My wife passed away

[jpsmithny]

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you have some family near who can help and support you while you go this. I will say a prayer for you and your son.

 

[NickTheGreat]

I'm so sorry to hear this. Nothing I can say will help, but you wish you and your son the strength to get through this.

We're all here if you need anything from us.

May you find peace and solace in her memory. I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. This brew's for you and yours...

 

[bendog15]

So sorry to hear that. My prayers go out to you and your family.
Try to keep busy, brewing is always a good time for a little self-meditation and reflection. I'm not good on advice, but try to surround yourself with some family and loved ones. God bless you.

Sorry for your loss.

Kia Kaha (be strong).

Horrible news.

As painful as life may seem now, it will get better with time.

 

[DrunkleJon]

My condolences as well. Take your time, and honor her memory. We are here for you, and will be here when you get back into brewing.

 

[LAHammer]

Very sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your son.

 

[Cottonmouth]

My sincere condolences for your loss.

 

[Photopilot]

My condolences. I lost my father at 16 and many others close to me since then. Eventually the pain fades. Stay strong my friend.

Very sorry for your loss. I wish you and your family the very best in this difficult time.

Wow. I opened this thread expecting to read something like, "after 40 years of marriage, my wife passed away peacefully with her grandkids around her..." or some such thing.

Hope things get easier for you soon. I cannot even imagine (I have a 5 year old, in addition to two older kids).

 

[danorocks17]

So sorry man, this is heart breaking. I will be thinking of you and your son.

 

[rowan57]

My condolences, I lost 7 members of my family over the last 3 years, while not the same, it never gets any easier.

About the same here. But you're right, it's not the same. Closest I have is my father passing away last year...which sucked...but I don't think it even comes close to this.

Deepest Sympathies....take care of yourself and your son.. ;(

At first it seems our very soul is torn apart. Every single day passes with pain and tears of loss. Then comes a day when we remember some special little thing and we smile, maybe with tears, but we smile. In time we change the smile to laughter, still with tears, but laughter. Then we remember what we should, pass the love and the laughter and never forget.

I'm so sorry for you and your son's loss.

 

[northernltz]

Oh my gosh, I am so sory to hear of your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.

Thanks everyone. I took a longer break than I expected, it has been a very tough 8 weeks and there is still a long road ahead, I brewed a beer today "Kelleys Amber ale" is what I'm calling it. Sadly the brew process lacked the fun it normally does 😞

Good you see you again. It hasn't been very long yet. I am sure things will slowly get easier for you.

That must have been a difficult and emotional brew day. My wife is a big supporter of my brewing and requests particular recipes from time to time. It would be very difficult for me to brew again if something were to ever happen to her. I wish you and your family the very best in this difficult time.

 

[NickTheGreat]

Glad to see you back on here. Seems like a nice tribute to her

 

[m3n00b]

Welcome back man. I haven't lost a spouse but I've lost just about everyone else close to me(parent/best friend/sibling) all long before their time. All I can say is to keep busy and forget the bad times, remember the good. Time will help.

 

[garcia]

May you, and your child, find comfort. :-/

 

[brettg20]

This will be the best beer you've ever brewed

Hey Brit,
Sorry for this big loss in your life. I know a bit of what you might be going through as I lost my 23 year old son, suddenly, without warning on Feb. 8 2013
Hopefully by now you are getting good sleep? I would imagine your young son will pull you forward, and over the days and years, you will see your wife emerge through in his personality and mannerisms.
Ironically I too brewed and thought of my son Kyle while doing so. He loved a good nut brown ale, wanted to be a pilot, and we both commented often on all the hawks and eagles we would see along the Mississippi flyway here. I really noticed an uptick in raptor sightings since he left us. I don't know if that is the spiritual side of me looking for meaning or what, but as I was brewing a small raptor circled above me for a good minute or two, and even let out few cry's. Alas, I could not identify it but it made me think up a good name or two for a homemade recipe with Kyle's and a hawks name incorporated.
I only write this to you in the hope that it helps. Life will never be what it was, everything is different, some days with no explanation are very difficult and emotional, other days I take joy in and do not feel guilty anymore. Family, and good friends have carried me through the darkest part of my life. I hope you also can find the good things in life again.
