On February 11, 2014, my husband Donny, the love of my life and best friend, went to be with the Lord in heaven. My world fell apart at that moment. I felt as if I died with him that day.
On that morning, I found Donny unconscious and called the ambulance immediately. My son and his wife Kim, who is a nurse, began CPR on my husband as we waited for the ambulance. One hour later, the doctor at Magee Hospital told us that Donny had died of a massive heart attack. I cannot describe my feelings that day. I seemed to be in a trance, and felt like I was in a dream and couldn’t wake up. I never imagined how badly this would hurt and how terribly I would miss him in my life. I felt an emptiness I had never experienced before. We had been married 41 years and all I had known in my life was with Donny.

Now I have compassion like never before for others who have been through the painful experience of losing a spouse or loved one. The scripture the Lord has given me is found in 2nd Corinthians 1:3-4…Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
I look forward to Sunday, February 8th, beginning 4:00p.m. at First Baptist Church of Magee, to be a part of the seminar/support group, “A Season Of Grief.” My prayer is through this 13- week study by Grief/Share, we will learn to live with joy with our losses and move forward for a brighter future.
