re: Hardest day of my life

Jim, reading your post took my breath away. Dealing with the loss of a loved one hit too close to home with what I have been going through. I will do anything to keep my partner as comfortable as possible and know that you did the same.

I will say a prayer for the repose of your wife/partner’s soul and a prayer for you that The Good Lord will give you the strength and comfort to get through this difficult time.

If my Faith is fact, you will see her again.

God Bless You!

I am so sorry...my most heartfelt prayers for you...be safe...blessings...

We may not know you in real life, but we all are human and go through things in life we shouldn’t have to. We care about you. Sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss Jim. God Bless !!!

I'm so sorry.

I also don't understand the downvotes for anything in this thread, and I realize why I don't really bother with this site.

So, so sorry.

I am very sorry for your loss. I will pray for you.

The morning of August 8, my wife didn't wake up. It's the first time I've ever seen paramedics with tears in their eyes as they worked to revive her. Police arrived and took me outside to allow the paramedics to do their thing. Paramedics claimed they got her heart beating ....but lost her on the two mile trip to the hospital.

I feel your loss. You'll have days that will suddenly erupt in sorrow. I told my Doctor ...of ,my concern about what I was hearing .....She explained that will vanish in time. I would sound asleep then hear her call out for me.

I have a place where I can walk along a stream. Dog walkers and joggers. The dog walkers know I have an affection for dogs. They all stop, I swear I am going to get a dog. Something to go with me to work and care for me as I care for her.

Well fellas, day four is done. That's four days of phone calls with her not made. The weekend is coming up when we usually we would have gotten together, if our obligations meshed that week. You usually get about a week of sympathy from people before they get bored of it and think you should move on, so I have about three more days I guess.

Funeral is next weekend to allow some relatives to arrive from overseas. Someone suggested I do some volunteer work to take my mind off things, so that's how I spent my lunch hour. It was worthwhile, but it didn't make me stop thinking. I keep wanting to talk to her. Looks like we had an unexpectedly good year year financially and the outlook is positive for next year, so I should be pleased, but the reason I was working so hard is to secure our future. If things continued to go well I was thinking about cutting back my hours and spending more time with her, maybe take some trips.

Before we started today, They went around the circle and people announced who they knew that was in need of prayer. People sick, people died, Cancer, heart, dementia. Everybody suffers in life. No exceptions. It didn't make me feel any better to know I.m not the only one.

That's all I got for now.

Sorry for your loss.
