Mr. Ozark, I'm very sorry for your lost. My prayers are with you and your family.
I can tell allot about a man on how he treats his woman. The way you always talked about your wife has always been top notch. Your words and actions will always be an inspiration to myself and others.
My Condolences, Steve

Ben, I am sorry for your loss. Rest in the fact that she is in a better place and waiting for you until God's plan for you comes to an end. You are still here for a purpose, your family. You are the patriarch and they are going to need you more than ever. God bless you and your family Ben. Our prayers are with you. Joe

You and your family are in our prayers.

Just sharing my feelings: If it was Gods will to end the Angels life His will sentenced me for life without her which is severe punishment. It feels even cruel. I can't think of any reason I should be punished. I guess anger is all part of it. I thought I was getting better but today I am emotionally and mentally suffering and feeling cheated. Sorry, I am not going to deny the truth. Ben

Ozark,
You and I have similar trains of thought. We both would also probably trade place with the one who is gone so that they could have remained. Then I wonder, if they would feel cheated...by losing us and remaining. Although I am not in your shoes, I was trying to prepare myself for these thoughts a few weeks ago when my girlfriend was in ICU with a botched blood transfusion. I was not even close to being prepared on such short notice.
It all boils down to things not being perfect. We can't go at the same time as our loved one....unless it is by calculation which is not the best way either....or by sheer luck (or unluckiness) of a accidental mortal mistake made together. When reading the weekly obituaries in my town, 99.9% of the time someone is left to cope with it. So it appears that we all will suffer this grief at some point in our lives.
I hope you find the comfort you need to continue with life in a healthy frame f mind. I'm sure those around you, including us, want very much for you to be part of future days and good times. However, all well wishes and good intentions by others can not erase the loss of someone. I hope I am as lucky as you to share 60 years of perfection...but I would have to live to 101. I believe that someone who never found the right person and passes has suffered to a higher degree....even though they never knew it.
Stay as strong as you can

I am in a better frame of mind this morning. Being with the angel those many years more than pays for the suffering that has been my recent life. I am going to make the best of it. I am thankful that I have no debts to worry me and that my daughter is here with me. She and her husband are both eager to assist me in any way they can. And, having the fine folks on this forum to share things with is a big help. I appreciate you all. I am going to be ok. Thanks, Ben

Ben, glad to hear you are in a better frame of mind. try to look at it this way. You had your Angel longer than most. for that matter longer than some live. you were very lucky to have her in your life period. you built a life and many great experiances with her threw the years you can carry with you. She may be gone but far from forgoten. GOD is not punishing you even though it may feel that way. you are a too good person for that. Death is an unfortuante part of life. we all must endure it some time in one way or another.
keep your spirits up. you still have a life worth living for your wonderful offspring and much great knowledge to pass on.
