Welcome. On the 15th of March, 2007 at 12:43pm my wife died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. We had been together over 10 years. This blog is a tool for me to express and journal my journey after the loss.

Freddie
I was with some friends today. One of my friends, Freddie, passed out. We called 911 and when the paramedics came to help, I held his hand to give him comfort. An hour latter he died.
As I was admiring my handiwork in putting up my Christmas tree and looking at all the ornaments, I noticed the little white picket fence surrounding the tree as it has done for many years now. The fence Carol gave me long ago. I think of her, and I think of you and wonder how you're doing. At the Christmas Eve Party tomorrow night, Carol's family will be here, and we'll speak of her with love, because she isn't forgotten by us. You know how welcome you are.
You've had an unimaginable amount of extra trauma given to you to accept this year with the loss of your friends. I can't believe what this must have done to you emotionally.
I think you can now take whatever else there is, stronger for it. Life does that to you.
