She lost her battle with cancer about the time wife won hers.

In the spring of 2015, I nearly lost my bride to gastric
cancer. She had this cancer most of our
married life. Gastric cancer, in our
case, was a slow burner. It took nearly
20 years to catch fire. When I would
question my wife about its progress, she assured me it was not a problem, their
became a time when she came to me and said it was now a problem. She had been given six months to live. She chose no chemotherapy or x-ray treatments. She wanted to keep this private in our
family. To use this time to build
memories for her children to carry the remainder of their days. I was filled with anger and rage and
shame. So many confusing thoughts and
memories. The comfort God offered me, was the poetry. This is a gift I adore
yet never desired to form.
I feel the pain and suffering and joy in your post. I wonder what gifts God has given with you as
you have traveled this journey and felt this pain. I don’t think God gave my wife cancer to develop
my poetry. I could not worship a God who
was so cruel. I feel that he offered me this
give a gift, to help support, my journey.
I nearly ended my life one day when the pain was too much. I am glad I did not and I see the joy my wife
and I know enjoy with her recovery.
You may ask how this cure was possible and I have no explanation. Like the miracle of Jesus curing a man blindness
with mud, her cancer was cured with an herbal recipe, that has never worked
since. But this I am grateful for, her
health and the gift of the poetry.
May I then share this poem with you about the experience, in
hope that you may discover the gifts god offered you with your longing a desire
to be the ones who are gone.
