I'm sorry to hear that Gideon. I can't feel the pain you and your wife are feeling, but I hope you'll get better soon. I have no experience with losing a family member, but I have lost a dog before. It's not the same situation, but he was 15ish when he died, and it was a terrible feeling to find out that he died, as he was like a brother to me. Tell your wife that she has my sympathy.
