    I'm sorry that I have an off topic avatar. My 38 Plymouth is buried in the back of the garage and can't get a picture of it. Anyway, I lost my wife of 33 years Friday. She p***ed from a heart attack after being sick for awhile. This is the most devastating thing I have ever been through. I somehow feel that anything in the past is not important anymore. Thanks for listening.

    You have my sincere condolences. Remember time heals all wounds. I know this doesn't help much now.

    That's tough. I remember that feeling when I lost my dad very suddenly 5 years ago. Thinking of you. The HAMB family is with you.

    The fact that you turned to the HAMB in this time of sorrow shows that you know have a support group here that will listen and help you as best we can, through these painful times.

    My sincere condolences to you sir. My kids always ask me why I take all the pictures and I am never in them - my answer - I want everyone to “see” what a great life I had through my eyes when I am gone. I am sure after 33 year you have numerous great memories - be thankful for that and discuss them often.

    I’m very sorry for you, 33 years is a long time. I went thru that 25 years ago. Not every day is better, but they do get better over time. An older friend who was also widowed told me “this is your new life, make the best of it for yourself and those you love”

    I found that valuable advice. Bless you.

    Just a thought, diving into that Plymouth might be the therapy or diversion you need now. Good luck, and try to stay positive.

    I'm sorry bud. Keep yourself busy, nothing worse than a man alone with his thoughts.

    Lemondana, I truly feel your pain on a very personal level.
    I too lost my wife of 37 years, 11 years ago from the evil that is cancer. A part of me died with her. At least it feels that way.
    Regardless of the cause, it IS devastating. It changes you. The only thing I might imagine to be worse is losing a child.
    Hang in there. I'd like to tell you things will get better with time, but the pain never goes away. One just learns to live with it.

    I know what you are going through having lost my wife 3 weeks after our 37th anniversary. I want to caution you to not make any permanent decisions like selling your 38 or your home give it some time it will get better, I think about her every day. Will be praying for your and your family.Doug
