Widows & Widowers Support Group
This community is dedicated to those who have lost a husband, wife, or partner. Anything is open for discussion here, with the hope that we can focus on grief, bereavement, life after loss, and continuing on after a great loss.
Yesterday, I solicited from this group, your thoughts on what "Love" means to you. So far, there have been 22 responses, nearly all from the women members. As a grieving man, I have been profoundly touched by the depth of your thoughts and conceptions regarding this most basic of our emotions. The devotion to your lost spouses is remarkable. Your husbands are very lucky men, indeed. I use the present tense, because these men clearly live on in your broken hearts.
As many of you have come to know, I associate music with my emotions, and I find it most beneficial to me when I can share a musical experience to assist me in communicating the feelings and thoughts that are in my heart. This is yet another of those times, and I want to thank you ladies with the following:

I CLICKED ON THE LINK AND FELT MY HEART STOP FOR A SECOND. I WILL ADMIT I COULD ONLY MAKE IT HALF WAY THROUGH THE VIDEO, BUT DID SAVE IT. HER VOICE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. GROWING UP IN A STAUNCH IRISH CATHOLIC FAMILY, THAT SONG COMES TO SIGNIFY EVERY SOMBER MOMENT OF LIFE (ALONG WITH AMAZING GRACE DONE ON THE BAGPIPES). THE VERY FIRST TIME I EVER SAW MY FATHER CRY WAS AT HIS DADS FUNERAL WHEN SOMEONE GOT UP TO SING THIS SONG.
I THANK YOU FOR POSTING IT, BECAUSE HAVING THAT FLASHBACK JUST COME TO ME MADE ME REALIZE THAT IT IS TIME FOR ME TO MAKE THE DRIVE TO SEE MY DAD BEFORE IT ENDS UP THAT I AM HEARING THAT SONG IN PERSON ONCE AGAIN!!
THANKS JOE, AND HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY

Music is also very important to me. I cannot imagine my life without it.
