But I do believe they are closer than we realize even though they have passed and so I wrote this song called "A Brighter Place" © copyrighted

I created this song in hopes to comfort others as I have been comforted.

I was deeply touched by my sister in-laws book she wrote dealing with the loss of her brother in a car accident when he was 9. I am married to her Sister...

I lost my soul mate five months ago. We had been together for 14 years. We were each others whole world. We loved doing everything together. The only time we were really apart was when we were working.

My wife of three days under a year and a half passed away on November 7th. She was 50 yo. She'd been battling cancer, but that wasn't what killed her. She'd had heart attacks in the past and suffered from congestive heart failure. In recent months her Type 2 diabetes spun out of control, as well. Leading up to her passing she'd been successful mitigating the diabetes using her insulin. But it was too much too late.

On the morning of the 7th I woke up...

I'm grateful to have found this site. My wife died suddenly less than 2 weeks ago. She had had some health problems and I had to take her to the hospital, but they never found anything on an MRI or CAT scan. She thought that having low sodium levels (se was losing weight on a low salt diet) was giving her seizures, but I think now that she had a missed blood clot and should have been on a blood thinner. Her doctors seem to have missed giving her the medication, as they were...
