No words can ease your pain, but if you don't mind I would like to suggest an idea to you. The one year anniversary of Bruce's murder wil be coming up in April. In celebration of his prcious life, I have immortalized him in artwork. The actual labor of this artwork is therapy, and I KNOW he is with me especially at these times. _____________________________If you have land, maybe you could landscape a memorial garden for your dear blessed wife. Plant all her favorite flowers, and add a memorial plaque. Have a sitting area where you can go and meditate. You may find a little peace in this labor of love. She will see what you are doing to honor her, and look down on you with a smile. _____________________________________ Our precious loved ones who have been murdered are already in heaven. They have perfected their souls and are waiting for us.Love stays in our hearts. We cannot give up because we have to live out our lives to be with, in the end, those who have already crossed over. We hold on to that love, go back to work and have love and compassion for others. We all suffer one time or another. It is the most difficult trial of our lives. _________________________________ It helps to get outside of yourself too. By this I mean, help others. I provide some clothes & shoes for needy children, although I am poor as a church mouse. The smile on the child's face is the reward that gets me through another day. God bless you, please let me know if you decide to build that memorial garden or try another memorial project. You cannot sit, you must make an effort because our loved ones in heaven want to see us happy.

Dear Alone39, you and your family will be in my prayers during this time. Meme, yes getting out and helping others helps us also. There's so many people need help with many things. Just 1 person's efforts can make a tremendous difference. All those efforts can effect change, and even 1 person's can. I lived TOO many years in what I call "me-world". It makes me sick now. I want to make up for that and never go back. I agree with you, to see the face of the person we help is wonderful. Take care.
