As I don't always look to see what has been posted for some periods of time, I just read about this now. Now, at 70, I've experienced many good friends and family passing away. I think the loss of your wife is a much greater loss. When you've lived with and lover someone for so many years, shared all your hopes, joys and hard times with them, when you lose them, there is such a great void. I know your grief must be beyond any words I could say to you. I hope God gives you the strength to get through this loss. It is truly a blessing to have someone that you shared your life with. I can't remember if I ever met her on my 2 visits with the forum members in the UK. I'll keep the both of you in my prayers. Frankie
