Fck me Dwight, good luck also man.

Good luck guys, puts my barstood sciatica into perspective

Just take the day as it comes, enjoy it if possible.
And very good luck to both of you.

All the best to both Beeb and Dwight.

I haven't spoken about this before on here, and probably never would if not for this post; but I lost my wife last August. She suffered a bleed on her brain completely out of the blue. She was in a coma for a week, but was unfortunately brain dead and there was nothing that could be done for her. She was just 40 years old. A am left a widower at 45, with 2 young children to raise.

I haven't mentioned this for sympathy, but more because Beeb and Dwight's circumstances relate in some way to my own experiences.

My wife was an incredibly caring and compassionate woman, always looking to help others. It was no surprise to anyone that knew her that her last act was one of kindness - she was a registered organ donor and her organs saved the lives of 3 people. Just a few weeks ago myself and our children attended a ceremony where we accepted the Order Of St John on my wife's behalf. It is something that I am extremely proud of and gives me great comfort to know that, even in death she continued to give, and impacted the lives of so many people. Dwight, fingers crossed for you that you get transplant.

As for contemplating our own mortality and the question of if there is something else after this - I have never been religious, but felt that there was perhaps something else once we pass. Following the loss of my wife, I have experienced many 'supernatural' events that I simply can't explain with logic. I feel that she has been present at certain times and also sent me messages when I've needed them. Its hard to fully explain without going into more detail, and I don't have the time right now. But I do believe that there is something else after this world.

Thanks mate.

It's been a tough year for sure, but we have 2 massive families and a huge number of friends rallying around us.
