Jim, I lost my wife Shirley Faye to cancer about three weeks ago. We were married 46 years. It’s very hard for me, so I know what you are going through. I’ve been watching the cancer progress for three years, so I had a lot of time to get ready, but I wasn’t ready. I took her to the ER to have fluid drained. She was looking forward to trying chemo the following week, but she had a heart attack in the hospital at 3 AM. God was merciful to us both, as she was too far gone for chemo. She was saved 50 years ago, but told me she wasn’t ready to die, as she had more souls to save. Freerepublic has been a blessing to Shirley and me. God bless you and your family. Sheila and Shirley are with Jesus in Paradise now. Somehow we will go on, as have wives and husbands for thousands of years before us. But I know you are missing your Sheila very much right now.
So very sorry for your loss. Forty-six years is an accomplishment, evidence of your commitment to each other and to the Lord.
May you be comforted by the Holy Spirit during this difficult time.
