ThePhleo | 2,198 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Rest in Peace Mrs. Tabonga. @Tabonga if you need someone to reflect on, message me. The Phleo family is all too familiar with grief these past few years and months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Pac | 7,646 Graphics Team · Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Wow - I hope you're able to keep your head up, dude. And I don't know if you're particularly religious, but if it's any consolation I'd bet the Missus is chilling with some angels in paradise right now. Hang in there! -CasualCart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As bad as my mother's death was in 2014 this is an unimaginable magnitude above that. After 39 years the house just seems so empty. Wow you two were together for that long? I only just turned 41 myself. I mean, I don't know what to say...I mean I don't know what I'd do or how I'd be if my wife was to you know, check out unexpectedly or something EDIT: Little did I realize at the time I would find out about 2.5 months later...

She was a little bit uncomfortable shortly before she died and they gave her some pain meds - so she certainly passed peacefully. It is hard - no doubt about it. But I know I will get through it -just going to take time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have heard of this before, try to focus on memories of the good times, and not dwell too much on the terminal illness phase. Remember her for what she would like to be remembered by. The fact you've been together for such a long time, I can only imagine how great of a person she was, and how many wonderful memories there would have been! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted52405 | 178 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Very sorry about your loss. Glad to hear that it was a peaceful passing, and also that you're handling it so well. Wow, 39 years is forever and a half. No doubt at all that both of you made each other's lives better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webhead123 | 691 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) No death is ever "timely" but I'm glad that at least she was reasonably at peace when she passed. A friend of mine lost his wife very suddenly last year. She was quite young and it was unexpected. Obviously things will never be quite the same but we're encouraged to see through him that life does get better, if only one day at a time, most importantly by never shying away from the support and comfort of the others in your life that matter. From my family to yours, I hope for all the best in this difficult time. Edited April 2, 2021 by Webhead123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
