sad times here

[upstate yank 219]

well guys I hope your holidays were the best and the new year is a better one for every one; though my so called holidays were not the best as last month on the 8th I lost my wife of 51 years as the doctors told me that she died from a massive heart attack ;this should not had happened as 3 years ago on the month of November she had open heart surgery  I was informed that at that time she was to weak at that time but they went though it anyways as she had a bad blood vessel to her heart and they took a blood vessel from her leg to replace the bad one ;now on top of that she was told that she was in the 4th stage of kidney failure it seemed that after all was said and done her doctor appointments were few and far ;when she came home from that surgery she was laid up for a few months and yes I was always here to help her so about 4 months ago she decided that she wanted to go back to work just part time at the air port here in Springfield Mo she loved the job as being a prep and only a 6 hour shift leaving at 3 in the morning and arriving back around noon' so on that day we sat at the table having a cup of coffee and chatting about super where she needed to go to bed and  sleep where I can take care of things well I left the room for maybe 15 minutes I heard a strange sound and noise so I came running back out and she was laying on the floor gasping for air I tried every thing that I could do than called 911 they arrived and she had a weak pulse it left but came back than again gone so they tried CPR than off they went to the hospital ;' after I arrived I was told that they really tried hard but she left ; so it must had happened fast as the time we chatting she never said any thing about any pain or any issues but she is like me bull headed and stubborn so now it seems I have to try to move on with out her but it going to be hard as she was the love of my life plus high school sweet hearts 'as far as my 6 wheel horses  that I have it seems that at this time I have lost interest  sorry for the long rant but again it is hard after 51 years to try to get my life in order

51 years is an exceptional time together, sir. I'm sure there are no words we can offer that will be of any consolation. That being said, please know others are thinking of you and praying for you during this time. I am so sorry for your loss, and pray God will give you peace and strength!

Prayers for you and your family...

 

Godspeed.

Wow that was tough to read. So very sorry.

  Red Square and all of us will be here if and when you want to talk about anything…not just tractors.

So very sorry for your loss, she sounds like she was an amazing woman. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Yes, please remember what Mike just said.    

We are here to help fill in the empty times. 

   On Dec 20, I nearly lost my love of 60 years, but the emergency room brought her back.   I can imagine how hard it would be able to handle the loss.

Try to stay active.   Renew relationships with family, old friends, social clubs, Red Square, crossword puzzles....anything to fill in the lonely times.

So sorry to read about your loss. I don't know how I would handle losing my wife of 50+ years. My condolences to you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, and thank you for sharing.  I know that we don’t KNOW you, but know that you can always lean on us.  I’m going on 16 years and it feels like we have more memories together than apart already.  Having been at a recent funeral of a 16 month old, and he being the 7th sibling in the family, we witnessed all kinds of reactions, grief, happiness that Declan was with Jesus, etc.  I know it doesn’t feel like it, but you will pull through one way or another.

Its tough aint it!!

 

I can sure know of how it is. Two yrs ago, day after thanksgiving I lost my little bride of 62 yrs to that awful alzheimers  disease. Fortunately?? she - and I - only had about 3 yrs of it, unlike so many that linger 10-12 yrs.

 

I had a couple horses in the line up and I just forced myself to start the work on them, and, it helped .... to stay BUSY and try not to find your self just sitting.

I am sorry for your heartbreak and loss.

 

While there is pain and suffering in the world, Jesus accomplished absolute victory over suffering and death on the cross. He promised he would never leave us, and I do believe that.

May you somehow feel his closeness and unfailing love during this unbearable time.

I’m so sorry to hear about your wife. The wheel horse community here at redsquare always have shown me they are here for each other. Don’t be afraid to vent.

My condolences for your loss. We are in the Lords hands and he has a plan for each of us.  Look to your family, as they need you and you need them.  As others have said, your Wheelhorse family is also here for you.
