    On July 16th my wife died of a massive heart attack... no warning. This has been the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with. The attached picture is from 12 days before... looks like the picture of health. She was my world...:(

    I'm very sorry to hear that. I know how close my wife and I are and I just cannot think of losing her. We've been together 24 years this month. But, it's part of life I guess. I lost my mom a few years ago and that's still tough on me so I guess it doesn't go away. Pray for strength and I wish the best for you. Get out and ride, helps a little.

    Breeze,

    My condolences. My heart absolutely goes out to you Brother. I can't say that I know exactly how you are feeling, as I have not lost my spouse, but have lost very significant others in the recent past.
    She was very beautiful. I sometimes try to figure why these things happen the way they do, but no feasible answer comes to mind other than only the good die young. She'll always be young and full of life in your memories Bro.
    Hang with it....time will allow you to heal. Carry the best of all memories you too had together close to your heart. She'll always be there for ya man.

    BikerJim,

    Yes, she was very beautiful... I always wondered what she saw in me. I have been a very lucky man... blessed with Kathy for only 7 1/2 years of marriage but blessed just the same. Thanks for the encouragement guys... believe me I need it right now.

    Breeze,

    Long, slow cruises in the country really help me out in my darker points. Hang in there Bro.

    Breeze,

    At times like this there just never seems to be adequate words to express our sympathy and concerns.

    My pard and the the fabricator of the FXR-SFFF finished that bike as his wife withered away dying from a terminal illness. He worked through the pain and used the work as a release. After the services he and a brother set off to ride the four corners of the US. He just arrived back and stopped by the shop. He was smiling and told me 16k miles was great therapy.

    I don't know what it is but riding has always cleansed my mind.....

    Keep in touch.

    Breeze sorry to hear about the loss, I'm sure it's difficult, the unexpected ones really are tough..

    My neighbor is going through the same thing, one month ago his wife passed in the morning while he was getting dressed for church, there was no indication of illness, nothing.

    It's been a long month for him and many of the neighbors, known them for 13 years.

    It will take time, lean on the friends, that's what they are for.

    Sorry to hear this Breeze. As every situation is different, we can't really say or know how you feel. Just know we're all thinking of you right now. As the others have said..take a nice long ride and feel of the wind. She'll be smiling down on ya as you ride. Take care of yourself first and foremost.

    Condolences

    Breeze, my family and my brothers send you our deepest condolences. When I lost my mom year before last ( 9 months after we had her 100th birthday party) a friend sent me a card with this on it. It is an Inuit (Eskimo) legend....."Perhaps they are not stars in the sky......but, rather where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy and will always be with us." Now when I ride at night or just look up I think of this and smile.
    Words can never fully express what is in our hearts when something like this happens

    Ride Free..............

    Breeze -
    I am extremely sorry for your loss. She looks like a lovely, perfect American women and riding mate. I'll pray for you both tonight. Take care, and keep riding.

    "You" were the Lucky man to have known her...She is beautiful...
    When you feel "the breeze"...that's her letting you know she's there...
    Take it easy, Bro...

    Prayers and condolences out to you. You were indeed lucky, always treasure that fact, and treasure those memories you two made together, I know you will.

    May she rest in Peace, and may you also have Peace. Keep in mind that there IS a peace that passes understanding. I will pray that you find it.

    Condolences for your loss. I doubt the words of some random guy on the Internet are much comfort to you right now, but I feel for you.

    Treasure those memories, and she will always be with you.
