[__ Prayer __] My wife Nancy passed away today.

[Papa Zoom]

So sorry!
When my wife passed I felt like I had been ripped in two and half of me taken away.
My first question was, "Who am I now?"
That was 18 years, 3 months and 12 days ago.
Big hugs to you.

That pretty much sums it up. I'm making the slide show of her life in pictures. Talk about a heart tugging job! One thing is I'm enjoying the pictures of when I met her. Gosh she's beautiful. I lucked out! Beautiful to the end but as we age, the beauty of a person runs deeper I think. I miss her so much.

Today I accidentally pressed the spare garage door opener and the dogs went nuts. I had to close the garage and open the door to the garage. They ran to her car in the garage looking for her. :/ Poor babies don't know she's gone. But they sure are a comfort to me. Little dogs and they sleep with me. When it's cold, they cuddle. Not that same as her cuddle but a cuddle just the same.

Blessing in Jesus - Dan

Poor babies. But I've said it once and I'll say it again. This isn't goodbye, it's only see you later and although Nancy might be gone in the flesh, she will never be gone in the spirit.

Just stopping in to say hello and say that I'm doing okay. I'm making progress on the transitions that are necessary when someone passes on (social security, medicare, supplemental insurance, phone, on and on) Plus each day I call several people from her phone book to be sure they have heard the sad news. There are moments I find myself not believing she's really gone. It's a strange thing. Like a momentary denial or something.

The next several days will be crazy. Tomorrow family will fly in, my son will arrive, and we have a few more preparations to do for the service. I am off to bed. Doggies woke me up at 6 again. Stinkers...

Same here when I lost my grandpa. You've known them so long and when there gone it doesn't really kick in until later.

Me too. I know that feeling myself. I lost my Papaw in 99 and my grandma in 2008. They both knew the Lord, but that doesn't mean that it made things any easier for me to lose them.

Papa Zoom I will be thinking of you tomorrow
I know the Lord will be with you every second giving you love, comfort and strength.
God Bless dear brother.

 

[Pegasus]

Good words. Encouraging. It's day 12 and I'm at the house now staying on my own. This is my second day here. It's going well. Lots to do when someone dies - especially a spouse. I'm making progress however. God bless.

Dan

Dan praying for you and family on this day.

So true. And thank you Brock for the nice card. That was very thoughtful of you and very appreciated. Thanks to everyone for their prayers. I was married 44 years. She knew me well and our love was growing stronger as aged together. A lovely thing.

hi. Having never been married myself, I've kind of...stayed out of this. I've prayed for you and your family, I just don't have a whole lot to offer, except...

Jesus is there, even (especially?) in the storm. I've seen this in Verna's life. After she lost Ronnie, she grieved, and grieves to a point, even now, but...she's kept on, leaning on Christ, even as her own health woes began to mount and her kids went crazy on her.

You're a valuable member here, btw. I know a lot of people don't consider CFnet church, but...for some of us (fingers pointed at -this guy-), this is realistically about as close to church as we'll get, at least for a while. Having members like you...who are open with their frailty, successes, set backs, and now the tragedies of life...make a big, big difference.

You're in my prayers.
