I've moved this thread to the Personal User Announcements forum, which is really a more appropriate place for it. However, I've left a sticky with a link to it in General Non-auto.

 

Carl, my thoughts and prayers are with you, your wife, and family.
I'm sending a big hug across the miles, and although none of us are there to give some physical comfort, know that we wish we were there to help you in your time of sorrow.

Carl,
I too am unknown by you and your wife but God knows us all. Through Him we are united in a family so closely knit that no one or nothing can bring us down. My prayer is that you and your wife know and trust our lord and saviour Jesus Christ so that this seperation will be but temporery until you two are together again in God's presents.

"But as many as receive Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name" (John 1:12).

 

pray

God is the only answer in all problems in life. He does not give us more than we can handle, even though it often seems like it. Take your worries and cares to him. He will handle everything. The main thing is to take everything to him and leave them there. He will handle it if you let him. You're in our prayers.

 

She will go in peace, you will stay behind.

She will be at rest, you will be hurting, and we understand that.

We are here for you, always. Don't do something dumb!

Wherever she goes, she is somewhere waiting for you.

But she would always want the best for you

As long as you are here. And so do we

If you need our help we are here

You are not done yet...

 

I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinkin about ya man. I've been praying every day for you and your family. God bless.

 

you all are the best.. i had a couple minutes to ck in as she's napping. saying thanks in NO way does justice to all that have posted. let me put it this way, when i'm not here i'm in tears because of the situation here @ home, when i ck in here i'm in tears from the support people i'll probably never meet have shown me. not just from this thread but during the past yr. God bless all of you. there is a special place in His home for people like you all. i will @ some pt pm all of you because it's what i'll need to do to say thanks. she's comfortable except for the itch from the shingles(caused by the stress from this). again, thank you & Bless you

I sorta know what you are going thru.I lost my first wife 18 years ago but I was only 22, and we had only been together for a short time.Just remember that prayer works and she is going to a better place.spend all the time you can with her,it'll help. My family will say a little prayer for you all. God Bless. Dave& Teresa.

 

My hope and prayers are with you....

 

My prayers and thoughts are with you also.
I lost my wife just 4 1/2 years ago at the age of 47 to cancer. She left behind three children, the youngest is now 7 and I know she is watching over all of them, especially the 7 year old as he has Asperger's Disorder.

It has been tough for the last 4 years and time has healed most of the wounds from her loss but life goes on and I decided 3 years ago to put my life in the Lord's hands and not let my son see me grieve.

No amount of words can ease the pain but please know that she will be in a better place than this world.

 

As I read through these threads I can feel your pain, my wife spends most of the time with her father in his last days. I have gotten where I don't want to answer my phone for fear of what the news will be. Weeks like this one are very tough as my company has me working in New Jersey. I pray that your wife has her eternal plans already made.

 

I still am not sure if this is the best link to post. But it may help you.

And you need to be strong and heal yourself.
Pain means you are hurt. And you are in pain...

Look upon her and smile. No words will need to be said. She will surely know that you think of fond memories...and two hearts filled with love.

There is strength in knowing that someone loves you.....and remembers.....

The best of memories to you and your family.

 

Please remember to include God in your healing. He can do a much better job at it than we can along.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Phil 4:13

 

Carl,

You are both in our prayers. It is times like these that we realize what we have been blessed with. It is a sad time, but you should be celebrating your life together. Forget about High gas prices, work, and FTE... Just hold your wifes hand, watch old home movies , or look over old photos. Remember your life together so that you both have a chance to relive the moments that meant so much..

I hope my words help you I know yours have been an inspiration to me..

God Bless
