My Life Altering Event

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

I became a widower at an age too young for it.  Most people don't worry about experiencing the loss of a spouse until late in life.  I experienced it 21 years old.  Cystic Fibrosis patients struggle without the world's understanding of the disease.  There are other complications that accompany the disease, and I wish the world knew how much suffering exists.

Lovely picture you got there!
We have more in common than you are aware of.
After dozens of relationships that did not really work, I finally found the love of my life. This was it, I felt 100% certain. So we started a family. She gave me 2 daughters and then one morning she just did not wake up. She was 25 and left me with a 4 and a 1 year old daughter. It was winter and it remained winter for years, I could not enjoy anything anymore. Food, music, company,... they were all shades of grey. Only my daughters had colour, on a grey background.
They are 15 and 18 now, and to some extend colours have returned around me.
According to the Bible Jesus once said: "I lived, I died and yet I live".
I can say the same thing.
And so can you.
I hope you find some help in this.
Enjoy your new family!
