I never met either of you and can only imagine how bad you feel. I'm sorry you have to go through this because nobody should have to feel that much pain. Your positive attitude and stoke have always been a great part of every post you have ever made. Try to hold on to who you've been and try to regain that wonderful postive attitude that has permeated your posts here. I'll pray for you and your entire family. Know that if you need anything I'll help you. I'm sure you have family and friends closer than us maggots but if you feel like you need more or need someone to cry with or eat with or anything we are all here.
Just like a lot of folks that have preceded me, I didn't know what to say or even how to say it. All day long I kept hoping this was some kind of a joke. I knew nobody would pull such a "joke" but it was all I could hang on to. It let me have some kind of hope. When your friend posted, it squashed all hope.
I lost a Grandmother and a Father to the same fate. Plain and simple, it sucks, bad.
You are who I'm worried about now. Be assured that time does heal these wounds, life continues on and will get better. As hard as it seems, keep your chin up and carry on.

I recieved a phonecall from a mag saying that I needed to post that I was still here...Thank you everyone. James is right, I'm not doing well. Right now I just want to die. To be with my wife. My family and friends aren't leaving me alone. They are keeping me from doing anything stupid. The police led me to believe that she was having an affair with one of the maggots on here..this made it hurt worse.
I finally got ahold of him, and he says that she wasn't having an afair with him, but confiding in him...and that she was very depressed, and that she loved me deeply, and that she was unhappy with herself, and thats why she did what she did.
It made me feel better to know that my wife didn't cheat on me in the 7 1/2 years we were together. It makes me proud. I will always love her.
She has a psychotic mother that may try legal action to take possesion of her stuff(neither of us have talked to her mother in 6+years) and her father says she will probably try and smear my name. Right now i'm greiving and bracing for what possibly may be a legal battle to give her belongings to those who she would have wanted to have them.
Again, thank you everyone. You cannot imagine how much these small messages are helping. They make me feel like I have some reason to live

Doug,
Please, please know that you have many reasons to live. Everyone here, and I'm sure many other people, wants you not only to live, but to someday regain the happiness and joy that you deserve. You will be happy again someday, please stay strong until then.
Doug -
You have a lot of reasons to live. There are a lot of maggots you still need to ski or ride or just hang out with. Right now must be so tough, but it will get better. Just remember there are thoughts, prayers and love coming in from mags all over the world for you and your family. This is more than typing on a keyboard for us. Mags are friends even if we have never met and you, my friend, have many friends you have never met.
Doug,
I'm glad to hear from you. These are the hardest times right now, and I can't really express how much I want to tell you to just keep it in there. I can't imagine what you feel, nor can I take away the pain from you, but if I could, I would shoulder the pain for you.
It's amazing - I've never met you and yet I want to do everything for you.

Glad you are ok shmoesmith and I send you my prayers and deepest condolences.
My God...![]()
So, so sorry. May all Blessings be with you and your family in your time of pain and need. Words can't express -

Gravity. It's the law.
Like many have said, stay strong and you will pull through this. My condolences, sorry.
My condolences. Hang tough, tomorrow will be a little better.
Glad to see you post Shmoe. Even more glad that you are with your family and friends.
Doug, I don't know you nor do I know what to say other than I am sorry.
Stay strong and I wish you the best.
Just rely on your friends and family, you can't get through this without them. Just to echo myself, you can ask anything you need from this group, anything.
It's going to be real hard, but we'll be there to help you along and we will be there at the end.

My prayers are with you. And my heart aches for you as do so many. Let us that are far way continue to pray and give you positive vibes. I hope posting this has shown you how much love is out there just wanting to help.
Her memory and love will alway be in your heart and mind, let it make you stronger. Don't let someone take that away from you with hollow words.
Again my prayers are with you.
I am at a loss for words but truly want to help, because it is something I can't imagine.
I'm so sorry. I'm crushed by this news. I sat in my office and cried like a baby. She's going to be missed by everyone at BCS.

I send all my best and strongest thoughts and vibes...
Unimaginable to me. I hope you can take comfort wherever it offers itself.
Good that you have friends & family nearby.
Too late now ... but for those who might find themselves in your wife's state of mind, or those who might know somebody in such a state: one serious thought of suicide is one too many. It should trigger an immediate, automatic response: get help. Professional help. Sort out the details later. It's an emergency.
Doug I hope you can gain strength in knowing that there are thousands of people reading this thread who's hearts are going out to you. If there is anything this community can do for you don't hesitate to ask.
