RE: why

richard nobody has the answers im afraid i know exactly how you feel my darling bill passed away in feb 09 its now 18 weeks and it is still so raw and painful.my dad said that us as human beings must be made to be strong to have to go through tragic times like this. i know sam will be so proud of you and your special girls. be strong. every one says time is a healer i think the pain will never go but hopefully we learn to cope with it a bit better. dont try to stop your grieving if you need to cry do so there are so many emotions that i am still going through. take care and try to think of the happy and special times you and sam had together, it is what keeps me going. thinking of you jayne xx

RE: why

Hi Richard,
I lost my wife 2 years ago on the 18 of this month,she was 53, sorry to say in my experience it does not get any easier. I have 3 kids all with families of thier own, so I spend a lot of nightime on my own, this is when it really hurts, time to think and remember. The people who tell you it gets easier probably have not had any experience of a similar loss to ours.
Best regards
Adam

RE: why

Richard i am so sorry to hear of your loss, my heart goes out to you and your girls. I lost my husband suddenly in feb 2003 when he was 32 and i had 2 small boys aged 5 and 8. The pain never goes away but you learn to manage it. Take strength from your children and make your wife proud of you and your girls. She will always be watching over you making sure you are all safe. My two boys are now 14 and just turned 12 and i know their dad would be sooo proud of them, if i've done it this far then i know you can do it too. God bless you all, kelly x

RE: why

Hello
Sorry to hear about your loss. Yes time seems to stand still and part of us dies when we lose a loved one. We all react differently and there is no magic wand to heal us. All I know is that we will always live with a scar, with time people will forget about your scar but you'll know it's there and you'll live with it, it is part of you. One day at a time, your angel wife will be watching over you and will help you in your journey. Take care and keep well for your beautiful daghters

Life Beyond

Care for your loved one as you always have
Let them go, but not completely.
Hold onto them, but not too tightly.
Love them as you know you will..as you always have

Rejoice that they are well, the only difference
now is that you cannot see them.
But you feel them still
and they will always be with you.

The spirit does not die as the body dies
and Love is of the spirit.
Nothing you have experienced together
can be taken from you
and your loved one shall be eternally yours
in that love.

Weep not too long, that they may also cry.
But rejoice in their life and in yours also.
Let yours continue to be a celebration of all life
of your shared love....
knowing that God holds you both
in the palm of his hand
and in loving you both, shall reunite you.

Blessings
