I woke at 1am to her calling me in distress. 4 minutes later at most she was staring at the ceiling gone. Horrible. You don't know how much you really really love someone till they're gone and you absolutely know they aren't waking up.. But I believe the Lord gave me a vision of her in heaven ( seriously). Even if it's my own imagination I'm hanging my hat on that picture anyway not the one I saw Sunday morning.

Oh bless you brother. My heart goes out to you, I can’t imagine your sorrow at this moment. It’s definitely something that I dread in my future but God’s will be done. We just have to push on until it’s our time and when that time comes we can rejoice that the next time we see our loved ones we will never have to part again. Hang in there brother God is with you.

I am so sorry to hear about sudden the loss of your wife. My wife and I have been married for 51 years and I am dreading having an experience like yours.

I am very thankful that the Lord gave you the vision of her in heaven! I have no doubt that the vision is real, and that she is with the Lord at this very moment.

When your time comes -- mine too -- I know that we will be together once again with the wonderful women that have shared our lives on Earth.

May God bless you and comfort you in this difficult time! I will pray for you!

I’m so sorry Dave. May the Lord bring you comfort and the peace that passes all understanding. Prayers for you and all who knew and loved her.

Sorry to hear of your loss Dave. The time for all of us on earth is only a testing time for better things to come in the Lord JESUS. Perhaps it was her time and if you continue in the Lord you will both meet again when JESUS returns. This is my prayer for you brother. Stay near to JESUS and make him your strength in this difficult time.

Gods blessing.

Dave, it was not your imagination, the vision God gave you of your beloved wife in heaven. He gave it to you to reassure you that she is with Him, so that you can have that peace that only our dear Lord can give.

I am so sorry for the time you and your wife will be apart and for the grief you are surely going through. But through it remember that it won't be forever and that you will have eternity to be together.

What has helped me is asking the question " can I really say I wish my loved one back here on this earth with all its pain etc.?

Humanly, I could, but in all honesty can I say I want them to come back to me rather than be in heaven in the presence of our Lord? Truly I can't.

May God bless you and give you His comfort and peace.:heart:
