It's not a secret that I am agnostic on matters spiritual but it will not breach my sense of principle if I ask for those of my friends and fellow disputants here at MT to spare a moment of good wishes or prayers for my missus, her sister and mother.

My father-in-law passed away in the early hours of this morning after an illness of some weeks. It was a shock as he seemed to be recovering but just 'switched off' in his sleep at about two this morning.

My lady is coping by hiding from it in dealing with all the unpleasant bureaucratic and legal matters but it breaks my heart to see the pain in her eyes that I can do nothing to ameliorate.

Whatever I can offer that may be accepted is what you have from me, friend. Sincerest sympathy for you and your family.

Mark, I'll certainly be sending up prayers for your missus and her family but for you as well. When we love someone as obviously as you love your missus the role of being the shoulder to cry on can be a heavy one. My condolences, my friend.

Sukerkin, the fact that you are asking and feel so helpless is a sign that you are there for her and will be what she needs. Sometimes, simply being there is the best thing.

My heart, my prayers, and good wishes sent your way for all of you!

I am touched by your words, my friends.

I've said before that just because we know each other via the Web rather than in the flesh, the connections our emotions make are none the lesser for it.

My lady is sleeping now (at last!) so I get to be weak and shed a few tears of my own for the passing of a man I had not yet gotten to know as deeply as I wished.

Crying is one of fthe best cures we have. :asian:

Mark, my sincere best wishes, condolences, and heart-felt prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Death is a sad and unwelcome guest that, unfortunately, visits every life, and all too often. For whatever small comfort it may bring, may you be aware tonight that you are not facing it alone.
