 Lost love is still love. It takes a different form thats all. You cant see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken, another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it....Life has to end....love doesnt.

6th February 1975 to 18th June 2005 x

On Sunday 5th June 2005 my partner, best friend and soul mate of 10 years was taken to hospital with what they thought to be pneumonia. He was in hospital for a week and then on Saturday 11th June 2005 I spoke to him in the morning and he was feeling much better but the doctors were still keeping an eye on him. That was the last time we spoke.

At about 7pm on Saturday 11th June he had a massive heart attack. He was rushed to Intensive Care where they advised us he had blood clots in his lungs and right leg, his liver and kidneys were failing and his heart had suffered severe damage and also had a big clot on it.We went through 5 days of being told any moment they would turn the machines off but then he would make progress so they would hold off and see how things went for a little longer. On Friday they advised that they needed to do a brain scan. The news was devastating. At some point during the week a clot had travelled to his brain and he was now severely brain damaged. They advised they would do another scan on Saturday to make sure but the machines would be turned off in the evening.

He didn’t make it that long. On the Saturday we got a call to say his heart had begun to stop and he passed away shortly after 11.30am Saturday 18th June 2005.

Probably wouldn't be this way - Leann Rimes

I probably wouldn't be this way
I probably wouldn't hurt so bad
I never pictured every minute without you in it
Oh you left so fast
Sometimes I see you standing there
Sometimes I feel an angel's touch
Sometimes I feel that I'm so lucky to have had the chance to love this much
God gave me a moment's grace
Cause if I'd never seen your face
I probably wouldn't be this way

It's difficult to find words that comfort young widows...but suffice it to know that I understand and feel your pain, and my heart and prayers are with you as we go along the broken road of grief. Some days are good, some days aren't...but we are blessed to have the love of great men to cherish in our hearts forever. We also have one another to lean on as well. Hugs.

Oh sweetheart,

I never knew, until just now when I read this, I am sorry.

The pain will only diminish a little each year, it will always be there but as time goes on, it fades just a little each time.

There is nothing that I can say that will help, but just every once in a while, out of the corner of your eye, you will see. That all, you will see from the corner of your eye.

Your friend, Juliet

It always frightens me when I hear about clots. I too had a pulmonary embolism but was extremely lucky to survive it. Stories like this remind me how quick people we love can go. My heart is with you.

just browsing thru dpc and the WPL3 team/femme fatale ... i've only been with dpc a little over 2 months and keep finding new things ... also i havent tried to go on a forum or anything yet ...
but i read your comments on 'Damian'.. and i want to say that my thoughts and prayers are with you ...
as i hope you'd know by now, time is a great healer ... a cliche for sure, and so true ...
and altho i dont know you, i hope that time works its magic and your grief and loss is softened ...
from your write-up it seems that dpc might be working a bit of magic for you in other ways ... i know from my own experience that it can become quite an obsession/ distraction/ interest/ education/ motivation/ inspiration/ etc etc etc

I'm at a loss for what to say Natalya.
I'd rather have 10 years with a soulmate than a lifetime of sharing a residence.
Cherish the 10 years that so many search their whole lives for, yet never find one day of it.
