So sorry to hear of your loss. You have my deepest sympathies.

I am very sorry for your loss.

[mjclark32]

Very sorry to hear. My condolences

[Bruin Watch]

Very disheartening news. My thoughts are with you. Sounds like you were a standup husband throughout. Best wishes with your health too.

Greg I read this about an hour ago and didn’t know what to say, so I said nothing. I couldn’t stop thinking about you so I’ve come back to post here - what I’m trying to say is a lot of people on here won’t know what to say so won’t say anything, but they, like me, will be thinking about you.

I’m very sorry for your loss. For what’s its worth she is at peace now and you shouldn’t be blaming yourself, she wouldn’t want that.

My brother tried to talk to me the night he committed suicide but I was studying for college final exams and asked if it could wait and he said yes. An hour later he was dead.

I blamed myself for 6 months but realized finally I had talked him out of it once before and whatever he was dealing with would have probably caught up to him one day in the future when I had graduated and was gone. I eventually was able to let the blame go and move forward. Talking to family, friends and professionals about my experience helped me process it and let it go.

Seek out the right listeners, share your thoughts and feelings, and process the day’s events until you come to recognize it wasn’t your fault, which seems clear to me as an outsider.

Your pain and grief that you are experiencing is just a testament to your love for her and the loss you are feeling. All perfectly normal. Hang in there and God bless you.

Thanks for sharing this story. Having lost friends to suicide and drug abuse, it's hard not to ponder the "What ifs" and "should haves"

especially as men, we like to be problem solvers. But there's no solution for death and mortality

And Greg, sorry to hear about your wife. Don't be alone with your cats -- talk to people, both online and in real life. There are medical professionals who are trained to help people work through grief, it's worth making an appointment, even if just outpatient psychiatry at your local hospital

So very sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers for you and your family.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences!

I am wiping tears from my eyes while reading this. So sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. I couldn't even begin to imagine the sadness you have been going through this past week. To echo what others have said and speaking from experience, do not think about what ifs or what else you could have done -- it only hinders. Even though it may be difficult, really try to get outside, exercise and don't be alone. Spend time with friends or even speak with a professional, it helps.

Again, my deepest condolences to you.

[denmanproject]

So sorry for your loss Greg, as a newly married man I could not imagine what you must be going through

[Kneecough]

My condolences Greg. Stay strong through this hard time.

[BNA/LION]

Sorry to read this. Try to be kind to yourself. Be Well.

[schoolboy]

My condolences.

May she rest in peace.

[incontrol]

Greg, my wife and I have been best friends for more than 40 years. I do not know what to say as I know this would be so devastating to me. My thoughts and prayers go out to you that your years together will always bring you peace and joy.

Words seems so futile at a time like this. Sorry for your loss.

[Castlesinthesky]

My sincere condolences to you.

[function12]

Greg, thank you for sharing your story. We all take everyday things for granted. We are all to self consumed. Thank you for caring about us and trying to tell us to slow down. We are all here for such a very short period on time and we seem to waste it on thing that don't even matter to us.
Thank you for helping me get my five minute back!!
I hope you find peace. I pray that God helps you find your peace and he helps heal your broken heart.

[Hot Carl]

Welled up reading your post. Rest in peace Mrs Greg.

[5Zigen]

My sincere condolences, may she rest in peace.

[Floorguy]

My deepest condolences....

Thoughts and prayers for you. Please take care of yourself, your life matters!
