Life really SUCKS sometime! Today I buried my wife, my best friend, my lover, my equal, my wife.
Its been a long ten year battle. One that I / we thought she would win. Not to be. There's a saying out there that cancer can not cripple love, shatter hope, corrode faith, eat away peace, destroy confidence, kill friendship, shut out memories, silence courage, reduce life, quench the spirit or lessen the power of resurrection. I know one other thing cancer can not do; and thats take away your dignity. My wife went out on her terms, at home surrounded by family and friends and fighting till the very end. Standing by my wife all these years I know thats important. No matter what your fighting, keep ahold of as many of those things mentioned above and dont let go of hope.
She was a strong women. She had to be, being married to me, fighting cancer and losing our daughter almost four years ago. I will miss her deeply. After 27 years together it will hurt along time. I have another hole in my heart. My girls are gone from me but they are together once again. They are whole and at peace. They are one again.
I wont make this a long post, Im too tired. I just wanted you to meet two of the most beautiful souls that I have ever known. My wife and daughter. Sheri and Alyssa
I think its going to be a long cold winter...

I am so sorry Jesse. I don't know what to say, I've haven't been married that long but I couldn't imagine going through that. I'll keep you in my prayers, if there's ANYTHING you EVER need please don't hesitate to ask.

My prayers are with you. Sorry for your loss, but remember the good times with her, and with those memories she will never die.Revel in her life, not in her passing.

Sorry to hear of your loss, as others have said, keep your chin up although it may not be easy, I'm sure it's what they would have wanted. My thoughts are with you.

Im really sorry to hear that man.
I lost an uncle to cancer and a very close friend a few years back to a tree cutting accident.
I have never felt that kind of pain before and can honestly not comprehend (sp?) what it would be like if I was in your shoes.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you man
I am sorry to hear about your daughter also
Try and keep your head up
