DG, I am thinking of you, and my prayer today is that you will find some small sweet comfort amid what you are going through, and that you will put yourself in God's hands to find the strength He will provide you for today. Just for today; tomorrow will take care of itself, my friend.
Thank you for posting the picture of your wife. She was a lovely lady indeed, and the expression on her face tells me that she was indulging you taking her picture, and I get that she did so because she loved and appreciated you.

I thank you all
It's been quite the shock. I'm doing OK all considering. My sister flew in yesterday and helped me get a game plan for the arrangements.
Other friends and my good neighbors have offered their help and I've been a little busy with them. Dang, I really didn't know how many people she touched. She was quite the social butterfly.
The worst was calling her Mom. She don't speak good english. Thankfully she has an old friend that has lived in the states and can translate the details. It's been really hard on Mams.
With all of the other stuff going on my wife and I talked about this (just didn't expect it to go this way) and really feel that once were gone from our bodies "who cares, we're dead and the body is just a body." so I'm gonna go ahead and have her cremated.
What to do with her ashes?
Once again read the above quote.
So..... To make her mom happy I'm gonna take her remains to Germany and place them with her Pops. Her mom will keep the sight in flowers and candles for the rest of her days. Then we'll put her there as well. It made her happy to hear my plans.
I'll have a few small parties here for her as I can get friends together and another in Germany when I can get there. I wish I could go sooner but it might take as much as a year to fix all of the finances.
I've never talked on the phone so much as in the last few days. Her FB account is going nuts but most is in German so I'll wait for her childhood friend to call me again to sort that all out. She's a sweetheart and is always welcome here.
Then there's all of the legal matters to get sorted.
I look around our home and realize how much she added to making it hers. She always took care of the inside I take care of the outside. Guess I gotta learn how to use a vacuum.
Here's another pic that you guys might like. Dang, I miss her so much. She was my best friend and the love of my life.

Sorry for your loss.
Take what peace you can from a life well lived, a fight well fought, the memories she leaves with you and others, and that she is at peace herself now. Honor her with the tribute you have described, and by living your life as she would expect you to.
Pick up one foot, put it in front of the other, and fake it 'til you make it as a friend of mine says.

Words ring hollow in times like this, but I'm very, very sorry for your loss. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers and I wish you strength and comfort as you make your way forward. Hang in there, and please let me know if there is anything I can do to help ease your burden. God bless.

Sorry for your loss.
I almost lost my wife to kidney failure and heart complications in July. I can't even imagine how much worse it is to lose your wife. I wish I had words to help. We will keep you in our prayers...now and down the road.
I see a lot in that pic. She looks like someone with a great sense of humor and a great personality and kind of on the playful side. I'm so sad for you tonight and my prayers for your comfort in the hours, days, weeks, months and years ahead will continue. God bless............

I have no words, The peace of God be with you.
Condolences and prayers.
God Bless. I went through a spell of family and friends dropping left and right. I really stood in awe of what I was witnessing. It was the end of my life as I knew it although it wasn't the end of my life. Keep your head up buddy I did. I still miss them all and remember the good times I spent with them. Many Prayers with you and yours.
