Really awful news has been delivered to my wife and I
- Thread starter Bill16
- Start date
They know each other, but I don't think they are fans of each other.
I will just have to be careful not to hurt anyones feelings, as I try to be more outgoing.
I promised my beloved I would try to live, and this is part of that effort.

Glad to hear you will be able to get out and spend some time with these guys. Who knows, perhaps if they hear about one another, they may want to meet each other. Would be nice if all three of you could fish together once in a while, too.

Deepest condolences on your loss Bill.
I feel lost without my wife. None of the finances are set yet, and so I'm still worried about that. I'm doing a little cleaning and clearing out, though it feels like I'm losing a part of my beloved as I go along.
Evan, my wife's son is going to see if I can have a small urn of my beloved's ashes. So I will always feel like a part of her is always with me.
The fishing trip for today didn't happen, and I admit I am a bit dissapointed. But maybe it will workout on another day.

Thank you all for helping me through this awful ordeal. I should end this thread, since my wife has passed on, and I'm sure she is in a good place now. Now starts my time alone and my learning to live without my beloved. I promised my love that I would do my best.
God bless you all, as I count you all as great friends! Maybe eventually I will be able to get back to enjoying my photography, as my sweet love wanted!

Well said!
And if you needed more proof ... this thread is in "Off Topic" and so doesn't have to be photography related in the slightest.
Bill, with the passing of my brother l had to learn that he would not want me to die with him, instead to live for him and to enjoy life deeper than ever before. It is way to soon for you, but hang in there and continue to connect with people and you will get there. Blessings

I am so sorry to hear this Bill.
We all have role to play In the Big Guy's scheme of things and we are not always allowed to know what that is. So we have to hang in there despite our despair. You are still here so you still have much to contribute in one way or the other and all of us are here to support you in that role. I lost my first love 55 years ago to very tragic circumstances and managed to hang on and hopefully have contributed to others in the intervening years and I believe that you will also. You have my number and do not hesitate to call if I can be of any assistance to you.

No amount of time is enough with someone we love Bill. I had scarce a year with my first love and spent many years in despair and anger. But time moves on and we must also. And you shall, my friend. Take comfort in the time you were blessed to spend together and honor what you know her wishes for you would be.

Bill, it is normal for you to feel sorry for yourself at a time like this, it is part of the grieving process.
In Australia there are a couple of organisations, such as "Beyond Blue" who offer free counselling to help people through hard times, I am sure it would help to be able to talk with someone. Is there anything like that over your way ?

My first wife (my college sweetheart) died when she was 39. I can sorta relate. All I can say is cherish both her memory and the time you have left here on earth. And if you're having trouble filling up your time, perhaps there are some worthy volunteer organizations in your area that could use a hand. Good luck.
So I went fishing with my friend Matt, and he seems like he will be a good fishing buddy. But today I mainly felt numb, and then someone stopped by us fishing. He was someone my wife liked and after telling him my wife passed I was even more dead feeling inside.
But I tried to not show it and with no bites luckly we cut the fishing short this time. Maybe next time I will more with it, and maybe I'll even enjoy it a little bit at least.
