go to the place that she liked the best on the property and put a bench there. Go sit and talk with her when you need to. You will feel better who actualy knows, maybe she will be listening.

I do this, it helps when times get tough.

I will agree with Dane, that sounds like an idea that she would like very much, you can share your feelings with her and only her.
If you were closer, I would love to help you build this special spot for both of you

Jeff,

So sorry to hear about your loss. Our prayers are with you and your wife.

After reading your post this morning, I took off early from work and brought home roses for my wife, kids, mom, & sister.

God Bless.

Dane,

That's a GREAT idea! I've got just the place too. There were two favorite spots on the farm she liked to hang out. Maybe I will do both. Images are attached of each.

Thanks again guys, your words have been a great comfort to me these past few days. At times, I didn't think I would make it but reading these messages gave me the strength to go on.

Now I'm off to her Celebration of Life party - she didn't like funerals much. So its Buffalo Wings and Beer. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Jeff

So sorry for the loss of your beloved wife, friend, helper and I'm sure the list could go on and on.

The loss of a loved one is about the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with in my life. The grief is terrible. Grief is a tough, difficult emotion to deal with. I figured out that the amount of grief is equal to the love.

Grasp on to your religion. Keep yourself involved with friends and loved ones. It is tough for friends who commonly are at a loss for words. Join an organization that involves people who share your interests. Stay busy, she would have wanted you to be happy. Cherish her love and zest for life. Think and remember of her those good times you had together.

It is a good thing that you are open enough about your loss to share it with us. Although we are mostly strangers, we do have many common interests and themes.

Again, So sorry for your loss,
Kyle

Jeff,

I think that either or both of those loactions would be great. I hope it helps you.

I wish you the best.

I like the celibration of life idea, my familey has the same thoughts as you on this.

Enjoy the Celebration.

I haven't got a wife yet. Heck, I can't even find anyone to date. I'm 22, still single and am SO tired of it. The older I get, the harder it is getting for me to find a companion.

You and your wife will be in my prayers. ALWAYS remember the good times and never let em' go.

Hang in there Travis,

I wasn't searching for anyone when I found "Her". She came into my life when I was divorced and angry at women in general. Her compassion turned me around and saved me from a life of solitaire and TV dinners.

It seems that the harder you look for something the harder it is to find. Try different circles of people, a new venue. Be sincere and most importantly, be yourself. There is somebody for everybody and we don't always know when we'll meet. I was married for twenty years the first time but didn't find my true "mate' until after I was forty. Give it some more time and you will find the right one. You'll know when she comes around. When you think her life is worth more that yours is a pretty good indicator. Be brave. If you find someone you are interested in, walk right up and introduce yourself.

You publicly demonstrated your compassion and empathy. I think you’re a super guy and some day soon a very nice gal will think the same.

Jeff, I'm very impressed by your approach to life, your attitude, and the stregnth you're showing through an incredably tough time. It's terrible what your wife had to endure. She was lucky to have someone like you standing along side of her in those times. You have a far better understanding of life and all that goes along with it than most folks.
