    I lost my wife

    My wonderful wife lost her battle to colon cancer. She was my best friend. Above all, she put up with me even after I found this forum. She tried so hard to build up enough strength to take chemo but endless complications kept her from it. The cancer started on the outside of the colon, so it was too late by the time they found it. My wife, Margo, was already battling a closed head injury and breast cancer that had gone to her bones when this final straw took her from me. Life does have it's cruel moments and she got more than her share. God, I miss her.

    Very sorry to hear of your loss. There's just no words I can think of that might help, so I'll just say a prayer.

    My sympathy to you. Her pain is now gone.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    BBA,
    I am truely sorry for your loss and I know how this hurts. It happened to me in 2008 when my best friend went to be with the Lord.

    At my wife's funeral a lady who had lost her husband a few months earlier approached me and said the following. "People tell you it will get better, but its a lie, it does not. It never gets better, you just learn to live with it."

    I was shocked and a little offended. Now I realize she knew exactly what she was talking about. I hope this story does not offend you. I will pray for you and your family as you struggle through this terrible time.

    Respectfully, Malcolm

    I am truly sorry also for your loss. There just aren't the rite words to console a person after such a loss. Lately i have been wondering what i would do in your shoes. Unfortunately i would prob. build some very high walls an become more of a hermit.

    Prayers are for you tonight. My wife died at 47 years old from cancer, 3 years ago.

    It changes us forever. The lady was right, with one caveat. You will laugh again after awhile. We never forget but we learn to cope. Hang in there.

    All the best, Don

    Having received myself what doctors say is my death notice I have learned to be thankful each day for not only what I have but to also know how much it will hurt those who love us when we are gone.

    What can I say?...nothing that would really help you...but to say I will think of you too..

    Try to remember the good times. Cry when you need to, Laugh when you are ready, Hold your friends close and your Family closer. This is God's world and we are his children. Turn to him in prayer it really does help. My prayers are with you. May God's Angels surround you and comfort you. God Bless.
