Not a good day today

[jim peacock]

A year ago today at 6am my wife of almost 48 years passed away. went up this morning and got the vase off her head stone and took it to the florsit and had some silk roses put in it and a couple of red and white hearts.
I know she would want me to get on with my life but some days are harder then others and this is one of thoses day.
I want to thank all of you for your support.
Between people like you and familiy and friends it has been much easier.
AGAIN THANKS.
Jim.

You hang in there my friend,your probably right in saying she would want you to get on with your life, but you are fortunate to have spent all that time together & I'm sure the memories will be with you forever & your family and friends will be with you also. I'll say a special prayer for you ....

God Bless you Jim

I lost my wife of 32 years in November 2008, 2 years and 2 months ago. I still talk to her every day. You're in my thoughts.

 

[jim peacock]

41 every since her death I feel like something inside of me is just gone,can not explain it.
Does that feeling ever start to let up.

My sympathies and condolences to you, Jim - just imagine her in Heaven smiling down on you - that might help a little bit . . .

I'm certainly no expert other than a similar shared experience. I still have the most vivid memory of the moments before she past at 5 AM that morning in our bed with me holding her. As for the hole..... it's there, and always will be, we learn to somehow continue. I've told folks I don't want these memories to 'go away', I'm just trying to teach myself to 'deal with them' better.

It took me a few weeks over a year to get back out in the garage. I have built Street Rods as a hobby for years, and Nan loved those cars too. My '41 Ford Pickup I built as an homage for my wife, in pink and white with a cancer awareness theme and i just finished it in time for her to actually drive it out of the garage.

Try to force yourself to restart something you may have let go that you used to enjoy and cherish. Your wife will come along and be there to refresh some of those really good memories.

Thinking of you.
I do know God told us He will never give us more than we can bear , if we seek him first.
I believe what God says but, He can sure take us real close to the edge!
Blessings to you my friend.

I'm the last one in my Family tree, every one is gone now, and it's hard at times, I'm lonely for my family , and only God know what I would do if I lost my wife, like your wife , my wife is the world to me, my dad would always say "" son do what you got to do"..I feel that your love ones feel when you are blue, I feel that she would not want you to grieve, but it's O.K.,...you'll know now to get out in the world again... but find something you love to do...and remember only the good times....walk with God for only he can open doors for you...only Jesus can repair the heart, and remrember God gave his son for you and now he has his arms around your wife and when God is ready you both will togather again.....

Lost my wife in 2002. Those who say it gets easier, are wrong, but you do learn how to live with it better. I still talk to her in the evening, and when I get up, and it took a few years before I was able to do those things that we used to do together.
I have this on my wall, taken from one of the sympathy cards I received:

"Though my eyes cry because you are gone, my heart sings because you were here."

Save those good memories and they can be a real comfort in the coming years. God Bless you as you move through this.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope your wonderful memories of 48 years can bring smiles through your sadness. Those of us who are lucky enough to live long marriages are so blessed. We just celebrated 36 years.

 

[Blondie Gal]

John and I are not young anymore, and this September we will have been married for five years. We won't have 48 or 36 years with each other, but we treasure every day that we have together. Be proud of all the days and nights you were lucky enough to share.

Jim, you are in my prayers, & I pray God will shine his light over you & your family. My world got turned upside down when I lost my daughter on aug.2nd 1992. My soul was empty, I didn't know how to handel this . I got Baptized & asked Jesus for help. He has helped me, & I know he will help you to . If you have any question please pm me. I don't know much, but I know what help me . May God bless you & your family.

Jim: We will pray for strength for you. They say the good Lord never gives you more than you can bear. But sometimes, just sometimes, he sure piles it on! I can't even imagine what life must be like for you without your beloved wife! We've been together for 38 years & I sure cannot envision life with my Wifey. But life goes on & you have to be strong, if only coz she would have wanted you to. God Bless you.

Hi Jim: Another fellow Hoosier here. On behalf of myself and my wife you have our heartfelt prayers. We lost our 21 year old daughter in April of 2007 to Leukemia. There is not a day that goes by that we do not think of her. When I get that empty feeling I try to think of something humorous or meaningful that we did together. I find that it helps with the feeling of emptiness and loss. If you ever venture to Bedford give me a yell.

Jim, I feel for you and can relate as well. I lost my wife Carole to Cancer in Oct.08. She was only 50 and we were together for 15 years. We took the opportunity in between Chemo sessions to travel, once to Scotland where she had me play the Old Course at St. Andrews and a trip to sunny Cozumel, Mexico. I talk to her when I pray and miss her still. I hope you can realize that these women in our lives have always only wanted the best for us as they love us. I sometimes wish I had had the power to do more, but she was taken by the disease and nothing more could be done. Be strong Jim, be yourself and enjoy life. David in Canada.
