Alone after 40 years
Alone after 40 years
This probably has been the worst time of my 75 years, my wife passed away last Monday. It was a total surprise, she was short of breath and dizzy on Sunday but we didn't do anything till Monday 6am, I took her to the ER about 20 miles away, they did a bunch of tests and put in an IV and came up with a possible blood clot. It was a blood clot on her lungs and it moved up to her heart and that was it. They tried really hard with CPR and could get it going for a short time but then always quit. By 11 am it was all over with, I felt like someone had kicked me the gut and still feel that way. Always second guessing what could have been done, but the DR. said there was nothing I could have done different. We were companions for almost 40 years and now I have a heck of a hole in my life. Prayers are needed. thanks, Terry
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

So sorry, I have no idea what you’re going through. All we can do is pray that God will lift you up and strengthen you in this time of sorrow.

Re: Alone after 40 years
I am so sorry to read of your wife's passing. As Larry posted, I too have no idea what you are experiencing but I remember my mother's words when my dad died, she said, "It's like half of me has died." She survived, relied on the Lord for strength and comfort along with her family. Terry, we will be praying you will find peace and comfort during this time.

Terry so sorry to hear about your wife. Our oldest son passed away ten years ago April 9th, and it wasn't easy. Have faith in God, your friends and family and all will be okay. I will pray for you and your family.

Re: Alone after 40 years
I don't really have the words, Terry. I am so sorry for your loss. We lost my dad last year, my mom and he were married for 56 years. I don't know what you're going through, but I can see how it has affected my mother.
Our prayers are with you through this difficult time. Remember, we are here for you if you need us.

Re: Alone after 40 years
My deepest condolences Terry. I wish we had a way to somehow reduce your pain and sadness. But we can only pray and trust that the Creator of us all will strengthen our faith so that we may rely upon Him to bring us all into His Kingdom as he has your dear wife.
Re: Alone after 40 years
Terry, there is not a replacement for your precious wife. I thank the Lord that you had years to know and love her, that she did not suffer long. My prayers are with you. Look to the Lord.
Re: Alone after 40 years
Terry - while I don't know you in person I'm grateful for your contributions to this community and grieve with you for your loss. It took a great deal of courage to share your emotions on your sleeve with us and I'm grateful for your trust to help in any possible way. May God be with you during this very difficult time and allow you to remember the times shared rather than the time lost. Godspeed. Tom
