I just saw this thread. I did poke my head in here often.

I am so sorry for your loss. You have my most heartfelt condolences.

As someone who has lost many. This is what I can say:

Keep her in your heart and your mind and she will never by truly gone from you. Carry her with you everyday and she will remain with you

Time is the only thing that helps. As you said above, day by day it gets easier. Try to remember the smiles, laughs and hugs and you will find the memories get easier, and better.

We all meet our end. So few of us really live. Sounds like she did. Bless you and your family, John.

JS.

My wife, the love of my life passed away on July 24th 2024. She was sick for a very long time & she fought hard every step of the way. She was the strongest & most selfless person I have ever known. I am beside myself. For the past 3 years my whole life was taking care of her every need. Now I don't know what to do with myself. I just feel very empty & lost. I know this is a knife forum, but I've been here a long time & just need to vent to my knife brothers & sisters. If anyone else has experienced this, I would appreciate some guidance.
We were together for 27 years. I've lost my mom & dad & most of my family but none of that compares to this.
Here's her obituary. I don't know what else to say, except thank you for your condolences & blessings.

Sorry to hear about your loss.
We have more in common than you know being a 5 plus year stage 4 caretaker myself.
The road won't be easy, and the path traveled won't be forgotten, it's a path few travel leaving you alone to work through it because few can relate to the loss, time, and pain being by their side watching the one you truly Love slowly dying before your eyes for Years, fighting to keep her alive whatever it took without sleeping because you were always on call alone to deal with issues as they happened.
We are the few who seem to run into the fire instead of running from it, to try and save someone.
My hope is that you can find Peace to live out your life and enjoy some happiness once again.
