I'm very sorry.

Be strong, sir. Find strength by doing something that lets her legacy live on.

I'm glad you were able to spend so many years enjoying the company of someone you love. Hold the memories dear. Don't be afraid to reach out if you're having a rough time.

Life can’t break you unless you let it. It will test you. It will text your strength and your character, and it gives you a choice. It’s not what happens to you in life, it’s how you react to it. Where your life goes now is up to you. You can either let this take you down, or you can move forward with strength and build a better life.

You control your brain and your emotions. Not the other way around. You can choose to stop letting your thoughts and emotions control your life.

I hope this helps. I’m genuinely trying to help because this mindset has helped me cope with a lot of things.

IDK man. I'm not suicidal or anything, but if it ended tomorrow I would be fine with it.

It takes time. Stay steady and strong for her which you know is what she wanted and saw in you. You’ll wake up one day and be grateful you did, for her and yourself.

This has been my experience with death.

Hey Jim.. I’m hoping you are doing ok. It’s been rough for me as well. The lonilyness just seems to never go away. No matter what I try.. but things are getting better for me. I’ve learned to focus on my grandsons and their future. It’s uplifting and comforting.. I’m still sober as well which keeps my mind sharpe. Stay well my friend. I’m always here for ya man.

Thanks Peej you too. I'm awful lonesome but I'm lonesome for her, and nobody else will fill that void.

I'm sure I will be on here in a few years, asking for advice on how to handle the not-so-normal family that will need help as I get old.




In my experience, having a parent become part of a separate family, when you are older (as in an adult of any age), its can be difficult depending on the relationship you have with that parent. If its not a close relationship then it will not be a problem.. And of course it depends on the person they start having a relationship with,

So sorry to hear about your loss.

While I only know you from your contributions online here, I can 100% say that you made her world a much better place with your humor, company, and more. You did good for her and sounds like she always appreciated it.

Thanks for sharing.

Condolances, Jim. Just now seeing this thread.

I'm falling into a similar situation where my wife's health is starting to decline, but it's not happening with the suddenness of yours, so things can still be said and done. Hold onto the knowledge that she loved you and you loved her and do your best to impact the lives of others. The only thing of value we leave behind is the kindness we do for others, especially our friends and loved ones.

As your wounds heal get out there and make an impact and the pain will lessen. Stay strong, friend.
