So sorry for your loss. I'll be praying for you.
My wife passed yesterday
I just wanted to share with my Audiogon brothers that my wife of 20 years passed on 10/25/14 from a heart attack. She loved good audio and good music and she supported me in my hobby at every turn. I haven't been able to listen to any music since her death, but I hope I will find comfort in it going forward. She never at any time criticized me for spending so much on audio and she always thought I should have what I liked. She was a rare individual and she will be missed by many people.

It is that rare individual that we ideally find as our life mate. You were blessed to have found yours to share the past 20 years with. Yes, she will be missed but as time passes may you reach the place that her memory makes you smile, rejoice and be thankful for the years you shared with her. Peace be with you. You have my deepest sympathy of your loss. |
Chayro - I wish you swift passage through this time of grief. When you are ready to listen to music again, may you find some comfort in this.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIm2NZ115EM |
I first read this thread with deep sorrow a couple nights ago. But at that time, I was unable to reply. However, I have had many thoughts about you and your situation. My condolences to you!! Chayro, the loss of one so dear as a spounse, is devistating beyond words!! I do hope however, that along with the help of friends, family and your other endeavors -- that you, as I oftentime have -- may find some peace and solace in the music that we all so love. Take care.... |
Life is such a cruel trickster~the things we love most are sometimes the most ephemeral. Although in some ways this is very personal for you, many others are there for you if and when you need them. Don't be reluctant to ask- even if it means just to share a meal, a movie or a walk. My thoughts are with you. |
sorry to read about your loss, Chayro. I can only imagine how hard it must be for you. All the best in dealing with this loss. You were a very lucky fellow i have to say if she did not criticize you for indulging in audio - rare are such wives. it could have been a lot worse with her nagging you about every $ you spent on audio. Think of the good times you spent with her - it will probably lighten your load & maybe even make you smile........ |
My deepest sympathy for your loss. I had one of my favorite Audio memories stem from devastating circumstances. My parents were both killed in an infamous hotel fire in Puerto Rico in '86. After they were buried I remained in PR to finalize their affairs. During some down time, dazed and lost I decided to check out a local audio salon, just to kill some time. Once I mentioned my parents and the fire the staff couldn't have been more supportive. They knew I wasn't there to buy but I spent the entire afternoon listening to tunes in their high-end room, they were great!! |
My wife had breast cancer while pregnant with our son over sixteen years ago. We also had a 2 year old at the time. I call that our year of hell plus trying to hold onto a high pressure job in IT. My wife is now a 16 year survivor. I'm so sorry for your loss. Reading this post is a reminder for myself and others to appreciate family and life. I lost my dad to dementia a few years back. Never easy loosing people you love. Hold onto the joy of music and revisit those LPs/CDs that you both enjoyed. Try to focus on those good memories, vacations... special moments. Take care!!! |
Charyo ... I lost my wife 11 years ago to ovarian cancer. We were married for almost 20 years. I mention this only to let you know that I get on a personal level what you are going through. I wish there were smart words to say at a time like this but there are none. Just know that you have my deepest sympathies and are in my prayers for comfort. Bruce |
Charyo, May God be with you in this time of sorrow. Your post made me think of my wife and how understanding she has been through the years. I know you will miss her, but just know that your wife would want you to continue to enjoy what you are pasionate about. Here's hoping you find some solace in your music in the short term. Shakey |
Chayro, I hope the transmitted support from so many of us here on Audiogon can be felt as a friend's arm around your shoulders in this time of sorrow. From the touching description you gave of such a wonderful wife, as you find your way forward let there be a place in life for the music both of you loved. |
