It will be over 25 years you have been gone. My wife, my eternal love ... my savior. I have played that day over and over in my head and no matter how hard I wish ... we cannot exchange places. I would gladly give my life tomorrow if I could hold you again today. There are days when the grief is so strong that...

Thank you ...there were some very dark years but one day at a time. Some days are better than others
jon_baldinboots:
Grief is so very real and powerful, yet so very often misunderstood by those who have yet to experience the death of a loved one.  From my point of view, there never has been nor will there ever be an acceptable situation for a person to suggest to another, that the grieved should “get over it”; etc.!

I learned a few words in German from my father since he spent time there as an American soldier. I studied Spanish in school but I never felt as if I could hold my own in a conversation. As a Paramedic,...

I do not have any feelings about it at all. When I was younger and healthier, my birthday was a week long celebration filled with friends, family and whoever was around at the time. Honestly I never thought I would live this long ... Oh well another thing that I had proved most people wrong. This year it will be my Dad and I ......

Married at 18 and widowed at 19. I need to fly to California soon to visit her final resting place, the accident site and her mother. I would gladly die...
