I am sad to report that FV lost her fight against that damn covid crap this morning at 8:26. I would like to thank all who prayed for her recovery. I am sure she appreciated all of your prayers. I guess I am now going to find out what I am going to do without her. She is in a better place I guess with no pain. I will try to pop in a couple of times a week. God bless!
In case you all don't see this until 12/24, FV passed away at 8:26 am Friday 12/23. RIP FV 3/14/61 to 12/23/22
I'm so sorry. I know loss can be difficult, so I’ll be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers
Good morning everyone! 
12 years ago tomorrow I first met FlyingV on ECF. Time sure goes by fast...

Mr. V. the healing process takes time don't rush it. I know you don't believe me. But it does get better I promises. The good memories will always be there. Just this morning while filling the Turkey I thought of my Mon and Grans. After 20 + years Memories of good times in the Kitchen with them.
Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas and happy new year.Mr. V, I'm very sorry for your loss.

I sincerely hope my sharing is welcome...
I lost my wife in 2018. My life was completely turned upside down for quite some time. For me, after nearly 40 years of marriage, it took a good couple years to see some light. There are still times I get all teary eyed, and whatnot, but I do believe, and know in my heart, that's to be expected. We never truly get over our losses. For me, time and distance brought a much wider perspective, one I am very thankful for.
This from the book "It's Ok That You're Not Ok" a book about grief by Megan Devine...
"No matter what anyone says, this sucks. What has happened cannot be made right. What is lost cannot be restored. There is no beauty here, inside this central fact."
"Grief is part of love. What you are living, painful as it is, is love. And love is really hard. Excruciating at times."
It's taken me time... but I've come to see the loss of my wife as another side of the very same Love we had, and in my belief, still do have. I don't think Love is ever lost. How can it be?
