She’s gone

David J

My dear wife passed away this afternoon. An accomplished attorney, a loving wife, and the best person I’ve ever met. 15 years after retiring from the law because of this awful disease. My dear, beautiful, caring girl is gone. I don’t know what I am going to do now. 47 years together, everything to each other, and no children. I am devastated and lost.

So sorry to hear! Know that she's in a good place now, and her suffering has ended. Hope you can start taking good care of yourself and live again. May the memories of her help to  keep her by your side and carry you through.

Dearest David, I am so deeply heartfelt sorry for the unimaginable grief of having lost your beloved wife who was such an amazing person.

May the recalling of how you cared and took care be some bit of solace to you as you face these difficult days.   You went the distance and cared so much; if she could tell you, she would say how much that meant and how much she loves you.

Dear David,  please accept my sincere condolences on your loss.  So many of us know how you are feeling tonight.   Maybe it might help just a bit to know that your dear wife is no longer in the throes of alzheimers.  She is well now, David, just as she was when you all got married. Knowing that is one thing that helped me get through my loss.  Take care and rest.  She's still with you, in your heart.

I’m so sorry for your loss.  47 years is a long time and I know the last several have been extremely hard.  Please rest, grieve, take some time to step away from us and then come back when you are ready

David,

My deepest sympathies to you on the loss of your wife.   I have followed your journey closely, and know what a faithful, devoted caregiver you’ve been—and a very generous and thoughtful contributor to this board of your reflections  and experiences.

It’s a blessing that your wife is no longer suffering, but you are shattered.   I hope your memories of many good years with your wife help, over time, to make you whole again.

I'm so sorry for your loss, David. My DH died 4 months ago today so I truly understand that losing a spouse is the most painful thing in the world and it seems so surreal.  

My condolences!

David, I am so sorry to learn of your DW’s  passing.  There is a lot of loss on this board lately, but that doesn’t make it any easier when you are the one bearing the burden.  I pray for peace going forward; your loss seems to be doubly hard when you have been everything to one another for so long.  Blessings.

David, my condolences. She is at peace, and I wish for you to find peace as you move forward with her spirit inside you.

David I am so sorry for your loss, and not having any children to share your suffering with makes it twice as hard to bear, also I feel that couples that do not have children have a much stronger bond to each other and a huge, huge, hole is left in their heart when one passes away.  I do hope you have family and friends that will help you through the days ahead. God’s Blessings to you.  Richard
