My deepest condolences to you and your family. We lost our mother at young age and my father was broken, but he got through it Stay strong and live your life the way your wife would want you to.

What awful news, so sorry to hear this Wilko.

When I've lost loved ones I've found in time I've found something good comes from something bad, hope this rings true for you as well.

Best wishes from Croxley Green to you and your family at this time.

Just lost my Mum. That tore me up. Still, can't imagine the pain your going through Wilko. People told me that the pain lessens over time. But will never fully leave. Take comfort in the fact that you found each other. And that she'll be with you always in your heart. I know that won't help much right now. So sorry mate.

R.I.P.

Sorry for your loss Wilko, and whilst I wanted to pen some words of comfort, struggled to find them.

Echo the sentiments of Batty, and condolences to you and your family.

my deepest condolences and best wishes at this difficult time. Take care.

RIP Mrs Wilko. Hope you hold up ok fella, all the best.

I feel for you. Pain and loss diminish with time, but never fully go. It will become more bearable with time.

Battle through it - there will be good times again eventually.

Sorry to hear the sad news for your loss.
There arent any words that will offer comfort at this time other than be strong, remember the good times, and cherish the time you had with Anitta.
May she rest in peace

So sorry to hear this news and cannot fathom how bad you must feel.
My wife is my best mate and we go everywhere together.
Please cling on to the wonderful times spent together

Take care

I am so sorry for your loss.

I don't think there are any words other than I'm sure she loved you too and only ever wanted good things for you.

Condolences and don't be a stranger, we're all cants here but I think we're mostly decent cants.

This so sadly is where the Internet reaction gets very real and close to home.

Can’t believe I’ve even read your post inasmuch as that it’s so personal and clearly and understandably heartfelt and emotive.

I’ve no idea what it would be like to lose someone so close to me so I can’t give any advice. What I can say is that it takes someone very special to write out something like this to an anonymous audience and like everyone else I can only hope you get through the pain but live with the happy memories I’m sure you both shared throughout the years.

You have my most sincere of condolences and I also hope it makes others (including myself) think twice before posting personal insults and the like.

I also hope you will get some great support from your friends and fellow posters alike and that again helps you through the difficult times, the pain and the loneliness.

I can only imagine your pain at this moment. I lost my Mum almost 2 years ago and even though it was expected (she was 98) it was a really hard time. My husband and I have been together since we were 14 and 15 years of age and have been married for almost 52 years. I dread the time when I might lose him. Sometimes I feel it would be better to go together in an accident or such like.

Your family will all be grieving at this time so spend as much time as you can with them and help each other. Time will heal, but the first 12 months are always the hardest I’m afraid.

Your football family are always here if you need to get things off your chest. I hope watching Leeds (in the Premier League!) will help a little.

So sorry for your loss, I can't even imagine how you must feel. Life is frighteningly short.

My condolences Sgt, it must be devastating.

I have no comparable experience but something my nan said to me years ago after grandad died has always stayed with me, it seemed such a beautiful way of looking at loss. She told me the pain and hurt she was feeling was just the price she had to pay for 50 years of happiness and it was a price she was happy to pay.

I wish you all the best.

That was a tough read Sgt Wilko can only imagine the pain your going through at this tough time,they say times a great healer,stay strong and remember the good times fella.

Going through a simular time myself,flying up to Glasgow tomorrow to see my dad for the last time,really scared but trying to keep strong.

Rest in peace Annita.

Awful news. So sorry for your loss.

RIP Annita.

You don't get over it, but you will get through it. It'll never get "better", but the way you think about it will change and you'll be able to focus on the joy and fond memories without being broken by the grief.

Don't even think about the time it takes to heal because there's no blueprint and everyone's experience is different. You have to embrace the grief in order to get past it.

Death is always hardest on the people who are left behind, but one coping mechanism I developed was to think about what the person would make of me wallowing in my grief and self-pity - I could always imagine a chastisement that, however briefly, would give me pause to chuckle... then I'd be sad again, but it's winning those little moments for yourself that get you there in the end.

You're not alone, so remember that.

Sincere condolences.

Sincere condolences Wilko. For all our faults, we're a caring bunch on here so when friends and family aren't to hand, don't hesitate to talk to us.
Best wishes mate.

Sorry to read off your loss. I've lost people close to me too many times, but I can't imagine the pain of losing my wife who has been there with me through all the other times. Stay strong, and talk to people about it - it's very easy to bring down the walls and push people away at a time like this.

Time does heal, I hope you can take some support with the comments written here. Take care.

Very sorry to read this Wilko, my condolences to you and your family at this difficult time. Take care and be kind to yourself.

Horrible news Sgt, my sincere condolences to your family and you and can only imagine how difficult a time this must be.

Very sorry to hear about this Wilko. Thoughts are with you and your family.
