This morning I lost the my best friend, lover ,wife and companion To cancer. She fought a valiant fight for 7 months She p***ed peacefully at 1:30 AM This morning at home. I was by her side right to her last breath. We were married for 48 years and enjoyed each other the whole time. I feel as though a large hand reached into my chest and ripped my heart out. I have never been hurt so bad in my life. Don't know what else to say.
Donn, I am so sorry to hear this. I had no idea that was a battle you two were in. I have had and have known many people that have fought cancer, some have won, some have not. There is a book called Final Gifts, It is for anybody who is, or has, or will be dealing with a dying loved one. It does ease a bit of the pain. Although nothing can make it all better Thoughts and prayers with you Kelly
My mom past away a few years ago and my dad started to go downhill, 49 years of marriage. I kept giving him things to do, with me of course, and eventually he realized that he has a life to live. He said nothing will replace her but he remarried at the age of eighty. He still talks about mom, a lot, but he enjoys his life with his second wife. I not sure this will help you but there it is, take care.
Donn, I am so sorry about your wife,I can't begin to imagine the loss you are feeling...draw strength from your family and friends, including all of your friends here, our thoughts are with you Donn. Steffon
So sorry to hear this news Donn. My thoughts and prayers go out to you. WE all tend to joke about our wives nagging us, but they sure leave a big hole in your life when they are gone. Hang in there man.

Donn, No words that I could type would express my condolences. Just remember the good times and know that you gave her the greatest comfort you could being by her side. You are a much stronger man than I.
I have not been on this site for awhile, sorry to hear of your loss. There isn't any words that can ease the pain, I know from experience, but hang in there my friend.
