For Mike and anyone else who might be interested in what happens after death.

http://www.issc-taste.org/arc/dbo.cgi?set=expom&id=00038&ss=1

This is my public statement on a well respected scientist's web site about my experiences meeting my first wife after she died. I am a scientist and a non-religious person. It took me ten years to come to terms with what happened and I have finally concluded that death is a doorway, after you die everything is just the same. People die and they do not know they are dead. You take everything that you have done in life with you. Live today as if you will die tomorrow.

Those who have died are always with us and we will see them again. If they have a need to talk with us after they have died we will hear from them.

Personally, I look forward to some great pool matches (among other things) after I die.

Mike, I just went through this a month ago with my Mom, and I was by her side with my wife and my three sisters almost constantly for the last few weeks. Talk to her when she is awake, and spend every minute that you have with her.

I'm 61, and was diagnosed with cancer a year ago, and have been in treatment for the last year. My Mom never really complained about the pains that were causing her to be in home hospice, all she wanted to know was about me and my treatment and whether I was going to recover. (By the way, I am doing very well on the way to recovery). After every treatment and doctor appointment, I would call her and fill her in on the details.

Now I can't call her, she's gone, but she is not suffering anymore; I still think about calling her every day.

Be there for her, as it sound like you are, and God bless you.

I would like to say thanks for all the calls, text messages on my cell and a few Pm's here inquiring about my wife's status. At present she is barely hanging on. Sleeping maybe 21 hours a day. I have to wake her to feed her and give her her medications everyday. She is on many meds including morphine and lortab plus a steady flow of oxygen. it is only a matter of time before the good lord takes her to be with him. She has lost interest in everything and i believe she wants it to be finally over.

I am doing ok. Just tears my heart out to sit/lie there watching the love of my life waste away more every day. But like everything else in my life i will get through this as well. I have already made all arrangements that need to be made and have all the facts and figures. She in going to be cremated and her ashes buried with my parents as will mine.

now to make it pool related. I will be putting up a couple of cues in the wanted/for sale section in the near future. I have a brand new espiritu that has never been played that i bought from Chris on line plus i also have an autographed muecci signed by Jim Rempe also bought from Chris. So please look for them in the future. And again, thanks to everybody for their kind words and prayers.....................mike....:crying:

hi mike,

i am glad you can say to us that you are doing ok under these circumstances. but i also feel it is a heartbroken 'ok.' to my strange way of thinking, i think it is best that you are here to care for her as nobody else in this world can care for her as you can. that's a blessing to my way of thinking.

and for sure there is no need to make this "pool related" for this forum. of course it is by its very nature proper anyplace you choose. and as always the case we are all here to help each other.

i wish I could comfort you and your beloved, but i don't know how. please tell us her name, as i can only pray for you and yours and i hope to know her name for my prayers.

may G-d bless you both and your family,
miles
 
Mike,

Having lost my Mom in nearly the same fashion, I empathise with you. I can only wish others on this forum knew you better. You are one of the really good guys. My thoughts are with both of you my friend.

Deepest sympathies...

All I can do is send both of you and your family the best of intentions. Bless you brother,

Hi Mike,

I am so sorry to hear about your wife, your lover, your best friend. I know she feels your love surrounding her. I pray that she will not be in pain, and that your grief is bearable with the help of your loved ones and your other family here. God's blessings on you both.

Linda
 
May GOD be with you and your wife.

Mike:

I hope that you keep the faith! I am positive that GOD is looking over and going to take great care of your wife!! I recently lost someone very close to me so, Please don't hesitate if you need anything at all! I know you don't know me from the next guy. But I believe we are a small family in the billiard industry!

Take care!

hi mike, thinking about you and your wife all day, hoping for the best and;

it all makes me think of the song that i danced to with my daughter at her wedding this past march;

"you are so beautiful" by joe cocker.

it made me feel so wonderful at that occasion, maybe it will make you sad now at this time, but i always found that song so PERFECT for expression of love. and i feel that is the way you feel in your heart, so maybe it will be of consolation as i hope.

here it is with joe and pavarotti: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29zQGhnKQck

and here is joe by himself:

i know your pain. and all i can say is, i hope this helps.

your friend, G-d bless,
miles

It's certainly no fun to watch a loved one go that route. I had to do it with my mom a couple of years ago, and now I think it's getting started with my dad.

All I can say is, no matter how bad it gets - it gets better in the end.
 
Hang in there, it's tough going thru what you're going thru. Do the best you can do...

I hope the best for you.
