Some may have noticed I have not been active on Blurt for awhile. Many were aware that my wife was not in good health. I know I probably have not been able to inform everyone I should about the passing of the love of my life on January 17, 2023, after a long illness. Deborah, in many ways, was the strongest person I have known. She dealt with so much pain, for many years. I am unsure if I could have handled it.
We had 36 years together and survived many trials and tribulations in our life together, yet our love held us together. Although my heart aches, I am happy she is free from the suffering she endured all these years. She is now as free as the butterflies and hummingbirds she loved so much.
I am eternally grateful for everything she gave me, including a wonderful family. I know we will be together in good time.
The above photo was taken maybe 6 years ago when we could go on a real vacation for the first time that we were together. This cruise to Mexico made her so happy. Even though she was dealing with pain at the time, she did not let it show. The next year her medical conditions began to have a heavier impact on her. We had hoped to go on another cruise, but there was no way she could physically handle it.
I decided to write this short publication not only to let others know what was going on with me but also to help in my healing. These years took their toll on me, and these past weeks have left me exhausted. I will leave you with some photographs of roses, which she loved so much. I took these from flowers we received at her passing. I did an excellent job on these photos, especially the first rose. But, it was a pure chance they came out such as they did.
I will be out of town to get some rest for the next few days. I am not taking my laptop, so when I return, I will upvote comments.
So sorry to hear that! 🙏❤️
May her soul rest in love! 🕯️🌈
Well said, bro. May her soul rest in love!
@R2cornell, thank you for being so good to her. 36 years is in some ways a long time, but in others, it was not long enough. Pain is a horrible thing to endure over the long term, and it begins to take on a life of its own. Nobody can fully understand what someone living with chronic pain goes through, but you likely have a very good idea, even though she was not the type to complain about it. I'm so glad she had you with her when things got rough. She surely appreciated your presence and your love. I'm very sorry you lost her, but glad to hear you are comforted knowing she's no longer feeling the agony that plagued her, and that you had a family together, and many joyous memories. I hope you get some relaxation on your time away, and that you ultimately feel nothing but peace. If there's any way she can still be there and watching over you - and I don't claim to know either way - then certainly she is.
Thank you. My time away was what I needed. As a care provider (still am), I needed the time to not have to think of others. I feel much better. The day before I came home my daughter and granddaughter met me and we had a few hours together. Now I am home and feeling better.
Well, that's good to hear. Take as much time as you need. I was a care provider myself, having been a nurse for 10 years, then caring for my dying grandmother for several years. It sounds to me like you did very well. I hope you'll be able to remember the favourite memories you made together, listen to the music you enjoyed together, and miss her in a fond way without too much sorrow. I doubt she would want you to be hurting, but even knowing that, it can be hard not to.
Thank you
So sad to hear and read such thing!
I'm so sorry to say that I got my life partner on 16th January 2023 and you lost yours after that day. Accept condolences from my side!
Thank you very much.

I'm very sorry for your great loss.
This is undoubtedly, one of the hardest experiences one can live. I did with my mom almost 24 years ago and I know perfectly what's that of dealing with your beloved ones pain.
Fortunately our minds can handle it if you don't focus on what you loose but on what you had during a long time. They don't die, they keep alive in our hearts and minds and most probably we will meet them forever.
Time helps to learn how to live with this, give you time...
Sending you my best big hugs, keep strong!
Thank you very much! I have been through this with my father, mother, grandmother and youngest sister. This is by far the most difficult. I have no regrets and would have walked this path with her again if necessary. She is pain free.
My condolences @r2cornell, I hope that God will give you strength to endure the pain of losing a loved one considering that you also saw them suffering for a long while. But at least your wife is free from suffering now which is the best consolation that we consider. Take care of yourself now and may God's grace be always given to you Sir.
Thank you very much! Yes, the knowledge she is pain free gives me a lot of happiness.
“May your happy memories give you peace and comfort during this challenging time.”
God be with you.
Thank you very much! You are correct the happy memories help a lot.
I am sorry to hear this news. Prayers of comfort sent to you. 🙏
Thank you very much!
Very sorry to hear this. It is making me cry.
I send you a huge hug from souls to accompany him in his sadness. In each word I can understand his sorrow and what must be happening today. His wife is resting on you, your family and God. She will always live in her hearts.
These are beautiful flowers, you can see that they were also cared for with a lot of love.
Thank you for your kind words.
My deepest condolences! Hope she'll be in a much better place! Hope she is happy there :)
I am so sorry for your loss ❤️❤️❤️

