My wonderful Wife, Sue passed away

Moosehead, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved wife, Sue
Please extend my sympathies to rest of your family during this difficult time. I will keep you all in my nightly prayers
 
Sorry for your loss. Most of us know the pain you're going through and yet we feel there's nothing we can say to ease your pain, but we try anyway.

This helped me a lot when I lost my parents. It may not ease the hurt but it will help give meaning to your pain.

"Once, an elderly general practitioner consulted me because of his severe depression. He could not overcome the loss of his wife who had died two years before and whom he had loved above all else. Now, how can I help him? What should I tell him? Well, I refrained from telling him anything but instead confronted him with the question, “What would have happened, Doctor, if you had died first, and your wife would have had to survive you?” “Oh,” he said, “for her this would have been terrible; how she would have suffered!” Whereupon I replied, “You see, Doctor, such a suffering has been spared her, and it was you who have spared her this suffering — to be sure, at the price that now you have to survive and mourn her.” He said no word but shook my hand and calmly left my office. In some way, suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice."

May God surround you with family and friends,
give you strength and comfort during this time,
and help you stay the course until one day you will be together again.
Oh, what a joyous day that will be 🕊️🙏🕊️
 
I'm sorry for your loss too, Moose. Try to look after yourself as you live with this suffering, as a previous member suggested.....eat right, keep up on the logistics......be alive. The suffering of grief doesn't really have a solution, except to endure it. Please keep reporting in to the SF community......you're in for a long adjustment, let us know how you're doing.
 
Hello everyone. Once again much, much thanks for the kind words. All the replies brought tears to my eyes. I'm trying to get through each day and night but it is extremely painful. I cannot believe I will no longer be able to hug my beloved Sue, go for long walks. She passed when she wanted to and I was laying by her side holding her hand telling her how much I love her. She was a courageous, wonderful person loved by all who met her. I'm so hoping to be with her soon. Once again, thanks to all....And to those who have lost loved ones ,God bless and my deepest sympathies to you and families.....
