Thanks, I appreciate your message. Between the funeral, and the Celebration of Life (as she was from the USA, and passed away in Canada), over 200 people took the time to say goodbye to her, and all of us really appreciate everyone giving their condolences, it really does help.
Thanks, I do have some peace, but also flashes of anger about why this had to happen. It is indeed a hard blow, I still have times when I can't believe it has indeed happened, even though I was at the hospital for four days. I guess I am somewhat in denial.
My sincere condolences to you and your family, that is terrible news to hear of your wife’s passing away. I am sending best wishes to you and your family from here at the other end of the World in central Australia. Please take care and all the best.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate all of the caring comments that everyone has left for me. I know it isn't an easy subject to address , sometimes at funerals I couldn't find the words to say to comfort people, but one guy said that he had no words to express his feelings, and I had to agree with that.
Thanks, I appreciate your message, due to the forward passage of time I am being forced to move on with life. However it is going to take a long time to work thru the grieving process, which they say has 5 stages to it. I am still at the start, in spite of the fact that I was there when she passed, attended the funeral etc. I still have trouble believing it has happened, and isn't just a really bad dream! It was all so sudden, you come home from work on a Friday to find an ambulance in front of your house. My wife lived another few days, but she was never conscious, and once they told us there was no hope, we had to let her go. She went very quickly, and she was in no pain, so that was a blessing. I believe in an afterlife, so I am sure I will see her again, but the separation causes a very real pain. I think of her often, and remember the good times we had together. We were only married about 13 years, which wasn't long enough, but I am so glad that we had that much time together. We met by chance at a dance, she noticed me, and asked me to dance. Our courtship lasted about a year and a half, and had a few rocky moments, but we got over those, and we were a good fit for each other. She put up with my small engine hoard, and I helped her grow her elephant collection :) I am glad I have a youtube channel, as she appears on some of the videos. Sorry for rambling. Thanks again for caring. Miles
It's definitely not something fun to deal with and you're right you feel like a piece of you is gone I lost my wife in 2021 I shut down for over 6 months didn't work didn't do anything I think the hardest thing is you get used to them being there every day if any little thought pops into your mind you can tell them you see them every morning you see them every night and then they're gone they don't lie there besides you anymore they're not there when you wake up in the morning when you have something that you want to share or something that is exciting they're not there to turn to that is the hardest part to deal with and it's not a fast process I wish you all the best cuz I know it's not going to be fun the ups and downs the memories the little things trigger the flood of emotions I'm sorry that you've lost your wife and I do wish you all the best
Thanks so much for commenting, and all of the good advice. Sorry to hear that you lost your wife also. I feel like I have lost my mediator, as I can get a bit off the wall when left on my own. I talked my wife into singing a few songs on youtube, and listening to them helps, as I can hear her nice voice again. Yes, it was the little things that bothered me the most just after it happened, like emptying out the small garbage can by the couch where she put scraps of yarn into as she was crocheting baby blankets etc. I knew that it would never need to be emptied again. Our cats have occupied her side of the bed, as they miss her also, she was the cat mama, I am just the feeder now, they don't act the way towards me that they did to her. I have been back at work after about 2 weeks off, but I am still thinking about her everyday, and I don't think that will change any time soon. I have been through a divorce, but this is a whole different animal!
Thanks for your concern, I appreciate it. I am slowly getting over her passing away, but it will continue to take a long time. It was just such a shock, as there was really no warning.
Hi, I have been meaning to e-mail you forever, and just keep forgetting to do it! I am doing OK, but my brain doesn't always seem to function quite right, and I forget little things. I will send you an e-mail, though I can't be sure it will be very long, I was up until 3am finishing the video "The little old lady from Napanee" about my wife having a lead foot, though the 66 Charger and Hellephant motor is all phantasy, unfortunately! :).
Thanks, yes, it is a very hard loss to deal with for sure, it is gonna take a long time to feel normal again. I am just trying to do what I always have done, go to work, take care of the 4 cats, visit the scrapyard, fix the cars etc.
Thanks, much appreciated. This is a very tough time for me, and I really appreciate all of the messages folks are leaving. Take care. I just uploaded a memorial vid, with her singing a Roxette song.
Take your time to mend yourself. The only way to heal is time. You do you, the rest of us will be us. God bless you and your family, and may your wife rest in peace 🙏
Thanks, I will still make some videos, as I want to stay out there so to speak, instead of closing in on myself. I have visited the scrapyard a few times, the guys there are good supportive friends, who were just as shocked as I was about her passing away so suddenly. I will take flowers to the grave on Mother's day.
