Lost the love of my life Tuesday.

All, my daughter Alyssa wrote a wonderful note regarding the passing of my beautiful wife, Linda. On Tuesday, Linda finally succumbed to the endometrial cancer she battled for nearly 3 years. To say this is devastating is understatement. She was so incredibly strong. She has been my rock, the foundation of our lives together. I have been amazingly fortunate to have had her as my life partner all these years.

Dear family and friends,

My mother, Linda L Sorresso, passed away this morning at 10a, September 22nd, 2015. She slipped away peacefully, in the comfort of her bedroom, in the company of her family.
I want to thank everyone who has reached out, called, texted, delivered food and general taken care of my family during this difficult time. We deeply appreciate everything that you have done. I want to thank my aunts and uncles (Aunt Lisa Sherry Johnson, Aunt Jean Emmendorfer, Aunt Beth, Uncle Pat, Uncle Denny, Aunt Linda Sherry, Aunt Giovanna Multala, Uncle Henry, Aunt Carol, Aunt Maria Sam Josepher) and my other parents, Carol Chataigne and Duke Chataigne, who tirelessly took care of my mother, giving her medication, and working with hospice to keep her comfortable. They truly embody what family means, and I know my mother loves each one of you.

As much as we will miss her, she will miss all of you too, and the joy she took in talking to and cooking for you, being your confidant, nurse, home decorator, second mother, boss, friend, sister, aunt, wife and mother.

Dom,
Words cannot express my deepest sympathy for your loss. Likewise, I don't think it's possible to fully comprehend the depth of the loss you are experiencing. All I can do is to imagine the sorrow I would feel if I lost the love of my life, Karen.

To the extent of my comprehension, I offer you my deepest condolance & prayers for tomorrow & the days to come.
Jerry

[XfireZ51]

Thank you Pete. Thank you Jerry. I feel as if I have not lost my life partner but more as if I have lost my other half. It will be tough coming home to an empty house, or not calling to "check-in" when traveling for work. You realize how important it is for you to share what you do with the one you love. How you do things and your reward is their happiness.

Sorry for your loss.

I lost my Wife 7 1/2 years ago, still miss Her.

I can't imagine how after 7 1/2 years, or 7 1/2 centuries you wouldn't miss your wife.

Forever is a very long time.

God bless you and your family sorry to hear of your loss Dominick.

[C4Ray]

It's always sad to see the loss of another's loved one and instead of typing the easy and all to common "god speed", let me digress and wish you strength thru this time of intense grieving but rest assured knowing time heals all and tho she is gone, you will become stronger and better with her approval. Press on, stay busy and let time happen. Empathy and perseverance is key... Bottom line keep on keeping on amigo.

Thx C4. I know u r right. It's difficult to move forward without feeling that I should not feel happiness of some sort. Survivor guilt?
Regardless, my wife was incredibly brave and strong. She endured much more than I could have. She made it easier for me by her fortitude.
I miss her a great deal.

So sorry to hear of your wife's passing, Dominick. Life often works in strange ways (sez the fellow Aqua/Gray enthusiast)

The Aqua ZR was the one my wife actually LIKED! She said it was pretty.

Condolences to you and your family Dom.

[WB9MCW]

Sorry to hear this news Dom - Take it easy one day at a time for now.

[XfireZ51]

Thank you all for your expression of sympathy and condolences. Nelson reached out to me and it was good to connect w someone who is also going through the same life altering event. We are all guilty of chiding our wives, but losing my life partner shakes my very foundation. You realize how fundamental your partner is, how intertwined they are to every decision you make, and how big a role they play in your life.
I started a new position w BMW-North America recently so I am focusing my attention there. As part of my work, I get to drive new Bimmers but even there part of my enjoyment would have been my wife riding alongside me. And now that won't happen. :cry:

[We Gone]

Dom, I'm so sorry to hear about this, I had no idea as I don't get to off topic often. I was talking with David just tonite and he told me.

Please accept my late condolences.

Thank you Steve. I truly appreciate the sentiment and hope no one else needs to go thru something like this.

[ZR1North]

A very belated message of condolences, Dom. I seldom visit this part of the forum and very much regret not seeing your September note sooner. I know a lot has happened since, but I want to let you know we're still thinking of you and your family, especially this time of the year. As you said in one of your posts, you never fully recover, but I hope the healing process has helped somewhat at least. We'll have a toast to Linda's and your life together - and the memories that live on - when we connect in May if not sooner.

Bob

Dom I never read off topics and just for fun I read it today. I am sorry I did not know about the passing of your wife Linda. It is a very hard thing to deal with and I know because I lost my first wife to cancer in 2007. You have alot of life to live and a fine daughter to look after so hang in there and remember the good times and that one day you will be with her in heaven.

Take care my friend.

. Ed you understand how insidious cancer is. I think of it as the "Ultimate Terrorist". You are further along in your journey but I am sure you recall how difficult these first months/years are.
Thanks Ed and Bob for your sentiments

[Fully Vetted]

Dom - I, like several others, rarely get off topic any more and missed your post. I'm so sorry to hear of your wife passing. I can't even begin to imagine what you been through for the last 2+ months. I recently lost my Dad to brain cancer and while it doesn't compare to loosing your life partner I know the pain that awful disease can bring. Dad was in full remission in Sept and he was gone in Dec. They will tell you that they are in a better place and no longer in pain or suffering and while that all may be true the bottom line back here on earth is there is a now a void that can't possibly be filled.

We are thinking of you and your family. We will keep you in our prayers. Stay strong...

[XfireZ51]

Dave,

Yes. My wife had just finished chemo which appeared to eliminate the tumors in her lungs. She seemed to be recovering and begin eating more even thinking about going back to work. And then her back began hurting. It was a mass in a thoracic vertebrae and then radiation. Her body said ENOUGH. We had wine w some friends on the deck of their home one day, and about 4 weeks later she passed.
Just massive.

[Fully Vetted]

Wow. That's just awful. Again, you are in our prayers. Stay positive, Brother. And stay connected. You're surrounded by people respect and appreciate you. Use that to your advantage.
