    She was only 45, we were partners in everything, we owned a business together and spent every minute with each other.  She was diagnosed on Feb 1st and died in May.  

    I was holding her hand when she passed.  Watching her go through cancer hell and watching her die has changed me forever, I will never be the same.  

    I'm telling you this because you need to spend every moment you can with your loved ones because they could be gone tomorrow.  Live every day like it is your last because it might be.

    Shark, I am sorry.

    Thank you for telling us this. I’m serious. Cancer hurts all of us, and our loved ones.  I know you’ve changed. You’ve lost ½ of your life. But you’ve let us know, and I believe this is a positive step for you. I’m a glass half full kind of guy. Together, with your wife, you had a full glass. I envy you. Now, your glass is only half full. I, too, have lost a wife.

    But, however small, you have taken a step. By telling us this, you may have helped others. Anyone that reads this will ask their wife/girlfriend/Mom (for the younger) “How are you doing?” “When’s the last time you saw a doctor?”

    You have to keep taking steps. These steps are not walking away from your wife, but toward making sure you are walking to your Life.  I know you are still hurting. Don’t try and keep this to yourself, that you can handle anything, blahblahblah. Seek out friends, family, degenerates. Too familiar? Try a grieving group/meeting. A counselor or therapist could help. Just don’t sit there and stare. Especially in a bar. Trust me, I’ve tried……………

    I’ve written enough.  If you’d like to talk, take the steps to make it happen.

    Please do,

    -Hawk-

    February diagnosis and a May passing. That is a very aggressive form of cancer. Likely, I'm pretty certain given some of my family members, you just missed it because you got caught up in life and all it's responsibilites, and before you know it, the cancer is in its late stages and has spread.

    45...that's young and extremely hard to take. You should have had many, many more years with your wife.

    I'm so sorry...

    February diagnosis and a May passing. That is a very aggressive form of cancer. Likely, I'm pretty certain given some of my family members, you just missed it because you got caught up in life and all it's responsibilites, and before you know it, the cancer is in its late stages and has spread.

    45...that's young and extremely hard to take. You should have had many, many more years with your wife.

    I'm so sorry...

    45 is so young, cant imagine what you went through and are going through.

    We'll never understand just how precious life is until tragedy of this magnitude happens to us.

    Sincerely sorry for your loss.  

    Know that being strong and living your life means you're doing it for both you and her soul now.
