Well, its almost here. Another milestone, on this lonely road. I think I do pretty well most of the time, but these milestones are murder. I really do appreciate, all my friends here, who have gone through what I have. Of course, i appreciate those who have not as well. What I am trying to say, is that Wednsday, wouyld have been mine and my wife's 3rd Wedding Anniversary. I just dont know how I can go on at times, but I know that I will. Time stops for no man or woman, rich or poor, power or powerless. We all have to endure, what life throws at us. It is because of my faith, that I know I will see her again. I have to believe that, or if not, what is the point in living. Fear not, for I know I will get through this, with a little help from my friends. |

Yes Rick, you will get through this. As you said, at times you feel like you can't go on, but I don't think your wife would have wanted to quit. I think faith is a big part of life. I know one day I will see my Son and my Mom. Today is my Mom's birthday, she would have been 93. I know it is very hard Rick, but just keep her memories close to you. I will be thinking of you D.

R, fortunately, I have not suffered the kind of pain and loss that you've suffered so I cannot say that I understand it. But I do know that time usually heals many wounds. I pray that one day you will begin to live a full and happy life again because you deserve that. We all do. And I believe your late wife would have wanted that for you. Blessings, my friend.

Hi Elvis: So many of us are going through the loss of someone we loved. Its very difficult to think of a future without them, but some things we just can't change. I think that joining this group was a good first step. All the best to you.

Rick, life does go on. I have been widowed twice - both were heart wrenchers. Eventually you will get to that place where YOU feel you need to move forward and LIVE again. That takes longer for some than others, but it is a fact of life that you will get there. You have wonderful memories that you will never forget - but don't make the mistake of closing your heart to another great love. She wouldn't have wanted that. A gov't big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have.

So sorry things will get better you won't forget, but the hurt will not be so painful as time goes on, God Bless Love is just a Word until someone you meet gives it a meaning.

Yes, sweet man, you will go on. You will continue to recover and you will love life again. I, like you, can't imagine a life without faith in God. There are so many people with whom I will spend eternity. I can honestly say that I look forward to it. I don't want to go yet, but when it's my time to go....I'll be ready. Hang in there, sweet friend. You're doing great!

Dear Rick, it does get better believe me. As you know I have been widowed twice and also lost my beloved son. I also lost my friend that taught me so much last year. It was hell. That horrendous time I can never forget but I have put it behind me or else I would have gone bezerk. Time is a great healer of our wounds. So is our faith. Bless you and hopefully you will survive those horrible times and be able to live and love again. Take Care. Your friend. Casey

Rick, I hope that each year will bring you more peace. She is in a much better place now. I too have strong faith and without that this world would be almost unbearable. I haven't had the kind of loss you have had, but I've had some tough ones. Time heals all wounds. I will be thinking of you Wednesday. Blessings to you, and I pray you heal completely one day and can begin life anew. Never regret growing old, the privilege is denied to many. -Anonymous

Hi Elvis, Reading your profile again; NO, your dearly beloved would NOT want you to go on along. In as much as you feel sometimes you can't go on, just remember...SHE WOULD WANT YOU TO GO ON. When I think of you I think of the little girl, at age 10, who lost her father from a heart attack. As she sobbed she looked up at her grandmother and said, "Grandma I think my heart is going to break in to". As sad as it was the grandmother couldn't take away the hurt, she could only comfort the little girl the best she knew how. This is how I and many, many others feel about you. We know your heart is breaking, most of us can't truly understand the hurt you are going through but we are here to let you know we care and we are "ONLY AN EMAIL AWAY"...God Bless you. Paris

Blessings and Hugsssssssssssssssssss ........ Pattie
