I lost my first serious love 27 years ago when I was engaged at 20. She was killed in a car wreck. I am blessed with a wonderful wife now and family, but she still has her lil part in my heart. It was my mom that pulled me through that.

It's a terrible pain...again, I am truly sorry

Armistead -

My thoughts are with you, mate. I know it's hard, even when it is expected. Go easy on yourself for the next few weeks - believe it or not, it'll sneak up on you when you least expect it - it did for me after I lost my mother in November.

Sorry for your loss Growler, sure it's still fresh.

I wish you the best Vendor, you're a good fellow. I can't imagine the pain of such loss, that's still so young. I hope your OK, as you know, just no words.

Yea, it creeps up on you. I think when you deal with a ill person for a period you become emotionally drained. I just feel blank and empty, almost refusing pain I guess. I saw her today and felt it finally. She was the rock of our family, life will never be the same..
Remember, I share that feeling also,Sorry, but we must try to cope through this..

Vendor & Armistead,
To me, Love is defined by a tear-drop so, best let 'em roll for a while.

Only Time can ease the loss, but that tear-drop will always come back, and the Love will last forever in that reserved space in your heart.

I'm sorry for your loss.
It ain't easy.

Gerald,

Sorry to hear about this. My condolences. I don't know where I would be without mine.

Have a hug and a beer on me.

I seem to have missed this thread somehow. Apologies for my tardy condolences, Vendor.

I've never been a married man, nor have I much desire to be one, so I can't honestly say that I understand what you must have felt or what you feel now, but I know enough to appreciate the rarity and beauty of a good marriage. You have my sympathies to the extent I can offer them and my prayers for your future happiness in the face of such a loss. God bless your Marie.

Gerald, my deepest condolences to you, words cannot do this justice.
There's nothing worse than losing someone you love.
Keep fighting to keep the memories!
