My wife and I lost a 28-year-old daughter, Allana, last year to cancer. Maybe my heart is partially made of stone as I see her riding a gold chariot exploring the universe, and I celebrate her short life. My wife has severe PTSD. Irony is I have helped many people with PTSD, but I can't and don't know how to help my wife. Unfortunately, not everyone who has PTSD will heal because the chain linking the person to the trauma is too strong to be broken. Out of the blue I told her today to buy a couple puppies. Perhaps they will help her somewhat by making the world less cruel.

For those in the know, perhaps you can tell me what the future might look like for us. I am done grieving, but my wife has a large hole in her heart. I have lost a daughter and my wife as well in a sense. Her situation is WIP thus I do not have a reservoir of wisdom to guide us. I do a lot of life support chores for her. I am an excellent cook, so I am her Iron Chef. I try hard to please her with good dinners. I am fortunate that I am retired thus I have the time and energy to keep the household moving forward. However, I am at a loss on how to help her emotionally and mentally. I would appreciate if anyone can paint the way of ahead with candor. I wish I had the power to right every wrong in the world.

When I listen to this song, I imagine Allana riding in a gold chariot discovering the wonders of the universe without limitations. Waiting for her loved ones to cross the bridge in order to be with her so she will never be alone again.

Thank you for the feedback. Perhaps something will click and illuminate the path we must take.
