WG_Dawg - The thought is appreciated but you can still pick on us. Who knows? Might help me take my mind off it all even if it's just for a short while.

Yeah SO just lost father to cancer about 2 years ago and now this (she was fine yesterday which is so confusing) but damn it makes it hard to comfort anyone. To make matters worse, I'm grieving myself. I loved her to pieces and she loved me too. I'm just trying to stay strong and not break down in front of the SO.
I would give almost anything to be able to provide ANY comfort and sadly I know I can't. I can only be there and take care of some of the organizing stuff.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hey Prof, over the last few years my wife lost both her father and then her mother to cancer. To complicate matters, her family lives in Brazil and she was unable to be there through most of their suffering.
I know exactly how you feel when your significant other is hurting and you cannot ease their pain. My sympathies and best wishes go out to you.

Best wishes and prayers to you and your SO. Be a good man and take care of your lady. I know you will.

Prayers sent, prof. Unrelated to this, but you're a great poster here. Level-headed, reasonable, kind, informative. Not just saying that because of your family's loss, it really is true.

I can empathize with you...I found out one of my extremely close friends from childhood lost her battle with cancer this morning. I'm thankful for the distraction the Rant offers today.
I'm sorry for the loss you and your S.O. are experiencing right now. Life is precious, fragile and too short.

So sorry for your loss. Losing family members is never easy. I have lost both parents and in-law parents as well. It made me realize how brief life really is and also that we are ALL mortal and have a time we will leave this earth. I guess my mind told me that we all die eventually but it is my heart that cannot help but hate death.
Knowing the Bible says "Absent from the body, present with the Lord" is a great comfort if you are a Christian but it does not take away the loss of loved ones and the mystery of death. The assurance of eternal life is a great hope for the child of God. It also doesn't change the fact that there is a HUGE hole in your life that was a constant for a long time.
The first time I went to my mother-in-law's house after she moved out I burst into tears. I knew it would never be the same again, and that made me very sad. Still does.
We have fixed it up as a place to stay in my husband's hometown, but I have to say, without her, it is just a house.
Time heals emotions somewhat, but there are many moments something reminds me of my parents, and it is surreal they are gone forever. There will always be moments of sadness. It is good you chose to share this with the forum.
We, the ones still here, should make every effort to make the most of life while we have the opportunity and to NOT take anything for granted.
Again, I am sad for your loss and hope sharing the news helps you.

Sorry to hear that, Prof.

Sometimes just being there is enough. Words can be hard to come by with the death of a loved one, but your support is a tangible reminder that you do care and are sad with your SO.
Posted on 5/15/15 at 12:55 pm to Prof
So sorry for the loss of a loved one. Seek consolation in the cherished memories you've made with her.

That shite sucks, I dread losing my parents. I'm sorry to hear about the loss.
If you need to verbally unleash on someone, I volunteer.
