Hope you enjoy those video clips, Mary.

The findings relating to the Shroud of Turin by the Polish, female, particle physicist, Isabel Piczec - also shown at the link, below, are truly wonderful. The top and bottom of the cloth must have been stretched taut, and Jesus' body must have hovered in mid-air. No gravity! The flesh on his back and legs should have been compressed due to his weight and gravity, but it is not - not in the slightest.

Precious, only God can comfort you and bring you through this devastating time of grief and loss. He provides closure. Praying that He sends His children and His angels to minister to you and provide for you abundantly and comfort you. It's difficult, and seems nearly impossible right now, but TRUST Him, dear heart. Praying that His grace enables you to and that He strengthens and sustains you and makes a way in what seems to be no way, as only He can. (((hug)))

Brinny, Paul and all;

What makes it so hard is I never got to say goodbye.
I didn't know that when the EMS took him from the house the night he got sick that it would be the last I would ever see him.
I just didn't see it coming. He was always so strong.

I know Dave wouldn't want me to be always crying and grieving like this.
He looked after me, and I miss that. Now there's no one left who cares for me.

Thank God I told him I loved him.
He was the kind of man who finds it impossible to say 'I love you'.
The closest he ever got was once when I told him I loved him and he said nothing so I said, 'don't you love me?' He said, 'well that goes without saying'.
I'm so glad I told him many times I loved him.

Thank you for your continuing prayers.

Brinny, Paul and all;

No wonder it's difficult to find closure, having been kept out of the loop like that. But that's great that you feel better that, at least, you often told him how much you loved him. That must help you feel a bit better. Try to meditate on the cliche, nevertheless very true, that everything happens for the best. God's Providence is never derailed. And.. it's better to have loved and lost.... OK. That's Polonius' contribution for the day.

"The closest he ever got was once when I told him I loved him and he said nothing so I said, 'don't you love me?' He said, 'well that goes without saying.'"

That's what I used to tell my wife, Mary. In fact, I would have found it offensive if she didn't really know it, at least in her heart. But apparently it's not the same!

I'd feel a fool saying it, though. A bit like Mom and apple-pie to the power of n! Or, 'Dog bites man!'

No, Paul. It's not the same. ('that goes without saying').
I don't know why it is so hard for some men to say 'I love you.'
Your loved ones need to hear 'I love you'.
If you still have your wife with you, TELL her.
Tell all your loved ones 'I love you'- before it's too late.

Mary

Thank you all and God bless you.

My grief is overpowering. How do I gain closure?

First, always remember that time heals all wounds, no matter how deep they are. So don't do anything rash, in the spur of a moment of despair. Us human beings are terrible at putting traumatic events into a proper and realistic perspective. As with any storm- eventually, the sun will come out again!

Remember that you are far stronger than you think you are- there are countless examples of people who have faced incredibly traumatic events and found the strength to rise to the challenge and navigate through them. Don't ever stop trusting in God; He will never allow you to endure something you can't handle.

Eat regularly and maintain a good routine of exercise, sleep, and personal hygiene (like, silly as it may sound- remember to brush your teeth!).

Go to Church if you aren't already doing so- and get involved in every Bible study and church event that you can.
