Ho letto solo adesso e non avrei mai voluto farlo per non apprendere una così terribile notizia.
Che dirti cara Adriana, capisco benissimo come puoi sentirti, ci sono passato anch'io, fatti forza e vivi ogni momento, i ricordi più belli passati con tuo marito.

Oh, man, I just saw this. Loss of a spouse is hard to overcome. My wife was killed in a car wreck 9 years ago. Even though we had a terrible marriage it still took a long time to get over her. My thoughts be with you, my Lady.

Damn, that's rough, Ricebug. I didn't know that either. Glad you were able to come to grips with it. I don't know if I'd be strong enough..my wife is my best friend, we do everything together and enjoy each other's company immensely. We've been sweethearts since we were 15 years old. It's been almost 30 years we've known each other. I think my only consolence would be TTLG. I don't have a whole lot of family for support, we're a pretty small group compared to most I think.

My condolences to you and your family in this time of loss :(
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

I guess you're right.
I met both sides, Ricebugs and yours ......
and with Avallon's poem in my head, I'll put this also up for you Adriana:
I'ts my new husband's favourite:
It's from W.H. Auden and is called Funeral Blues:
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
silence the pianos and with muffled drum
bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
scribbling on the sky the message He is Dead,
put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
my working week and my Sunday rest,
my noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now; put out every one;
pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
for nothing now can come to any good.
It was written in April 1936 and it was very beautiful recited in the movie: Four weddings and a funeral.
Sending you 000 + XXX Adriana.

Condolences on your loss. Cancer/dementia took my mom almost 2 years ago, I can empathize. Your love is in a better place now, take comfort in knowing he no longer has pain, and is free and is happy in a higher plane of existence and with people he knows/loves.
