May she truly rest in peace

Well, here it is 27 months later and I'm still a wreck. Not sure what else to say right now, so.....


July 24th, 2007

Well... Last Saturday was my wife's birthday. Since I was still in a state of shock last year at this time, this was the first birthday without her. To keep my mind off of "things", I spent the entire day fishing and they were biting like crazy. We (her brother, his wife and I) were to have a BBQ and small party with a few guests to celebrate her life, but after being on a boat for nearly 14 hours, we decided to put it off until Sunday. It turned out to be just the three of us, after all.

She'd be exceptionally proud of her "baby" this year. He's been extremely busy. Graduating from College (AA for now), he was ordained (pastor), bought a condo and got married. I'm proud of him, too! Here are a few pictures from his wedding.

The following text/links are basically a compilation of replies to sympathetic emails I've received. I still have more than 50 emails I haven't read yet. I appreciate each and every email I've received. Even after 14+ months, it's still too hard to read some of your beautiful emails.


Read a little how we constantly walked hand-in-hand and literally trusted each other with our lives for over two decades.

Letters to my wife....

Well, I've decided to remove the letters.

Here it is, 14 months later and I still can't get her off my mind. I'm still writing them, I just don't think it's a good idea to have them here. It makes it far too easy for me to re-read over and over, renewing my sadness each time I do... I am getting to the point where fond memories are replacing sadness fairly often, though.

Here are a few pictures taken several years apart. I was hoping for higher quality but we get what we get, I suppose.

Ways you can help

Donate to WidowNet.org. It's "The club with the highest dues in the world." It's a club no one wants to join, yet there are many members (Including myself). There's nothing worse than losing a soul mate. Any donations there will be greatly appreciated by all.

Yet another way you can help... and it's free.

As soon as you see your wife or husband, please give them the tightest hug they can take and a big kiss for me.

Since my wife and I simply couldn't keep our hands to ourselves, we probably hugged 10 times per day, gave each other a 'peck on the cheek' several times per day and told each other "I love you" another 10 times per day (for over 20 years), I'm quickly getting "backed up" in my "need a hug" department.

May of 2006 was, by far, the worst month of my life. It was also the most embarrassing, in many ways. Feeling lost and alone sucks. I have so much to say about her but I'll have to wait until the fog clears a bit so reading isn't so painful.
 

Links

Here are a few links I've gathered. More to come. Basically, they're poems and/or stories related to losing someone you love. The first is especially good and all were supplied by WidowNet.org members.
