Lost my best friend over night

Dear Mike,

It is so special and thank you for sharing your heart and the intimate experience of the loss of your wife. Words cannot convey the numbness, pain and emotions you must feel. I watched my father in 1990 experience the loss of my mother after 38 years of marriage. Watched him reach out to interests of hers that he had not previously shared as a way to still feel physically connected. It comforted him and as time moved on, even in death she taught him, expanded his life. See, he developed a new part of himself through his grief, previous walls that existed and which we all have, I watched fall away. Through the pain of my mother's death, my father deveoped a whole new appreciation of life.

May God comfort you in the morning hours when there is too much quiet
May God comfort you in the afternoon when you turn to say "honey..." and realize you are not able to hear her response
May God comfort you in the evening when you find yourself wondering the house not knowing why you walked into that room or down that hallway
The sun does rise higher through time
The fog does lift as the calender marches on
Happy memories, laughter and joy transition from the pain and tightness in the chest.

Be gentle with yourself, give yourself time, on those days where you think you should be "over it" whatever that truly means, know it's ok to grieve, cry, vent, yell, and that over time a new life will begin with her still in it, but now joyously in your heart and mind.

Love transcends all things, is all things, heals all things.

Holly said it very well. It is difficult to lose somebody so close.
 
Mike, that brought a tear to my eye as I can only imagine what you are going through. May GOD bless you and help you through this.
 
Hello Mike:
Don't know you but as an AZer I am sorry to hear about your wife but I feel she is in a better place and that you will see her again some day.
Keep the Faith

Mike...We have followed and shared your sorrow and pain, for a long time now. I know your feelings about your wife being your best friend. I am lucky enough to have the same kind of relationship. My wife is also ill (and in chronic pain), but I don't know what I'd do if she wasn't there with me. We come and go in this life...but we will always treasure the moments we had, with the ones we loved! My thoughts are with you, my friend!:sorry:

As everybody on here knows my loving and beautiful wife has been very very sick. Well last night, over night, she passed very calmly in her sleep. She was in all intent and purposes my best friend and my guardian angel. Arrangements are pending at present. Now to figure out the financial part when i meet with the funeral home director. And no this is not a hint for money or anything like that. But i do want to thank everybody for their thoughts and all of their prayers. She is in a far better place today.......again,,,,,,thanks....................mike:( :(

Hi Mike,

Thank you for coming on to AZB and telling us your story. It's a very sad day in your house right now and I feel for you and your family. I am SO sorry to hear of this loss. Please know our hearts are with you... and come talk to us often on here. We want to hear from you.

Remember the good times and talk to her often. That always helps me. My Dad's passing of one year is this Friday. :(

I am so sorry for your loss.

Sincerely,
Melinda
 
You have a strong support group here!

Mikey:

I am so sorry for your loss. Words can't even begin to express how I feel.

Draw strength from the places you know where strength comes from:

1) Those around you
2) The Big Guy Upstairs
3) Your friends and family here and on other forums

Let me know if there is anything I can do for you, pal!
