Thanks so much for your good wishes.
She died Januay24, 2015, 8;15 AM in bed right next to me of an immediately heart attack. She not sick or digging any way, thank goodness!!
Dr said that what happy to me is the witst kind of grief. He said if someone’s is really sick, you know that person might die and you are somewhat mentally prepared, however she was not sick so her dying instantly was a double heartache you can’t be prepared for!

@dennismm You're right, the shock was very traumatic. My wife passed away from a cardiac arrest and the doc who came to the house said she had no idea what happened and it was peaceful. I now realize that a peaceful passing is easy on the person however, it is horrible on the family. No time to prepare and decisions had to be made immediately. The calls to my 3 adult kids at 7AM that day will be something I'll never forget. Healing takes time and, in many cases, years.
