A Beautiful Light Has Gone Out Of My Life


    A beautiful light has gone out of my life today at 12:55
    I said to my wife, "Laureen, I love you!", and her last words were, "I love you..." as I heard her breath become quieter until I could not hear or feel it anymore - I could not detect her pulse in her neck.

    We had just had the consultant in before hand and he knew what we feared, myself and daughter, that this was the last goodbye.

    We have been married for 35 years and 50 weeks, two weeks from Tuesday would have been our 36th wedding anniversary on the 9th of November.

    I am in absolute grief and shock.

    My heart is broken.


    Never have I been so loved,

    Never have I loved so much.


    I have always loved you and I will forever hold our love in my heart my darling.

Sorry to hear that fella, my thoughts are with you and your daughter at this sad time. Be strong, time is a great healer, it might not seem like it at the moment but the darkness will get lighter and you will learn to live again
However if something serious happens to them I will eat my own cock.

Oh no.  :'(

I am so, so sorry to hear of your devastating loss.

May your cherished memories of your life together serve as some form of comfort in the years ahead.

In the meantime, I offer my sincere condolences to you, your family and all who knew and loved your beloved wife. May she rest in peace.

All of the memories, your daughter and yourself, will always be there. Never forget her and she always lives.  She knew that you could be gone in a heartbeat. So enjoying every moment and living in the now is very important for both of you. She was loved by her friends and family, may she please rest in peace.

Very sorry to read this.  It sounds like she knew she was loved, and that you know she loved you, so try to take solace in that.
