Thank you folks so much. Yesterday was as hard as expected, but I feel better after seeing and getting to talk to her for a bit. Our family knows God has us by the hand and will heal out hearts in due time.

Our family knows God has us by the hand and will heal out hearts in due time. Prayers and deepest condolences. It’s so scary to think how quickly that went from bad to worse. You and your family are in my thoughts. |

Thank you. It's been a little rocky start for our family, but now that things have sunk in maybe we can start the healing process. We were going to have her service this Saturday, but the government regulations has forced us put it off indefinitely. I sure appreciate all the prayers.

Slick, I am so sorry that the services have been put on hold. Putting it on hold , really lengthens the closure that we all go through. I have been thinking about what you must be going through. But knowing that she may be gone from this part of your life, only assures you that she is still alive in heaven, and she will be waiting for you there.
I used to be terrified that I would never see that person again when I was younger; but now I know that they will be my future forever. FOREVER!! What an exciting feeling to know this. We will be united again.
Even though they have left me for now, their soul did not die. What a wonderful time we will have with those that we love in heaven as all wrong doings are forgiven, and the love we share there will be much more than any joy or sheer bliss we experienced here on earth.
Often when I start thinking about a loss I have suffered, my mind switches to the fact that they have gone ahead of us on a vacation of a lifetime and there they wait excitedly for us there to join them.
In my thoughts, there will be no vacation destination on earth that will equal Heaven. Solomon said that our death was much more important to us than the day we were born. I truly believe that now.
It still can be difficult to wake up each day without them, and I am sorry that you must feel that.

I'll try not get all blubbery here, but I have lost both parents and as much as I loved them there is no comparison to what this is. Yes, every morning takes a tremendous amount of effort just to get up and start my day without her. We are Christians, although she was better at it than I, and I understand that we will once again be hand and hand. I mostly want to celebrate her victory with her complete healing and walking The Streets of Gold, but I'm a selfish bastard at times, too. I appreciate your loving and kind words, Chuckie. I don't think I've ever posted her picture on these boards before but I will today.

Wow, what a beauty she is!!!! Such a bright smiling face!
I too have lost both of my parents, and my younger brother, but still my husband and older brother is still with me. I don't want to be faced with losing either one of them, so I tell myself that I will be the first one to go. I know that we do not control that, but it settles the thoughts when it circles in my head.
I know that this time is very hard on you, and I am sorry for that.
I love what you have written in your avatar, "Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future." When I first read that, it gave me such a good feeling. It is so true!!

Slick,
Your beautiful wife is home now, but it's damn rough to be left behind to figure out what to do next. Today, tomorrow and every day after. We are all selfish about it. I know there is a huge hole in your heart and your life that no words can fix.
5 years ago, 4 days after we moved to TX, my husband landed in the ICU on a ventilator..It was the first and only time in my life I've truly been frightened. The strength of so many prayers, and some of them were yours, brought me thru that difficult time. Please know that you, now, have so many saying prayers for you and your family, and I desperately hope that it can bring you even a small sliver of peace in the days ahead.

She has a beautiful smile, hold that and her love for you in your heart. It won't make it hurt less, and it sure won't fill the hole in your heart..... but I hope that somewhere you an find some solace.....

It's too bad the services for your wife had to be put off but after going to the graveside services for a gentleman yesterday I would say postponement is the better choice. Get everyone together when things are back to normal and have the service she deserves.
