your spouse. I must say that I'm not sure you will ever heal the wound, but rather learn to live with it. Like others have said, you two were very lucky to have found eachother and experienced true love. I feel so sad for you all... Such a difficult road to travel. I do believe that she is in a beautiful place free of pain and suffering.

I read this thread last night when you first posted it, but just didn't know what to say to you. I can offer you my friendship should you need anybody to talk to.

I'm sending you hugs...xo

Sad news indeed, but I'm glad you posted a pic of you two together as there is nothing but happiness there. Glad you found it. Really sorry you lost it so soon, mate that's awful that you are going through such a loss, but as we say in Christchurch New Zealand, Kia kaha - Maori to English translation is 'Be strong'.
