Prayers up for you.
There HAS to be a reason why she was allowed to go Home before you could be there.
And while you are in the mind-twisting/heart breaking agony of guilt, beating yourself up, condemnation of yourself, and abject grief....you WILL hear that Still, Small Voice, whispering to your heart/soul to calm what's raging and storming inside of you.

I am so sorry for your loss and can understand the depression you must feel. There is little you can do other than honor your wife's life by continuing to be a righteous man. May Yahweh's many blessings be upon you and your family at this time and throughout the future.

I am so sorry for your loss. My brother sat by my mom for days and nights and still was not there when she passed. But that is all it is, just like crossing the street, only it's got to be crossed when that particular light is green.
You will see your wife in the great beyond. It is all God's will.
You and your family will be in my prayers.

Thank you all for your prayers, your kind words, and your good wishes !!!

First, let me say that I'm sorry for your loss. An "early" death stings; even when we know that our loved one is with the Lord. (We become convinced that the world should obey our timetables and too easily forget that the world is on God's timetable.)
It may simply be that you weren't meant to be there. My dad passed away in January. My mom, my sisters, and I spent that last week tag-teaming in his hospital room. The Lord didn't take him home until after my mom had decided to go home for a few hours. We figure that He didn't want us to be there for the end. The same may be true for you. The Lord may not have wanted you to go through that last moment; especially when she was already in His care.
In short, don't beat yourself up. If the Lord wanted you there, you'd have been there.

You had thirty years and that's what matters, even though you're focused on the last few hours. Sadly, your wife had to go on to a better place because that cancer was making her suffer. I doubt she would want you to suffer over it and I know there was already enough suffering to go around as you all dealt with that disease.

Your wife sounds like she was a very courageous and strong woman.
God is holding you tight in his arms right now.

As believers we can see that our wives are gifts on loan from God, and when he does take back that which is already his, we can be assured that theyre experiencing joy and happiness beyond our comprehension. I can understand your guilt, but itd just that youre guilt. Rest assured that youre wife isnt fretting over it in the least. Youll be there before she knows it, for a day is like a thousand years where she is.

I forgot to mention that my oldest sister didn't make it out in time; however, she had been in denial about dad's condition all throughout his decline. She simply wasn't ready for him to go. The rest of us are all convinced that God didn't want her to be there. It was easier on her to have it all over and done with by the time she got there.
Trust in his wisdom.

FR is a family which I have come to love and appreciate. More than text on a monitor, I have discovered many depths of humanity. The best of wishes to you and yours.
