This is the first time I have talked about this since it happened 2 weeks ago, my wife of 16 years passed away at 39 years of age, she was not only my wife, she was my best friend Her name was Traci, she had been sick the past couple of years on and off due to lupus, she died in her sleep and our daughter found her and it has been harder on her than anyone, my wife worked as a rn for years taking care of others before becoming sick and had just recently gotten her disability, she was one of a kind, she was my soulmate, she was a wonderful supportive wife that never gave me grief about my hobbies or anything for that matter, she was a amazing mother to our children. She had recently had a heart cath put in by a incompetent doctor who put it in backwards and there is no doubt in my mind that killed her. No amount of money will bring her back to me or stop the pain I feel, but I will sue this Dr. So he can't kill anyone elses loved ones. I hate to put up such a sad inncident on this board but I really like this forum and the people on it, so I just want to remind you all that tommorrow is never guarenteed, tell your loved ones every chance you get how much you love and appreciate them, because you never know. Thanks for listening

You went to school how many years to become a doctor? You're getting paid how much a year? You've been allowed to work on how many people? Sorry but this just p*sses me off when I hear of a doctor being this incompetent!! If I were you, I would make this guy pay as much as possible, and still try and make his life a hell!!
Sorry for your loss :0
-
Thank you, I'm sueing him to make sure he can't inflict this type of pain again, I'd rather see him loose his liscence than to receive one dime. Any money won in the lawsuit will go to insure the kids and grandkids are taken care of, I can't understand how a surgeon can make a mistake like this, I mean really what was this man doing when he operated drugs? I've ran the whole range of emotions from crying non-stop to wanting to take matters into my own hands, thank god I have to be here for the kids and set a good example.

I thank you all for your kind words and prayers, I really told you all of this in hopes that's maybe it will make everyone realise that tommorrow may not come, so live every day as it was your last and love your families with all you have. When I married Traci she already had 2 small girls 2 and 4 that I helped her raise and love as my own, they have made me so proud as they have grown, and I'd never make it through this without them. I never in a million years thought that anything would ever happen to my wife, I always believed we would grow old together and we would be together forever, so please remember nothing is a given, I know my wife knew how much I love her but I'd give anything to be able to tell her and hold her again
-
My deepest sympathy Shawn and mere word's cannot express it but the GTA family stand's by and support's it's family member's through good times and bad. I just lost a close friend myself but I believe that each and everyone that leaves us and this world is still around, maybe sounds odd but I talk to em often. They not answer back but their still around. :) Ed

Shawn, there are no words to help in such a time of sorrow other than, "We care, buddy and we're hurting for you." Please know that you and your family are in our prayers and thoughts. We would never wish this upon anyone let alone a brother in arms! Your advice is wonderful. Life is short and time is fleeting. Don't lose any chance to tell our loved ones how we feel about them for one day it will be the last opportunity to do so. We are praying for you.
"Father, bless Shawn and his family in this time of grief. Draw them near unto You and bring Your peace upon them. Please allow their grief to remind them of both the good times as well as the hard times they shared. And as time passes, heal their pain and anger but strengthen their memories of this dear loved one. All honor, praise and glory to Jesus' name, Amen!"
blessings brother,
Joe

Thanks shadow, It doesn't sound weird to me at all shadow, I feel her presence around me all the time, its like a warm glow and calm feeling that comes over me especially when I'm really upset, my daughter has felt it to when she was trying to clean her moms closet, I've never felt anything like it before. I believe its her spirit trying to make us feel better
-
Ahmen, thank you so much
-
So sorry to hear of your loss Shawn. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Shawn, I am truly sorry for your loss. I wish I could say something that would make sence of it all for you and your family.
You can only take this one day at a time, and some day the pain will hopefully fade.
-
Thank you Jeff
-
Thanks I know she is in a better place and I will see her again, I take comfort in that and knowing how much she loved me, and I have 3 kids- well young adults and a beautiful grandbaby too think of now

Thank you Tony

Prayers going out to you and your family. Take care.
-
Shawn, - I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss. She was so damn young, - unbelievable, hang in there my friend.
-
Thank you, yes she was very young, which is why I say make everyday count, if there is one thing I could change it would have been to have spent more time with her doing anything, I used to dread going shopping with her because it took forever she looked at everything in the store, where I know what I want before I go and I'm in and out, now I would give anything I have just to follow her around the store pushing the cart and letting her try on everything. Life is short enjoy it all while you can.
-
Shawn... my heart and prayers go out to you and your family. We all know that there is a time we will be called and we often ask, why is this the time? Why now?
Only He knows.
It is as you said, very important that we express our love to everyone and especially our parents, spouses and children because we never know for sure that there will be enough time for the next time and it might be to late. And if you believe, you will see her again. May the Lord shine his face upon you and your family.

When I read your post, I immediately almost teared up myself. I am so sorry you have to go through this, but remember you are not alone. I feel your pain. stay strong and do remember that your family is counting on you to help them to be strong as well.
Damn that sucks so bad.
-
I'm sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine. You and your family are in my prayers
-
I cannot imagine what you and your daughter (kids) are going through. I am very sorry for your loss. Very good friends of ours lost their son at the age of 10 a few years ago from a severe ceisure and I felt devestated. I cannot imagine what they felt. It takes very strong people to recover from this. You must be strong for your children and stay busy with activities and visit your relatives often. The children must feel like they are not "alone" and are still loved, by others in your family and your wife's (grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, etc.).
This has been a bad week. My friend lost his wife to cancer on Monday, she was in her 50's.

YOU AND YOUR FAMILY WILL BE IN OUR PRAYERS. STAY STRONG.
