My name is Richard and I live in Newfoundland, Canada. On Oct 31, 2005, my beautiful spouse and best friend Debbie died after a 2 1/2 year battle with bone cancer. She would have been 35 in December. We've been together for 13 years and we loved each other unconditionally. I was 18 years older than her but the love we shared outweighed the age gap.
8 years ago, I lost my 20 year old son to a drunk driver, if not for Debbie, I would have surley died from grief...even in her pain she was my pillar.
Now that Deb is gone I feel that my life has no purpose, everywhere I go and everything in our home has Debbie all over it. I feel so alone, empty and God knows what else!
Debbie was a kind, caring, loving person who not only was she struck by this terrible disease, but God also decided to make her suffer to the very end.
Sometimes I think that I am being punished for some unknown reason...wasn't losing a child enough, now I lost the best person in the world and I worry that I will not pull through. Hope someone out there can offer some help.
