    Quoting LeafLeap:
    I am sorry for my failing...forgive me, forgive me, forgive me.
I am so sorry to hear you lost the love of your life! I know that feeling, I lived through it. After the tears came the shock and living life just going through the motions.

Time heals, but how long it will take depends on you. We never forget those we lose, they will always be in our hearts and minds.

Leaf I can share with you something that helped me after losing my parents.

I was telling my aunt that I should have done more by them. She stopped me and said ----- Everyone knows you did the BEST YOU COULD at the time. It helped a lot.

You did not fail. You did the best you could at the time. That is all any of us can do.
Please take comfort in that.

Go immediately to hospital emergency. They can help you.

I'm so sorry for your loss.....My suggestion to you is to fully feel the feelings......that's the only way to process them.....It will hurt like crazy, but resisting the feelings will only prolong your suffering.......Feel the feelings....you are going to be OK...........

So sorry Leaf for your loss. Find solace in music or find a book that can help with your healing. A pet is great for helping to heal your sorrow.

I know I am being harsh.. but perspective is sometime necessary to overcome grief.. If I say to you.. I don't feel sorry for you but that I am jealous.... would you understand?
You were given a gift that was taken away. But the gift was never lost .. It just ended.
You are at a loss because you no longer have the gift. You don't feel sorry for anything but yourself.. Your loss, your future, your happiness. What it could have done for you to continue to have it. Some day you will realize it's not what you have that makes you a lucky man.. It will always and inevitabily come down to what you had that made you a lucky man.
Anyway..I'm thinking of you, I with you, and support you

I suggest you think about and take care of others... You are NOT alone ..who are trying to take care of you..What are you doing for your daughter? That is the first step.

thats so very very sad, a huge loss to bear and there is no easy way. I would suggest you try to talk to someone as sometimes sharing your burden can give you a small amount of comfort. I went through that loss a few times and I can still cry when I remember my loved one. Also, pets can sense if you are troubled so your little kitten will know. It gets easier but you dont forget. I wish you healing in your grief.
