I lost my wife of 36 years only four months back.I was devastated at first.An eighty year old friend advised me to value life as god's greatest gift and that I should feel the air that I breathe in,see the beauty of nature which only mankind can perceive and not loseheart.Whatever I do now will not bring back the beloved person who has departed or do any good to her.I have started living from day to day and every moment spent is gift of god.I accept with humility that it is so and cannot be otherwise.I also do realise that nothing can console a person who has lost so much.May god be with you.