I am left with tears after reading it. This is what true love is, 36 long years and you were by her side all this time.
This is true love, you are thinking less about you and more about your love. You are happy that she is free from the pain she was suffering.
I got married last to last year with the love of my life. The thought of losing her fill my eyes with tears and heart with pain.
You are a strong man, please heal soon. Your wife would want to see you strong and happy.
Thank you for writing and sharing your situation with all of us. I hope you will heal yourself soon and just remember that the good memories of your wife will always stay with you in your heart.
Sabr.
Thank you. I remember at my brother's wedding I proposed a toast and found some words that I am not sure if I always remembered them in my own marriage: "May you always remember why you decided to start this journey with your partner".
Dear @r2cornell,
My deepest condolences and my thoughts are with you and your family. She looks very happy in that picture when she was with you. May she attain the supreme bliss of Nibbana !
Thank you. I appreciate it.
This is a touching and personal story. The photos of roses serve as a reminder of your love and the memories you made together. All but memories life waits for no one, we just have to make the best of it.
Thank you very much.
So sorry for your loss, … my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. May God be with you. We will all be reunited with our Loved ones one day. ♥️
Thank you. Yes, her and I will be together again.
I pray for your good health and living together as you can. Life is full of hardships and pain as well. You both face a lot of pain in your lives, I think!
May you live long!
Thank you very much.
First time I am feeling pain in your words my dear Grandpa. This is an irreplaceable loss. My grandmother is always with you with beautiful memories that you spent with her. There is some good memories that will help you to recover from the depth of sorrow. This is the circle of time and no one can escape from it. May God give you power to bear this misery. May your happy memories give you peace.
Please accept my sincere condolences..Rip😭
Thank you. I went away for a few days to have time to grieve, think things through, and remember some of our better times. On day 4 I felt I was ready to come home.
Hope soon you will able to restore courage to face the reality my dear Grandpa.
Sweet memories of My grandmother will always remain with you. PEACE..
Thank you for kind response dear Grandpa..
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. Long chronic illnesses are hard to deal with for all parties. You must focus on yourself now and give yourself the space to heal.
Thank you. I appreciate it

I loved our conversations and how you work and fight to have a better retirement.
She will send you that love for you to keep strong even though that pain is so deep.

I am deeply sorry to hear of the passing of your wife, Deborah. She sounds like she was a truly amazing person, who faced her struggles with strength and grace. She is now free from the pain she endured and she will be deeply missed and always remembered. Take care of yourself and know that my thoughts and condolences are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Thank you very much.
I am very sorry for what happened to you, losing a loved one is a very painful thing and only time gives you the strength to assume it, your wife takes care of your family and you wherever she is. She is no longer suffering and is resting in peace in a better place. Much strength and peace.
Thank you very much. I believe she is watching over the family. I feel her presence from time to time. It helps to get through the process.
Very very sad to hear this news.
To get good life partner is a huge favor.
Thank you very much!
Your wife looks very happy in the photo, thank God they were able to make that trip that she was able to enjoy, and although it is difficult to lose a loved one, she is now at peace.
I have prayed all these days for God to give peace and tranquility to you and your family (your daughter and your granddaughter).
Thank you very much! We are holding up well. Yes, she so enjoyed the cruise and the time spent in Mexico, as I did being there with her.
Sorry for the sad news and we offer you our condolences. May you find console in close friends, relatives, and loved ones in this time of grief.
Thank you

From Randula.
Thank you. Yes, we had some good times in the 36 years. Even with most of those years she was dealing with her health conditions and chronic pain there are wonderful memories.
My condolences! Even if I "only" know about Blurt the connections is the testimony of you about them just wonderful. I believe in God and think that she will find her peace and is waiting for you.
Greetings Michael
"I took these from flowers we received at her passing. I did an excellent job on these photos, especially the first rose. But, it was a pure chance they came out such as they did."

سچ بات یہ ہے کہ اس دن میرے پاس وقت نہیں تھا, اس لئے میں نے پورا پوسٹ نہیں پڑھا
صرف مضمون کا نام پڑھا اور پورے پوسٹ پر صرف سرسری نظر سے دوڑائ, مجھے لگا کہ وہ بیمار ہے

It might be a good idea to read this most more carefully, because this post discussed my love for my wife and the fact that she died.
