After 45 years I lost the sweetest woman in my world. I am raw, struggling and in the most pain of my life. If anyone wants please offer up your prayers for my sweet Detta. She had a fractured spine and cancer of the stomach. She is out of the terrible pain thanks to hospice. She was my rock, I'll never be the same. If you offer up a prayer for her please also ask for strenght for me. Thank you folks...I'll be back when I feel better.
 

OMG You can't know how sorry I am to hear this sad news. I hope you overcome this event and get on with your life
as best you can.
 

Oh Dear God, I've just seen this . I'm so sorry Jim, I had no idea your lady wife was so ill, this is awful news and I know you'e struggling with your health too. This is terribly sad !!

I have no words except sorry, you must be in a horrible place right now, and yes I will certainly say a prayer for you both... may the Lord and your family keep you safe and comforted.

If Tomorrow Starts Without Me


If Tomorrow Starts Without Me…

If tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not here to see,
If the sun should rise you find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you
And each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand.
He said my place was ready, in heaven far above
And that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned and walked away a tear fell from my eye.
For all my life I’d always thought, I didn’t want to die.
I had so much to live for, so much left yet to do.
It seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays the good ones and the bad.
I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,
I’d say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be,
For emptiness and memories would take the place of me.
When I thought of worldly things I might miss come tomorrow
I thought of you and when I did my heart was filled with sorrow.
When I walked through heavens gates I felt so much at home.
God looked down and smiled at me from his great golden throne
He said, “This is eternity and all I’ve promised you”
Today your life on earth has passed but here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last
And since each day is the same there’s no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things you knew you shouldn’t do.
You have been forgiven and now at last you’re free.
So won’t you come and take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts with out me don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me, I’m right here in your heart. ​

Jim, I just saw this now. I'm so terribly sorry and hope someone is with you. Prayers have been offered.

Eternal rest grant unto Detta, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Jim,I am so sorry to hear this, and I am definitely saying prayers for you for our Lord to give you strength and comfort right now in your grief over losing your wife.
I am sure that God is taking care of her, and I am saying a prayer for Detta, too.
Sending you a virtual HUG as well !
Take care of yourself, and come back when you feel able to.

Just now read this

The only way I can relate is in thinking of the possible loss of my own sweetest woman.

I’d…. be….. devastated

And I’d want to be left alone

To grieve
Unbridled

Days, maybe

However long it’d take to get my anguish to a tolerable level

I imagine alcohol would be involved
As much as I needed to deaden the pain, and, hopefully pass out

Then, after my grieving period….I’d pray
Pray for guidance, for wisdom, for healing

But only after


My heart is with you, Jim
You have been a member of valor here, and I’d imagine anywhere your presence is known

Your posts have reflected some personal discomfort from time to time, but not in the woe is me sense, just matter of fact
But, never have I read about your other trials, such as what your sweet lady has been dealing with.

In my opinion, it is OK to be weak right now
Your strength will come, but you need an empting, a pouring

And only then, maybe you’ll be able to share this, one of life’s lowest periods

My thoughts, heart, mind, and soul, are with you in this time, brother
