    After my wife & kids, music is the next most important thing in my life. I really do hope it will help me through this...

    This is what I keep telling myself.

    I have a pretty good idea of what you're feeling.

    I picture my wife leaving this world with all of us who love her crying tears of sadness while she simultaneously enters into another world with all of those who love her and passed before her happily welcoming her home.

    I do think it's something like that and I think of "death" as being a word for that transformation. Not as an ending but as a transition.

    I'm very sorry for your loss.

    Nice tune, btw.
    Yes, while my wife and I weren't religious. She was very much into spirituality and read/explored it a lot. Her view of life & death was pretty much the same as what you said, that it was all about transition. After she passed I kept hearing these lyrics of a song by Pagan's Mind "one day we'll unite in dimensions higher" it's from the track "Dimensions Of Fire" ...for some reason that was a major source of comfort. Sorry to hear about your wife, there is definitely nothing worse than losing a soulmate.

    You might just have to fake-it and put on a happy face sometimes so your boys don't develop the feeling of being "wronged" by life/the world.
    And then on the other hand you don't want them to think it's just all about "moving-on" now either.

    It's going to be a tricky balance for sure but maybe it could help a bit if you occasionally discuss with them how lucky they are to have had such a good mom and how so many other children in the world never get to enjoy that blessing. Maybe make her birthday a family celebration day and focus on all the great stuff she did for them and their futures.
    Very true..though I guess I slipped into negativity a long time ago... I just need to try hard not to slip into any more now.

    But yeah...I know I do need to be there for my kids. As hellish as this experience has been for me it was likely even worse for the two of them, I'm aware of that. I need to be there for them now more than ever before. I do talk to them and try and get them to focus on the many, many positive aspects of her life rather than what happened at the end. She was actually, despite it all, a very strong & positive person & always found ways to stay on top of things. They never got her down..

    Thanks for the kind words/prayers guy's. It means a lot. Sorry to hear about your family & your wife's health issues Ascension. Things are pretty rough for my boys and me right now...she was such a sweet thing and deserved so much better than that. I really hope that you're right and that time will heal, at least to some extent. It's all been extremely hard to deal with. Really hope that playing my guitar will help me cope a bit better as well...

    Had no idea and can identify with much you say about family in ways you have no idea but in my case it was from my side. Had a couple incidents where I had serious health scares over the last few years with my wife so can also understand. Old adage that time heals all wounds and while it may not seem so now it's true you just have to find a way to make it through the storm. Prayers your way man and if there is absolutely anything I can do to help in this hit me with a PM.
