RIP Rainy Rita (Mrs. LC)

They're just a 15-minute drive up the road... we hung out with them every weekend. I likely will continue to do so, at least until that time (which is quite unimaginable right now) when I'm spending my time with another woman.

They're taking it pretty hard. Her mom was telling me yesterday it still feels like a dream to her, like she's going to wake up at some point. Her dad's a pretty tough guy normally, but he's getting choked up an awful lot... I've never in my life seen him this vulnerable. I swear, my worst memory of this whole thing isn't my memory of finding Sarah on our bedroom floor... it's my memory of telling them what happened. Their reactions are burnt into my brain.

BTW, thanks for keeping this thread going. I feel like talking about it is the best thing for me right now. It's helping me release my feelings a little bit, which I'm otherwise having trouble doing.
 
Sorry for the late response, but I'm so sorry for your loss. Feels like that all of us on here has lost a family member on this site. My condolences to you and your in-laws LC. Damn!!!

Two songs I like to post up that will help let all the tears out and cherish what he have. T_T



RIP Rainy Rita. May she be at everlasting peace in the afterlife!!

-gives LC a sorrowful look before tears come out of my eyes-

We're here for ya, buddy. ;)
 
Wow, that was..
LC man I'm sorry. I can't even fathom what your going through.

I just hope you're strong enough to keep going
 
Great poem.

Really puts it in perspective that, "Hey even though you you are gone, give me some time and I will be right there with you."

Mortality is real, folks! Sometimes it is hard to wrap your head around that.

I dunno dude... I think I've been so strong up to this point because I kind of needed a little break from her craziness... but now the break's been long enough and I desperately want to be with her and I can't. I think I'm kind of losing it over here. I want to be with my Sarah... :cry:
 
I know you do LC. I know it hurts man but you gotta keep moving. You gotta keep moving knowing that know matter what she's always with you.
 
This sucks. I keep feeling really strange physically, but the doctors keep telling me there's nothing wrong with me and it's just anxiety. I guess it makes sense given losing my wife, but the weird thing is I'm not even conscious of being that anxious... it's just my body. *sigh* I hope this doesn't last too long.

I know that feeling too. But that sucks to lose the love of your life so suddenly, it leaves stains in your soul that you can't rub out. It's there even if you choose to ignore it, that stain is still there.

Just be preserver in these tough times ahead. Just stay strong and honor her memory, it's all I can ask.

Well the anxiety's getting a little better I think... but I still have some moments. Sometimes I still have trouble believing all of this is real.
 
Hey guys, this thread kinda died so I thought maybe I'd pop in and let you guys know how I'm doing.

I kind of went on a crazy streak there for a bit where I was kind of chasing my next woman... which of course wasn't good because I'm not even close to ready for that yet. I feel somewhat fortunate that I didn't really have any success because that just would have made things more complicated. I'm hoping that's not an omen of what's to come when I am ready though... but whatever. I need this time to just chill out and rediscover who my self is... my life has been tied to Sarah's so long I think I lost sight of it. So that's what I'm working on now. I think I'm doing a lot better. Thanks to all of you for your support :)

I still miss her... :(
 
All,

My wife of nearly ten years, Sarah Jones, known to all of you as Rainy Rita, passed away today. For nearly half of my life she was the best part of my life. I may not be around for the next few days, but after that I may need you guys more than ever. Please keep us both in your thoughts (and prayers if you pray). Thanks guys.


i dont know you but i am sorry for your loss
 
So, Friday would have been our tenth anniversary. It just so happens that day there was another young lady in her family getting married. So I drove out to Louisiana for the wedding. I honestly can't think of a better way to have spent the day than celebrating the beginning of another journey. There were some points at which I teared up... reminded of our own wedding... but mostly it was a happy time this weekend.
 
Getting better... just figuring out life by myself. It took me a while, but I figured out I really need to do that first before making any attempts at finding another woman. I don't think I put enough effort into finding myself before Sarah and I got married... so now it's time.
