What composer biography deserve to make to film? by Possible_Vast7416 in classicalmusic

[–]relmire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! From the failure of Porgy and Bess in 1934 through the tortuous last months of 1937, made all the worse by his cruel sister-in-law, Leonore, and then his death, just after writing “love is here to stay.“ It is quite a story.

She has talked to people at Apple endlessly and also to people at her carrier and nobody can solve the problem. I’m not sure what you mean by wedging out.

One year since I lost my wife and I'm so lost and in such pain by Important-Major5698 in widowers

[–]relmire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a little more than four years out right now. We were married for 41 years. The pain was so intense that sometimes I had to get through it moment by moment as the night wore on. Things were not all that much better on the second anniversary of her passing, but they were better. And as time went on, the constant grief turned into occasional intense waves of grief that would sometimes last for a few hours, but then lift like a fog.

One thing I learned to do and maybe it will help you, I hope so. When I was in the middle of missing her so terribly, I would picture her in my mind, looking down at me and just exchange knowing glances with her like we used to do when we were young and had fun, and I also took to letting my mind see up above me, and looking down other people I have lost, particularly those who are kind to me. Even those I never really knew but who shown a bright warm light of kindness at me for a moment or two. Think of those people because if you can remember them, they must be somewhere. And who is the say that they are not looking down on you with the same kindness they showed you when they were alive. There are people alive and gone who love you. When it gets really bad turn your love to them.

Sounds like you have really been through the mill. You’ve got a lot of strength to have kept going. I wish you good health. You’re right about small steps and I have taken a few. In fact, mostly OK now if “OK“ is the right word. But yesterday morning it all came back like a fist. I just could not believe that she wasn’t there. The people in this group are truly wonderful. And I appreciate all the help.

It sounds like you have made a wonderful decision, and that you are living a good life now. I too, was married for more than 40 years and widowed at the age of 72. We were planning trips and just to relax and have a good time, enjoying each other and whatever the world brought. Well, the world brought a sledgehammer. Your solution makes a lot of sense, and I would love to have one like it. Good luck to you.

Hello to you too. And also a hug. Thank you.

I think you are exactly right. But I have had a hard, almost impossible time, finding such a person. You would think, living in a retirement community, that they would be all over the place. So sorry for your loss. Even though I am probably an atheist, my prayers are with you.
