Maura took a sudden and unexpected turn for the worse not quite two weeks ago. We were able to keep her from suffering too much.
I'll probably just lurk the boards for a while... don't feel too chatty.
Momma told me (after her own mastectomy), 'If there's anything you want to do, get out there and do it, because life is short'. Now I tell this to all of you.
my wife passed away this morning

For Maura, 4/7/59-11/21/09... My Muse, my Heroine, my Editor, my Patron. All that I have achieved as a writer is because of her.

As a professional, you, are your one and only asset. Without integrity you are worthless, but with it, you are priceless.

My deepest sympathies. Not much I can say other than that, as I know nothing anyone can say can lessen the grief you will be feeling over the coming days and months, but my thoughts are with you.
Best,
Keith

I too send you my deepest condolences. Your grief must be all the deeper for all the hope that you have had over the last few months. My thoughts are with you.

My sincere condolences, Kevin. After the sadness begins to ebb, take heart and start to heal. Eugene is a good town in great country. Spend some time by a lake, in the hills, or at the coast to watch the waves roll on and on.
Last night I learned that one of my students, barely 25 and full of promise, took his own life. I'm trying to focus on what he was, and not what will never be. Perhaps you can do the same with your own memories.

So sorry to hear. But your mother’s words are wise.

Kevin, I am so sorry to hear this sad news. Words feel so inadequate, and they do little to lessen the pain. I hope you're surrounded by people from whom you can draw strength.

So sorry to hear this news. I've lost too many friends and family in the past few years, so I know that there aren't any words that can take the pain away, and unfortunately in this venue words are all we have. Know that you are not alone. Prayers and healing energy to you and your family.
