Lost my wife of 20 years...

There are some things that you can't really prepare for. You just endure them as best you can.

Definitely was'nt prepared for this. But yeah...that's what we're trying to do.

I can't even fathom, my deepest and most sincere condolences. I wish you much grace and peace

Thanks Wattage, it means a lot. Very kind of you.

My condolences. And like others have said (and probably better) try to focus your and your kids thoughts towards ones of gratitude for having had the privilege to have had such a loving and loyal ally in your corner for all those years. I know it will take time, its ok, dont feel pressure to "get thru it 2quickly". Be kind, patient and forgiving with yourselves and each other along the way.

Yeah, I do try and steer them towards the positives. She had such an abundance of love for them & vice versa. Our kids were our lives. They are both pretty shocked and traumatized & they need to work through that..not 'get past it', because I don't think any of us ever will, but just be able to come to terms and deal better.

Wow, I am terribly sorry to hear this news. I hope that you and your boys are doing as well as can be expected, what a horrible thing to have happen.

Yeah, beyond horrible. There are no words to describe the miserable trauma of an experience like that. I just try to focus on her life before. Thanks for the kind words Twilight. Means a lot to us. You guy's have all been so kind.

Things that suck happen. 20 years with someone you love is a blessing. Having kids with someone like that...
Take care of them. You share a common love. They should also take care of you, if you do.

Yeah, no stranger to **** happening....nor was she. We had'nt had it easy for a long time. Something like this though, it never even crossed my mind ...just sickening beyond anything I could have ever thought of or expected. I always took it for granted that we'd face everything nasty that came our way together.

My boys are indeed a huge blessing ..they are growing up right, We were both very hands-on and also tried to shield and protect them from some of the ****ty circumstances we all found ourselves in. They are used to stress & crap coming their way, but again ..nothing ever prepared them for this. It's been really hard for all of us, as I said maybe even worse for them ,but they're tough & they're coping.

That breaks my heart. Very sorry for you loss.

Thanks Dankstar. Very kind of you...

Man, I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine.

Thanks so much. Much appreciated..

My gosh, I'm so sorry for your loss. I pray for peace for you and your boys through this.

Thank you for your prayers & good wishes. Very much appreciated.

heart breaking to read that, very sorry. condolences to you and your kids. may she rest easy and be at peace

Once again..thanks so much. It means a lot ..and I absolutely wish her the same.

God help my kids if my wife goes first. If your wife inspired that kind of playing, you've been a very lucky man.

If I might offer a tiny bit of advice, consider becoming a dog person.

My wife inspired a lot of things in me. But I'd be lying if I said she loved all (most?) of my playing. Not that she ever said anything (I'd get pained looks instead) , but this song I think she would've liked. It did come straight from my heart.

And up until last year ..we were exclusively dog people. We have four of them at home and looked after/fed a bunch of strays as well. Then we found these two tiny abandoned kittens in our basement & despite having no experience with cats at all, she insisted that we take them in. They were so different & funny & affectionate (in their own way)..she really loved them ..we all did. The injured one had actually fallen off the same roof two months before, but she (the cat) was luckier. Can't blame the cats I guess ...they're cats (and she loved them).

Absolutely heart breaking. You and the boys take care of each other, talk to each other.

Thanks for the kind words ...we've all been trying to deal in our own ways, but yeah, we are talking and helping each other out. It's going to be a long, hard road though.



Also, For some reason when I press "like" it says "unlike" (?) sometimes.. or nothing at all.

sorry..they're all likes.
