Leo,

I wish I knew what to say to console you, but there never seems to be enough or even the right things to say. Take comfort in the company of family and friends... they can help guide you through this just by being a shoulder for you to lean on. Try to take some solice, if you can, in the fact that she could have suffered intensely for a very long time with that dread disease. Her load was lightened in a short period... yours will with time.

Thoughts and prayers are with you,

That's terrible

If you need a vacation to Florida to get away from it all you can stay at my place. I'm serious....

Leo I can't imagine what you're feeling with such a loss. I've thought of how I'd react myself in similar circumstances since witnessing tragedy 1st hand. I'd like to have this played at my day of rememberance. Hopefully it'll help with what you're feeling. Listen closely to the words and the message they convey:

All I can say is sorry for your loss. If you are a religeous person, mabey you will find some comfort in your faith.

Good luck to you.

hey i am very sorry to hear this...my mother has m.s. but a mild case of it...she can still walk and talk and things but she can't move around quickly that's for sure...she has trouble walking some days...like they are tingling or numb...she can barely drive...she's on lots of medication all the time...how bad did your wife have it? my mom was diagnosed with it about 6 years ago...

 

[leo wagstaff]

she was diagnosed a week ago. thank all of you! I want to wake up! all of the support helps. this is the most hardest thing I have to endeavor!

My deepest sympathy and sorrows. All will get better with time to heal. She's in a much better place where pain has no meaning.

If you haven't yet, download that song I posted and give it a listen. It really speaks to you when someone's in a situation like yours.

Leo, I met you on grassy hill of the parking area in BG and we talked for awhile about your car. You seem like a strong person, and I'm sure that you will be able to recover from this great loss. Just take it one day at a time, and put one foot in front of the other. That is all that you can do. I encourage you to get some counseling, because it is a great relief to talk with someone who can help you through all that you are feeling right now. Take advantage of your benefits at work; that is what they are there for.

Please email me anytime for anything. This board is full of great members who helped me through my divorce, so we should return the favor whenever we can.
