i joined this site today, and posted teh story of my wife in teh singles section, i did that because it seemed to be the most active forum section, but anyways i got a PM a bit later and the guy said that singles is probably not a good place because a lot of the members can be bitter and might "troll" my thread and my wife was and is the joy of my life, and she taught me to love everyone no matter what.

but today is her 2 year anniversary, and im crying all day and i dont think i could bear to see someone insult her memory so i am trying to link that thread here hoping yall would sympathasize. we only spent 8 years togetehr from age 16 to 24, but there is not a doubt in my mind that she is my soul mate, and i just want to pass teh message of love that i got from her

and that is that when you know ur spouse is ur soul mate, ur love is stronger than the bounds of life and death. im only in my late 20s now but i dont ever want to remarry or date. yeah, my wife passed away, legaly im a widower, but that doesnt mean she isnt still my wife and in my life. i fall more in love with her in each passing day, and i know that we will live life in eternity together.

i dont have enough posts or something so i cant link the thread so if u dont mind i will copy and paste it.

thanks

I read your post in singles and replied to it there, but I will post here as well. I was really moved to hear about your wife, and the love you have for her.

I too do not intend to remarry now that my former husband is dead (he died in April after a very, very long battle against alcoholism). Some people are only intended to marry once in their lives, imo.

God be with you.

Dear ForeverYours84,
I read your entire post, which was a truly loving post of a woman that you loved and still love immensely. Thank you for sharing this with us. I know your hurt and pain is very real. You are very young and by the grace of God, you will heal from the pain you are going through. I can say this because I know it to be true. May the peace which passes all understanding keep your heart and mind through Christ Jesus.

Christian Widow

God bless you foreveryours84! Your story was very sad and touching. It reminded me a lot of mine. This year was the 24th anniversary of the death of my first husband. I still ove and grieve for him, but I can now honestly say that I am starting to move on.

My husband was killed in a car accident when he was 27. I was 22. He had just been diagnosed with cancer and went through surgery a month before the accident. He was still too weak to drive, but he had no time off of work, so they sent him to school out of town. I was with him to at least drive him back and forth. One Friday morning I woke up late to find him already up and dressed. I had a rough night with the baby, and he allowed me to sleep in. He took his own self to school that day. At lunch time when he got home he was acting a little strange. Insisting that we call our parents and not wanting me out of his sight. On the drive back to school he started telling me that he had to go away and that he had to leave NOW. He went on to tell me that he loved me and our baby daughter more then anything in this world and that no matter how far away I thought he was he'd always be near me in my heart. I turned my head away from traffic to tell him to stop talking that way, but instead I touched his face and told him that I loved him. "I love you Danny. I love you so very much". Those were my last words. When I turned my head back to the traffic (it was only turned for a second or two) a car had run the median and hit us head on. I watched as the love of my life took his last breath and died in front of me.

I'll never forget that day. Nor will I ever forget him. But life does go on. Through the pain and the tears it goes on. And even though he is gone, his memory and the love I have for him will always live in my heart.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I think the main reason this section is so quiet is that we just can't bare to re-open the wounds to all this pain. It hurts too bad.

Dear ForeverYours84,

I love this story about your dear wife and soulmate. I feel the same way about my beloved husband who died 6 weeks ago. He was so filled with love and kindness for everyone that I know my life has changed for the better just by knowing him. I'm trying to look on the bright side which is that I was so fortunate to have been married to that great man for ten years. What a blessing, but my heart sure aches to know that he is gone from the earth. I keep holding onto the Bible verse from Hebrews Chapter 12: 1 that says: "... seeing that we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us... run with patience the race that is set before us.

I like that because, my adorable Glenn was an athlete and he used to cheer me on whenever he would finish his exercises or run before I would-- then keep telling me.. "come on, you can do it"... So, I feel like he is doing that now. Whenever I start feeling down, I can hear his voice cheering me on, and reminding me that I'm almost finished. I'm nowhere near as young as you are (in my fifties), but I still feel the same way as you do, that he was my soulmate and that doesn't end at death. I hope you're well and that you are able to have a blessed holiday this year and I'll pray for that for you.

Kathleen
