I would like to personaly thank everyone who has read my story about what happened to my husband on that dark day. I find myself questioning religion. I was raised as a Jehova's Witness and stopped studying when my mom stopped and started question my purpose in life as I studied various religions and going through the loss of my husband makes me want to believe that religion doesn't really mean anything. So many controversies about life after death altho I do cross my fingers in hope that theres a chance I might see him again. I also feel guilt that I didn't get to enjoy him as long as I wanted to and that I could of been a better wife. I admit that I took it for him for granted thinking we would spend the rest of our lives together. He was a great provider he was just starting out as an instrumentation engineer and he had been working in his field at the same company for almost a year and a half and hes gotten great performance reviews and many raises. He had just gotten another raise and we were just getting our finances in order and we just had so many dreams like buying our first house having another baby. Just the way he left this earth and the pain he must of been in while drowning. His whole life was a struggle he came from a big family for 4 brothers and one sister and they all moved to Canada from south america to have a chance at a better life. Times were though back in south america sometimes he never knew what his next meal was going to be. When he moved to Canada they all struggled to learn english and finish school and make something of them selves. He started down the wrong path of gambling his paychecks away before I met him and with the love of his family they got him out of that. When he and I met I tought him about managing money to be able to pay rent and pay off his debts. He was working fulltime and I was working fulltime just to make ends meet so he struggled financialy and he had stresses at work. Everything we ever did was for the love of our son. We gave him the best that we never had growing up. Name brand clothing and name brand toys we had spoiled our son together. He died exactly a month before our sons second birthday. My son watched his dad die along with me but because of his age I told him that hes sleeping. Everytime I look at my son I just bring myself to tears because he had a good dad. There are so many guys out there that dont give a crap about their kids but some how these guys are still living and my husbands not. It just breaks my heart. His dad wont be there for his first day of school or his high school grad or wedding and even if I do get remarried theres no way the step dad will love him as much as if he were his own kid. I have been trying to move on as best as I know how. I started smoking in september and I went to school to up grade my skills and finaly landed myself a job within my career. my life just feels so empty with him at my side seeing my accomplishment.

    I know you feel empty and you must miss your husband terribly. It's a tragedy and very unfair. No one can answer the why of it. We just have to go on. And you have a little guy whose whole world is you. When you feel like you don't want to go on for yourself, try to go on for your sweet little boy.

    One day at a time, DTBL.  It won't seem so overwhelming that way.  I hope you find peace and acceptance.  I'll continue to keep you in my thoughts.  {{{hug}}}

    Hey hon,
    I don't know what to tell you about religion, I have my own and I am happy with it.  I do believe that God knows your sorrow and he is waiting to warm your heart and ease your burden.  You have your son and as he gets older you will see your husband in his eyes.
    My father died in 1993, when my son was 8 I had him baptised.  During the prayer I saw in my minds eye, my father there.  He was standing, and was in white, and his clothes were like baptismal clothes.  He had his hands behind his back and i had the feeling he was there to witness my sons baptism.  Your husband will be there when you need him, God is not so heartless to let us go through this life alone.  He loves you and your son and he knows your husband loves you both also.  I still feel my fathers presence at times and I will even talk to him as if he is in the same room with me at times.  Right now because of your pain, it is hard not to be angry and question God and the afterlife.  It is understandable but as time goes you will know within your heart that your seperation with your husband is just a temporary one.  I hope that each day will continue to bring peace to your life.  We are always here for you.

    "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."... I died inside the day I saw the caption that said that that man was married.... when he died... I went through some really wierd stuff.  John said he did not believe in death (and for the list of all the other things he did not believe in...).. that it was like getting out of one car and into another.  I think the ability to communicate with the ones we love who no longer have their body depends partly on our individual strength to accept their presence, without freaking out or thinking we are insane... or whatever,  Hang in there.   I raised 12 alone... and especially the youngest 8 because the man I was married to (who is one of the alive group you described) became so jealous over the communications with the dead... well, he accused me of the worst.... and it was one-day-at-a-time for a long time.... and I loved every minute, really.
