    I'm sorry for your loss. Don't worry, you guys will be reunited eventually. Death is never forever. (that sounds kind of morbid, but I think you understand :)

    My sympathies to you in your loss, many have lost ones dear to us, in this we share I think, reach out to those close please and know that many care, they just don't know how to do it, don't blame them, they just feel scared and awkward.. love to you and keep strong even when you don't feel like it.

    My very heartfelt condolences to all that have lost a spouse. I to have lost my soul mate, my love, my best friend, but sadly he chose to end his life. So if I can express, I got a double blow, with the guilt and tabu of it. I can not express the total devastation this loss has done to myself and our son. The pain does not seem to lesson, it grows more intense as the months pass, I suppose the shock is over, but the hopes and dreams died with him, I feel tired, and old, he was 49, and I am 44, I wish I could have saved him, but I know that was impossible. Thanks all for being here, sadly we are in a group that nobody wished to be a part of, but life comes at you, and you must deal with it. I suppose like everyone else here, I wanted to join him, but we have our children, this is the only reason for my sticking around. Our children, it is a good reason, indeed. Time will heal, is what they tell me, but what do I do in the mean time

    Thank you, BigLouie62, for your thoughts, especially while you, too, are grieving. I truly believe that if we had experienced a love that opened our hearts, that we will again have our hearts filled. We have been primed by love for further love. That is what my sweet baby would want for me and I'm sure your wife would want that, too. In the meantime we just have to wonder how emptiness can hurt so deeply.



    May your children give you strength. We will make it through this.

    BigLouie, I send you my condolences on your recent loss. My sympathies to you and your family on this most terrible and unexpected loss. Please know that losing your spouse is different for all, but one common theme is the emptiness that you describe. If there is anything I can do for your through EP, please let me know and my very best wishes to you and your family during these tough times!

    I'm adding my sincere sympathies too. I lost my Dad to lung cancer in June. I' can only say this...every emotion, every thought is ok...feel them.
