Hi everyone.

I will need all your prayers and thoughts. My wife, Karen, aka Kar7773 aka KDP333 aka Britney, passed away suddenly last night. I came home from work at 4:15 this morning and found her lying on the floor. She either had a heart attack or blood clot problems.

Either way, please remember me in your thoughts and prayers.

Jelp 01

Jelp01,

Please accept my heartfelt sadness at your sudden loss. Like Methos, I had enjoyed her recent poem "Getting Older and Wiser" on wordparade.com.

I can't imagine the shock you must be experiencing. May kind and loving friends and God's grace enfold you in the coming days.

Stay in touch here, okay?

Thank you all so much for all your kind words. So far I'm muddling through all right, having been surrounded here by family and friends all day, and by my AnswerPool friends as well. You can't imagine what a wonderful feeling it is knowing I have such wonderful friends to help through such a difficult time. I wish I could reach out and hug each of you individually, but this will have to do: (((((((group hug)))))))

Thank you so much each and every one of you.

Jelp, I am sitting here dazed and in a state of shock after stumbling across this post. I only wished I had seen it yesterday. No words can express my sorrow for you and your family. While we may not have had much interaction with each other on these message boards we belong to what I like to consider a "special group of friends". This group seems to come together for members in time of happiness and sorrow. And please consider me as part of this group who is here for you when you need to talk. You can always reach me via e-mail. You are in my prayers...

Jeff,
I am devastated to hear this. I am so sorry.

I know from reading Karen's posts what a kind, uplifting personality she had.
She contributed much to the world with her willingness to help and encourage others.
I enjoyed hearing about how you and she met, and married just over a year ago.
Your love-story was an inspiration to me, and it couldn't have happened to two nicer people.

I am so sorry she has passed unexpectedly.
Although I wish it could have continued longer, I am comforted that she spent the last year or two being happy and in love, enjoying marriage with you.
I know Karen had a strong belief in God, and I hope
that will comfort you to know you will see her again.

I'll be thinking of you.
Please let me know how you're doing.

Sue

Jeff --

I haven't been on Answerpool for awhile and was shocked to learn of Karen's untimely passing.

My heart aches for you and I'm at a loss for words.

You're both in my prayers. Be strong and find comfort in the incredible love you both shared.

The world has lost a beautiful person but heaven has gained a beautiful soul.

Jelp, what an awful, awful thing to happen, you must be just devastated. My heart aches for you. Remember we are here to stand with you. If you ever feel the need to talk about your wife (and who wouldn't? But many people are uncomfortable listening) my address is in my profile and I have lots of time to listen. When my husband died suddenly, I wanted to talk about him but even his mother turned me off.

I'm here. May God bless you and bring you comfort. Remember He said, "We grieve, but not like those who have no hope."

A light in heaven shines today;
a light on earth is dim;
a friend I never knew has passed
and found her home with Him

I sorrow for the one whose heart
is left alone, and so,
I am sore and grieving yet
for one I did not know

Requiescat in Pace, Karen

A big thank you for all your prayers, cards, messages, and general shows of support. They have all helped to make a very difficult time much easier to handle. I'm getting along fine, slowly getting back into a routine, and will still need everyone's prayers. The more shoulders to help me bear this, the easier. Thanks so much!!!!
