Tuesday morning the washing machine went on the fritz! Wednesday the car wouldn't start making me late for an important event! In addition, my shoes went amiss at the temple and the outside night light burnt out. Normal daily happenings.

However, on Monday morning, my wife, who I have been married to for 15.5 years, who was only 50, 20 years younger than me, passed away after suffering a haemorrhagic stroke on 6 March. She was cremated on Thursday and we spread her remains on the Chao Pryha yesterday in Chainat. I don't think that it has all sunk in yet but it was the worst week that I can remember.

It all goes to show that the best laid plans by mice and men can change in a instant! I never dreamed that she would pass before me.

Sorry to hear about your loss Wayne.

My condolences Wayned..

I'm sorry to hear that mate and for your loss

Nothing in comparison , But one of my mates from way way back in the UK , died of a stroke at the age of 46 on Tuesday, My sciatica reared up and I couldn't walk for a couple of days , and I'm still having a war of attrition with the Home office about my Sons passport

Condolences for the loss of you Wife mate

Wayned, I know it won't ease your suffering mate, but you have people half a world away, ones you've never even met praying for both you and your wife at this aweful time.

you have had an aweful aweful few weeks and Sadly there's no words to offer you to help ease that.

I hope you have a good support network of people around you. If I were in Thailand atm I would drive to your place to give you someone to punch.

Take care.

My Wife and I offer our sincere condolences.

RIP Mrs Wayned

" Sucked" is an understatement.

Keep your chin up and be strong.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Words cannot convey what I wish to say. Upward an onward.

You are right, your week absolutely sucked. You need good friends at this time; ones that will let you feel angry, hopeless, sad and then help you pick up the pieces on the way through it all.

Sorry for your loss.

Bloody hell mate, our thoughts are with you.

Stay strong my friend.

Very, very sorry. Such a loss, and one so sudden and unexpected, will require a long journey to even begin to recover from.

Just know you have friends here willing to accompany you.

At this point just take things one day at a time and let tomorrow take care of itself. I imagine you have a lot of thoughts and feelings to process. Focus on the good.

Sorry for your loss.

Condolences.

Moved to Expat forum

Our sincere condolences Wayne.

Condolences and best wishes sent.....it's at times like this sometimes words fail and silent thoughts, prayer, and precious memories are the best company.....she's still with you - inside....

Onwards and upwards Wayne .

Be strong remember the good times you had together, that will help you.

My most sincere condolences.

dont get much suckier than that

rip to your wife

Very sorry for your loss Wayned

I too am married to a lady 22 years my junior with a type of leukemia that make both of us well aware of the need to enjoy one day at a time, in fact Wan is so concerned that she drew up her own will some time ago making me sole beneficiary just in case she died before me !

I have lost a son and also my previous wife and partner whom I loved very much and at that time thought that maybe life was not worth living anymore.

Time will, if given the chance round off the sharp edges of the pain, even now I still can have a little cry when hear or see something that takes me back to those sad times.

I used to feel a bit sorry for myself (no not a bit a lot) until I realised that to feel such a sense of grief and sadness I must have had a lot of happiness and good times.

it's not nice or a good feeling when you outlive your children or your wife but as I said better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all.

If you feel the need to talk about it then please give me a PM and I will give you my Skype details or Line number

Kind regards

Harvey
