I lost my wife yesterday.

My condolences man.

may she rest in peace and may you find peace and happiness going forward. I only know you through the boxing forum and your many anecdotes and pictures. You seem like a real dude and a solid guy.
I can only assume she was as cool a woman as you are a man.

my heart goes out to you both
 
Man, this is outpouring of support from so many people is great to see. It hope you find some comfort in it. You got a lot of people pulling for you.
 
She's gone. She passed away in her sleep for no apparent reason in the wee hours of the morning & I'm in total shock. I'm completely & utterly devastated. And I hurt so bad that it's even painful to breathe. Fuck, I don't even want to draw my next breath without her.

I'm posting here as a means to vent & to reach out because I'm totally alone here in Arizona. I've reached out to family, of course, but I still haven't notified her friends via phone or Facebook yet because I just can't face crying anymore. But I still need to distract myself from the emptiness & silence of this house. So, I've got the television on loud & I'm composing this as my heart lies shattered in my chest.

God, I loved her so much, guys. I mean, I think it was pretty obvious by how much I mentioned her & posted about her here. But you'd have to multiply that many times over to grasp how much I really loved her. And now, she's gone.

I won't know what happened to her until sometime Monday. Right now, I haven't got a clue. She was so young & so fit other than a couple of lingering issues from her tough battle with COVID last summer. She still experienced bouts of fatigue & she occasionally got a rattle in her lungs that she never dealt with before COVID. But other than that her doctor said she was in excellent health. None of this makes sense.

As I sit here alone all I can think of is how much I wish I had held her & told her I loved her even more often than I did. So, please, everyone. Take advantage of every moment that you can with your loved ones & be sure that you let them know how much you love them because time can be so damned short.

Rest in peace, my beloved wife, Jana. You were my life, baby & I don't want to go on without you.

RIP
 
The words always sound so inadequate but I am so very sorry for your loss.
 
Im hurting for you Big Bro, you were always helping me out with my depression giving me positive advice telling me to look at the bright side. I remember I told you about my break up before I joined sherdog years ago and you telling me how you met your young wife and how you guys were so close and to never be scared to love just cause someone betrayed you.

Just like you were here for many of us and gave me advice when I hit you up, we are here for you brother.

Yeah, he’s a really good guy. Even among the thousands of people on this forum, and already knowing that about him, I am always surprised by his candor and caring responses.

I have been struggling for the words, but there just aren't any. I am so sorry. You are a such great guy and this unimaginable nightmare is so profoundly unfair I can't even begin to think about it.

It is truly sobering to hear of this tragedy. You are one of my very favourite Sherbros and this is absolutely heartbreaking. Just know that I will be here if you ever need someone to talk to. My deepest condolences.
 
Sorry for the loss.
I'm sure she is in a better place.
<{dayum}>
 
My condolence, I meant to write sooner but I keep thinking what I should say to make this better. However I will remember how you mentioned that Jana worked with fighters and she was a friend of Colin Oyama and that even rampage was super respectful with her.

She was an OG in MMA and was deeply respected and loved among fighters and MMA personal. This is what I think when I hear about her.

I don't know if writing this helps because I cannot fathom what you are going through. I am here if you want to PM me and so are many folks here in this forum.
 
Sorry for your loss dude, we all know how much you loved her from your posts. Like others have said she will be waiting for you in heaven.
 
Fuck man.. I am so sorry. I cannot begin to understand how you feel. Hugging all my loved ones today extra tight.
 
Im sorry to hear that man. Sometimes I dont appreciate my wife and all the positive changes that she made possible in me. Sometimes I fight her and confront her (emotionally not physically) because I feel she doesnt change to make our relationship work better, maybe I just expect her to be like me and thats wrong. It was precisely because shes not like me that I changed for the better. Im an ass.

Im sorry about your wife man, please find peace in remembering and honoring her, your post definitely made a positive change in me today. Best of luck brother!
 
That's awful news, I'm very sorry about your loss. Try to remember the good times with her, and continue to live your life in a way that would have made her proud.
 
My God brother I'm devistated reading this and can't imagine how you feel or even what to say. My deepest condolences. I've followed your adventures out there since I think my brother and you both got married at the niagara falls JP either the same day or the next day. Even crazier you and him were both moving to Arizona after the marriage. I'm so sorry this has happened to you. It's not fair. It's not right man. I hope you find someone or some way to to help make it through this.