Thanks Mel, I appreciate it. My mother and i put the garden in today, man was it hot work! I have never seen so many wasps around, I used 3/4 of a can of WD40 killing them when they landed on some wood i have near the garden, I guess they bite it, and use the wood fiber to create their honeycomb.
So very sorry to hear the news, take your time to heal, losing someone you've been so close to for so long is never easy, so look after yourself, youtube can wait... :(
Thanks, I will still do some vids, you guys are my long distance friends, and I really appreciate the fact that you sincerely care about what has happened in my life, it helps me to start the healing process.
Thanks, good advice, I intend to follow it. Right now though, not much really appeals to me. I have been remembering the good times with her, as well as just the companionship.
@@ChargerMiles007 losing important person is always horrible. Now it is time to stop and just be. After some time try to do at least something that you enjoy. Bit a day. I have lost many important persons, I feel your pain.
Hang in there buddy, life always seems to throw you a curve when you least expect it. I'm sure Ellen is smiling down and admiring the flowers. Take care!
Howdy, yes, neither of us was expecting this, she had just bought a whole bunch of yarn to make a baby basinet for my daughter. Yes, she always liked the flowers, I have my work cut out this summer to keep everything watered.
My condolences. As one says time heals all wounds, while it's more like time normalizes them. So spend some of yours to help yourself find your new normal.
Thanks, yes time only normalizes them, my father passed away 50 years ago this year, and I still feel the pain that caused, it is just deeper below the surface.
Thanks, sorry to hear about your mom. Losing a parent is tough also, my father passed when I was young, 50 years ago this year, not something you will ever forget. But the memories live on with us our whole life.
Thanks, I appreciate it. We prayed for her in the hospital, and gave her a blessing, but in the end God wanted her on the other side. I was hoping for a different outcome of course, but now it is my lot to accept that for some reason it was her time. I am grateful that she didn't suffer, or make a recovery to be hospital bound the rest of her life. She was always an active person, and she was only laid up for a few days before she went to the hospital for 4 days. So she went quickly, which hurts, but can also be a blessing. The grieving I am going through feels like a part of me has gone with her, I am not trying to complain about it, just trying to explain how it feels. Sorry if I am babbling on. Take care.
Thanks, I appreciate the message. I am basically still in a state of shock I think, even though it has been almost a month. The spring was one of her favorite times of year, getting the garden planted etc. I will still be doing that, so I am going to very busy the next while, which is probably helpful to keep my mind off it. Take care.
I offer my deepest condolences to you and your family. I am sure in some way, those who have gone before us are keeping tabs on all of us. Their great love, fortified in harmony with God’s love, keeps that vital connection alive. They see us through our own eyes and ears and others around us. They cared what happened to us all ours and their lives. Love and faith conquers and transcends mortality! That concern and love does not die with the flesh as it comes from the glowing with love soul within, just like your own soul. Each person has their days in the Sun. Unfortunately, they cannot totally overlap with our own. But at least we had some that did, and in that precious time, are our blessings and memories to cherish. Once we get to Heaven, we will find, with the scale of Eternity, 100 years is just like a few seconds is on Earth. So, to those who have gone on to Heaven ahead of way too soon ahead of us, our loved ones and friends will turn and see us, smile and say, oh there you are! I was just wondering when you would get here! Life on here on Earth can be good, but often turns gritty and can be so nasty and miserable. We cling to life here because it is all we have experienced, remember and fear of such a major change and what it takes in making that transition. But we are all looking forward to an eventual existence in Heaven where there is nothing but joy forever and being with our loved ones and friends with no pain or misery of Earth. We have to realize that with or without our love one by our side physically, this is our time in the sun, to be on this earth, a time that God, with his greater than ours foresight, grants us for a purpose we cannot see in the present. There is always reason, a purpose, for continuing to be, whether that is to make a difference by inspiring others, or to be in the right place at the right time to save another person’s life from a tragic ending or maybe a whole group of people. We are here to spread good to others! Be open to that reason and purpose …
Thanks so much for taking the time to type out such a comforting message! I am sure that she is in a much better place now, especially since life on this Earth seems to be going to Heck in a handbasket in a big hurry! My wife and I both agreed on that.
Yes, I agree with that, for sure. I just wish I didn't have to go through this grieving process, but it is our lot to play the hand we are dealt. It has given me a slightly better insight into what the Saviors family felt after he was crucified, and it is not something you can get over quickly by any means. Resurrection will be a good thing, I can say good bye to my aches and pains!
So sorry to hear. Always loved the content. Take some time to take care of yourself.
Thanks, I will do that. I just can't seem to get away from fixing lawnmowers, especially at this time of year!
My condolences to you and your family
