I must step away from FABO for a while
Mike,
In 3 days you will have made it thru the hardest year of your life. Although the hurt never goes away completely, time helps us adjust to such a devestating loss.
She may be gone from this earth, but she WILL live on in your heart and memories.
How do I know with not going thru such a thing myself? I watched, and am still watching, my mother-in-law live thru it. She woke up in the middle of the night to her nonreponsive husband of 24 years. He was 49 years old with no known health issues. He had a massive heart attack in his sleep. That was 25 years ago this coming December. I remember that 0230 phone call like it was yesterday. I only got to know him for two and a half years. We still tell stories on and about him. I've watched my MIL grow into a stronger woman than she ever was.
Praying for comfort and strength for you my friend.
