Question Posted Friday February 5 2010, 10:13 pm

Not a question - a thank you. Your piece about giving as a response it beautiful. Score one for the good guys. i'm wavering - and know that I must go on. Have two largely grown up kids but lost my wife of 25 years in a tragedy. It is hard, half of me is missing, she is not going - she exists but not here.

Your treatment of this was meaningful. I'll leave it at that. God bless you.

Thank you for letting me know that this helped you.

I was married for 10 years and it ended tragically. The worst for me was the fact that I couldn't talk with her... ever again.

I am almost three years past that sudden loss, and I have one more thing to tell you about all of this:

It really does get better. I didn't know anyone who had been through anything like this and so when people told me that this would get easier with time I dismissed them as well meaning, but horribly misinformed.

As someone who lost their spouse in one day, suddenly and without any warning at all... never to have closure of any kind... I can tell you that even my situation got better with a bit of time and pouring myself into the idea that that the world was bigger than myself and my problems.

I started finding ways to help other people and found that my time spent in service to others was even more helpful to my wellbeing than it was to those I was helping.

Living through this has made me a better person.

Hang in there,

Also "R"
