My fiancé, Mike W., died at 9 PM, May 2nd.
I'm asking for light and love from anyone who is able to send it. My heart is broken.
I met him last fall, when he was just coming out of his last chemo treatment for Stage IV lung cancer. We both knew it was not a good prognosis, but fell in love anyway. I spent the last four months taking care of him at my home, and two days ago he was not able to walk and had to go stay with his parents so they could help take care of him. He died barely a day later, after lapsing into a coma and very quickly dying.
I'm so sad I wasn't with him when he died. But I'm glad for him and his parents that he was with them, because to have him die here, in another state, would have been hard for them.
He was such a good man, so much the perfect mate for me. I'm sure I'll understand some day why this had to happen. But for now, I'm searching for peace.

May the angels hold you and help you find peace.
I am grateful you had him in your life, albeit for such a short time.

(2,593 posts)Mike's love will sustain me for a long, long while. He was that special. My family loved him, and I loved his family, and it is all sad but OK. I feel somehow I was chosen to do this - take care of Mike in his last days. We talked about it often, how we felt we had known each other for centuries. We completed each other.

(14,881 posts)I'm glad you had the time you did together, although it was way too short a time. You showed great courage and a great heart in opening yourself to love. Doubtless you made Mike's last months as joyful and loving as they could possibly be. He passed well loved and cared for...there is nothing greater we can ask for.
Cherish the memories and the time you had together. And know that you are loved in return...

(2,593 posts)He was such a dear man. I love him and always will. I want him here, I need him, but I also need him safe and happy and in no pain. And now he is that. Safe in the arms of the angels. I know the love we shared will sustain me. It was a true, deeply spiritual, and very fulfilling seven months we had.

(5,510 posts)Be thankful for the time you had together. I'm sure you gathered lots of good karma for taking such good care of him when he needed it most. Confident the Universe sent you to him when he needed an angel on earth . Your unselfishness in letting him go home to his parents will not go unrewarded. Look for good things to come your way, as he repays your kindness.
If only all of us could find someone like you!

I hope and pray that the purpose is revealed to you soon and that it brings you great comfort. Bless you, and bless Mike, and bless the love you shared.

And, as Southern Crone said, your Karma Bank account is full of good and will come back to you in all sorts of ways...
Good luck and bless you and yours...so sorry for your loss

Yes, I think someday the reasons will be given to us why we lose loved ones ...why bad things happen to good people...
Sending light and blessings to all.
