lost my best friend today

[STAN WHITE]

Hi my name is stan white, I lost my best friend last saturday her name was Carolyn. I know a lot of guys say that is the problem with the Barn as we are all getl older and pass away. I agree it is true I guess you could say thats life. But it is way more to it than that. I am 83 and my wife was 73 we were together for 24 years. She was my best friend. I can not beleave that she is gone. Its hard to continue but you know that is what she would want you to do. I hope that I can do that, right now I am not able to do that. But I am going to try. Some of you might know me, I am the guy with the 34 3WDW have had it for 35 years started to work on it a year ago. I HAVE HAD A LOT OF HELP FROM THE GUYS ON THE barn. Anyway thanks alot for the help. The bottom line is that life is precious and even though you think you are good to go. As Carolyn and I thought about our selves sometimes its not, Stan

[petehoovie]

My heart goes out to you, Stan. Hang in there and continue as "she would want you to do"...

[tubman]

I am very sorry to hear this, Stan. I can understand what you are going through, as I lost my companion of 38 years three years ago. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her.

I have found that having a project in progress is a good thing at a time like this. Perhaps that will serve you well, too.

So sorry for the loss Stan, enjoy the memories you have

[ford38v8]

Oh Stan ....I can't begin to imagine your feelings. I DO know that you must feel lost, and the sadness must be rough. Many of us here wishing for your sadness to diminish, and for the wonderful memories you must have with Carolyn to flourish. At the least, God afforded you the opportunity to share many wonderful years with a wonderful woman. She will ALWAYS remain very close to your heart. DD

Stan, I understand your grief and hope you can be consoled through God, your wife's wishes and your strength. I know she will always be close to you in your heart and memory's.

I lost my wife, Jan 6th of '17. I waited a very long time to get my wife and best friend, we only had 17 years together and they were the best of my life. Now almost 5 years later, it still hurts, very much but, at least she's not in pain any more.

All my best to you. Work on that '34

Hey Stan, first of all a big THANKS for sharing your very personal story . . . I'm sure it was not easy to write. But, I do believe that sharing the stories of your life with your best friend and wife is part of healing.

Take time every day to remember all the good, share it, laugh at it, know that she's always there with you and rejoice in all your experiences. Time will provide new perspectives and healing will get done!

Stay active, keep working on your various projects and don't slow down (and don't stop eating good food). Create new experiences, do things you've not found time or energy to do - challenge yourself in new ways. Bring some vibrancy to your life.

We're here for yah!

Stan, I too am very sorry to hear of your loss. I don’t know what you’re feeling exactly but I know losing not only your wife but your best friend as well, well that’s a tough one.

My heart goes out to you sir. I’m glad you shared this with us. It will help us realize not to take what we have for granted. Praying for you Stan.

[rockfla]

Stan
Sending prayer's and comfort for your loss. Your post has hit home for me as my wife found out within the last month, two weeks apart that she has "double" cancer and she is a young woman. SO praying for peace and healing for you my Fordbarn friend!!!

[Don Rogers]

Stan, I am very sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my wife and best friend of 53 years in May of this year. It really hurts and will hurt for a long time. Don't keep your emotions pent up inside you. Let it out and don't worry about it. There will be reminders of her every day. Some things will make you cry and some things will make you smile.

With respect and understanding, Don Rogers

[Sal]

I'm very sorry for your loss, May She Rest in Peace. I will pray for her, it is always sad to lose a loved one. Take care of yourself and speak to some one at your church about grief counseling.

[1952henry]

Sympathy and prayers. God bless.

Stan,
You are in our prayers for sure, there is nothing I can say that overrides a prayer!!

[DavidG]

Stan, I am saddened to learn of your loss. Don Rogers said it best as the memories will come from a myriad sources day in and day out. I lost my best friend, my wife, Elaine. to cancer two years ago next month and my advice is to take it a day at a time and dwell on all of the good times you had together through the years. With time the pain will begin to fade.

[32phil]

[transbytip]

Stan,so sorry of your precious loss,lost my wife of59 years10&1/2 months 3years ago does get a little easier but not much staying busy helps.Cliff.

[Ian NZ]

Stan so sorry for your loss. I know of your loss I am 85 and I lost my wife two years ago this month we were married over 50 years. she was very interested in Ford Vehicles and knew what was going on, I find things are not the same, I am living by myself and when you go to car club events you are there by your self and other guys have there wives so I do not go far these days. I am lucky I do have two sons who are very interested in Ford Vehicles who keep an eye on me. I do have a good workshop and I do have car projects which are keeping me going and I try and help others.

[STAN WHITE]

Thank you for all your replies! Stan White

[History]

I am very sorry Stan and to all of you who have lost your partner. I've lost both parents and watched my mother deal with my dad being gone. She's waiting for you just out of sight, all of you in that other dimension. One thing you fellows have done by sharing your story is make the rest of us who still have our partner appreciate the time we have with them. Thank you for that and I pray you (all of you) can find peace and live to the fullest.

[Pete/Ct.]

So sorry Stan, but you are correct, life is precious. Don't worry she'll still keep an eye on you... Pete/Ct.

[bob from red oak]

Stan thank you for posting. I also will think of you in prayer. Your post reminds me of how much I appreciate my wife of 50 years. I hope your future continues to be filled with beautiful memories of your friend and she will continue to be a part of your life every day.

[Karl]

My condolences Stan. Unfortunately the price we pay for loving is the pain of loss and the more we love the higher the price . The way you feel is a tribute to her , you and your relationship . Hang in there -Karl

[Jeff/Illinois]

Very sorry to hear of your loss. It's a reminder that life is a gift and can change very quickly on us. We all take it for granted. But time is flashing by.

Again, so sorry. Hang in there.

[JM 35 Sedan]

Stan, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. I can't imagine how I would handle loosing my wife of 53 years, or any of my immediate family for that matter.
I'd suggest keeping yourself active on your car, or on your other projects, as a way to keep your mind active on other issues. Take care.

[slowforty]

My wife died about 9 years ago (35 years). It Does not get any better but dont let it get any worse. A hard part to get used to is having no Supervision. One day at a time.
