My 6 Weeks from Hell

Dude that terrible, I cant even imagine how I would cope with something like that.
It can only get better from here.
 
Damn, dude. That really sucks! I'm sorry to hear about your difficult times but hopefully the new year and future will be brighter.
Don't lose hope and cherish the relationships you have because you never know how long they'll last.
Strongs!
 
So sorry. That is so rough.

It is probably even rougher with a young one... But you might find one day that, because you have each other, that you will make it through...

Sorry for the other people in this thread that had a tough time...

Sorry to hear about your awful year. Thankfully your wife lives on in your son and in him you have someone to love. Be strong and post here whenever you need support from us. Big hug.
 
Grief, so sorry Sir, must have been hellava shocking! I hope you find some joy this Xmas for the little person and that 2014 is a better year!
 
There are few occasions in life where we have a sincere opportunity to reflect inwardly. The hustle and bustle of daily life doesn’t allow for it very much. But when tragedy strikes and we feel as if our world is falling apart, we have an opportunity to do precisely this…and all too often we focus on the negative as if the world is out to get us – it’s not. What begins as a feeling of uncontrollable pain, can, with the right mindset, end in something liberating and meaningful.

I have learned that the key to this is to not sweat the little things in life. It’s probably one of the most important things I’ve been trying to teach myself over the years. The way that we react to the little things in our lives can become a very defining characteristic of our personality, and in situations where we are down, can prevent us from getting back up. I’ve been there too many times to recount.

When the world throws your way a traffic fine, it has the ability to tear you down inside…but it doesn’t have to. Even if times are tough, you always have bigger and more important things to concentrate your efforts and thoughts on. Some things are outside of your control, and getting angry about them doesn’t resolve anything at all. A fine for forgetting to put your license disk on was preventable, but completely understandable given your circumstances. I bet both you and your kid needed the day out, and something to put a smile on your face. Don’t let a trivial fine get in the way of smiling. I sing the tune “Don’t Worry. Be happy” when something trivial happens now.

I’m not discounting what you’re feeling now though. The very opposite, in fact. All I’m saying is that there really is light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. Hell, light travels, so it’s not just at the end. It’s all inside that tunnel. You just need to find it. You’ll find it if you allow yourself to look for it, and you’ll only get there if you don’t sweat the little things in life. Don’t let them get to you. As someone who has beaten cancer, don’t let a traffic fine bend your nose out of shape. :D

I’m truly sorry to hear about your loss. It hurts, I’m sure. But don’t for a second think that mother nature is out to get you. You can learn a lot about yourself in this time, and teach your kid lessons he/she will love you even more for in years to come. I sincerely wish you all the best, man. And kudos for wanting to talk about it. It’s a tough thing to do, but it does indicate that you’re starting to heal those internal wounds. You sound like a strong human being, and that’s admirable.

I’m starting to sound preachy now. Sorry about that. I can however relate, and just want to show my support. Sounds like you’ve got it in droves there, but the forum is also a good support mechanism if need be, in this weird digital world we live in…
 
so sorry to hear all this man. here's my hand to hold in your times of trouble and turmoil.

@DJ, lots of food for thought ...tnx

Tnx everyone else for the kind words.... all I can say is God works in mysterious ways and I'm at peace that my wife is free of her earthly burdens.
 
****, can't imagine what losing your wife must be like.

I had a rhinoplasty and something else I can't remember and it was mega kark, can't imagine what yours must feel like.

Somebody read "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff and It's All Small Stuff: Simple Ways to Keep the Little Things From Taking Over Your Life"
 
Sweet lords, thought I was having an annus horribilis, ...all I can say is hang in there....there is a reason for all the trails we face in this life, usually takes time and distance from the event, to see how it fits into the greater journey you are on. Vasbyt, it does get better!
