" I am so sorry for your loss. I am currently sitting alongside my 14 month old daughter who was shaken by her caregivers and is now coming out of her coma - she is now left with TBI... My heart goes out to you. "

" Patience is golden! I do not know you, but I feel your pain in your words. The pain we feel is because we are left here on this earth and our loved ones travel to be with a greater being. To a greater place more beautiful than we could ever imagine. Please take comfort in that feeling, and rid yourself of the burden that you are feeling in the loss of someone I know was so dear to you!
Take care! nsm "

" I am sorry for your loss. I have been away from the board for a while. In addition to my prior condition a drunk driver rear ended me and my passenger running about 90 mph, no exaggeration. I was running the speed limit in rush hour traffic and had no where to go, but I digress. I think many here read your post, and felt your pain, but can't find the right words for a situation like yours. Try to find comfort in family or friends because as you know you need it more than ever right now. You will be in my prayers, as will your family. I have a friend who lost his 2 year old daughter to an accident several years ago, and he said a bereaved parents support group really helped him and his family deal with the tragedy. I think the internet is wonderful and much knowledge can be gained here, but it is no substitute for a real group that meets and talks about these things. You learn so much just listening to others with similar problems. I really feel for you, and you are welcome here anytime with open arms, but this may not be the best place for you to get your specific questions answered. Daily Strength is a great forum, it has many subjects if you click on the "support groups" tab next to the home tab you may find one more closely relating to your needs. I found one for widows that might help you a lot. Here is the link, and God Bless You.

" At this moment it does not seem like it but time is a healer and if I can say from our experience some years on we are pleased that our father passed away after sustaining brain ijury. We only came to this conclusion though after our son sustained TBI and survived, we now know that the life Dad would have had after his accident would not have been enough for him so are able to take comfort in his passing. Death is often easier and I think takes our loved ones from us to spare them from a life that was not as they knew it. In every day look for one bright spot, it may be that someone smiled and said hello, or someone responded to you on Daily Strength. Look for the good and try to concentrate on this to help get you through. Try putting a cuddle cushion in your bed. They are a long rectangular cushion which you can cuddle in to. Mum found this comforting having scoffed at the idea initially. Hang in and do not refuse any offers you get no matter that you might not want to go. Too many refusals and people stop calling you need their friendship and support which will get you through. Chin up girl you can do it, there was life before you met your soulmate and there is life after.... you just have to be part of it and he will be there but you cannot feel that until you start living again. One step at a time girl, what is that step going to be today? Go do it. "

" I care. Pain is felt no matter who the person was. Sounds like you had a wonderful marriage. He will be waiting for you, when it is your time. My wife died, to me, when she gave up on me with my TBI. But I only mourn the time that I wasted with her. Remember all the good times that you shared. "

" i am so sorry for your loss....I've been caring for my husband for two years and dont know what I would do without him. People do not understand unless they have been in our situation.

I will pray for you...try to remember him as he was and as you both were together...soul mates. "
