I hope I go before my wife. I don’t know what I’d do without her. She takes care of finances and insurance and stuff. I just cook and vacuum.

sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear this. It really isn’t fair.

If there is a specific charity or cause that you would like donations for in her honor, please let us know.

Sorry for your loss. Prayers for family and friends! Cherish the great memories!

Sorry for your loss. May she R.I.P.

Sorry for your loss. I hope things can go as well as they possibly can for you and your loved ones in this difficult time.

Thoughts, prayers, and I hope you find peace.

Member since 1992. 1st wife had cystic fibrosis and she made it to the average age for CFer's at that time, 25. I was 30. Try not to crawl in a shell. I was a zombie for the 1st year or so after. Did find another good woman 5 years later. Wasn't looking but it happened. You never know what's coming down the road although I know right now it feels like a Mack truck.

Sorry for your loss. So sad she died young, but it sounds as though you gave her great love and a great life during her time here. That is so much more than many people ever get to experience. I know you don't believe in prayer, but I will say one for you and hope your pain eases with time, while never forgetting the great women she was to you.

Hang in there. The pain can be good. It's there because of the immense love you felt. Life isn't fair and you can't change time. Just try to cherish the great memories you had and hopefully she will live on with you. Condolences.

Those services were put on by her side of the family. I wasn't keen on my wife's death being used as an opportunity to hold mass thus I was not at that service. They are welcome to grieve in their own way and I wasn't going to stand in their way.

I had her party today, at our farm, with the people that ACTUALLY knew her, with the people that actually care about me.

Hope the truth was as interesting as your imagination. :D

Thank you for the well wishes. We had a great party for Cathy today. I'm overwhelmed, exhausted, dehydrated, and wide awake yet still yawning my face off.

Everyone has gone to bed now. I'm the only one left awake. I'm gonna cuddle the dogs and watch some TV while I go to sleep in her office chair and listening to my chicks peeping madly (chicks are in the house and in a kennel in our computer room).

This is all ridiculous and surreal. I got a memorial tattoo for her on my forearm. Can't help but see it all the time. She will be with me forever. I will accomplish everything we set out to do on this farm or I will die trying.

Didn't get to spread the ashes because weather was shitty and I didn't want my wife to clump in our yard. lol

Gonna wait for a nice windy day. Gonna sit outside with the dogs and wait for a hawk to fly overhead... then let her go fly with it.

Sorry for your loss Janx.

Lots of posters here were triggered by my respectfully asked question.

Thanks for answering. You have been quite vocal in your non-belief so the location of the service caught my attention.

Nice little try at a dig there. You will learn as she has.

Best of fortune in your grieving process.

I can't even imagine, man. I'm fairly confident I would cease being able to function for a year. Best of luck in working through it, and condolences.
