Frank, I do not know what to say.

The greatest fear I have is the loss of my spouse.

I can only say that I am sorry and that I will pray for you.

To: Harmless Teddy Bear

Sorry I took so long to thank you for your kind post and prayer.

We were in love since September, 1973 when it was love at first sight for me (and Joy said a few seconds later when I smile at her it was for her, too). I prayed silently then that if God would grant me her as my wife I would owe him many years of good deeds to repay him and still fall short. He loaned Joy to me for a long time but I selfishly wanted it to never end.

Problem all must have with grief is all I want that would make me happy is to have her on earth with me again but that is precisely what I cannot have now.

I’m trying to set up some kind of group to go to but one has a 3-4 week waiting list.

I thankful for FRiends like you.
