Lost The Love of my Life

As difficult as the last five years have been I never imagined that we would not battle it together for another 10 beautiful bride passed away last Friday after an extremely large brain bleed fortunately my son daughter-in-law and grandchildren were able to be present as she passed it is the most painful thing I have endured in my 58 years. We as a family are just now getting some comfort knowing that she has no more illness and she is happily in heaven with her mother and dad and the siblings are gone before her. Thank you all for your support in the past I will still check in on my friends that help me survive the time I was on these support boards. 

Sincerely 

B Hopper

    I am so sorry for your loss.  Right now you are in shock.  You have family, friends and neighbors to stand by  you.  But when life continues to move on and you can't, remember, you have friends here who know what you are going through and will stand with you as you continue to grieve.
