Sorry to hear that Yancy. That thought often crosses my mind as my wife and best friend are going on 48 years of marriage and I knew her 4 years before that. I'm sure after 38 years she would want you to continue your enjoyment of the old Cat hobby. Just won't be the same.

Yancy,
My condolences, so sorry to hear that. My wife of 37 years & best friend of almost 40 years passed away from cancer in 2009. Like the others say, hang in there...I won't kid you, there will be tough times, but it will get better. Don't be hasty in giving up the things that mean a lot to you, that's what will help you have the strength you need. With the help of my kids, family, & friends, I made it through those times & I have now started another life I never knew I would ever know, I got married 4 weeks ago to another fine woman. I know it's hard to see it now, but life will go on. There are many who have had to go down that road.
Don't know what else to say, just have faith...

Hi, Yancy44.
I offer you my condolences at this time of loss for you. The only other thing I would say is this: "Ask yourself if your late wife would have wanted you to stop living when she died or would she have wanted you to go on living as full and happy a life as you can."

I lost my first-born son to leukaemia at age 4 1/2. I had TWO HOURS of grieving - SIX WEEKS BEFORE he died, after his mother and I were told that the doctors had run out of treatments and that he had about 6 weeks to live. At the end of that two hours, I changed my perception of the situation. KNOWING that NONE of us are going to get out of this life 'alive' and that it is not a matter of 'if' but rather a matter of 'when', I decided to celebrate having known him for the 4 1/2 short years that I did know him and to be thankful for the wonderful examples of his love and his courage. I have not grieved for him since that moment but have indeed celebrated and been thankful.

I did the same thing when my mother passed away with leukaemia 10 years later.

Just my 0.02. Hope it helps.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

My condolences to you too Yancy.

We take living for granted, only to be reminded by the passing away of a loved one of how frail life actually is.

May you find peace and strength in this time.

I also want to echo what others on here has said: Take it one day at a time, even one minute at a time, and live life like there's no tomorrow.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
