Over the past year my bride was failing more. We grew up since the 3rd grade together and just had our 55th wedding anniversary. I feel numb, sad, confused, and my heart is broken. She had 5 strokes, 2 open heart surgeries, two brain surgeries, was a brittle diabetic for 52 years, kidney failure, dementia, and her vision was failing. After the last stroke her whole left side was compromised. She could not walk or stand anymore. She had tried therapy 13 years after hospitalization. I didn't want to lose her, but I could not fix her. I have tremendous grief. I did everything I could, but she died in my arms. I wish I could have done more. I didn't want to lose her ever. I'm so sorry and my heart aches. I have thought what else I could do to help her before she passed. I didn't want to let her go. My tears continue to fall even as I write this note. I don't have a purpose anymore. I hurt and have one last mission left. It is both her and my desire to be interned at Arlington Cemetary. I love my bride with all my heart. I'm so lost.

Flyguy, please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of your beloved wife. What a love the two of you shared, not only through 55 years, but through severe trials that many others would not have been able to withstand. And you bravely saw her through to the end, as agonizing as it must have been for you to witness.

Thinking of you as you mourn your dear bride. 💐
