this is the weirdest post in the history of 2+2. it almost seems like a joke. and what's even stranger is that nobody is making fun of him.

I suppose they are afraid that he's telling the truth and nobody wants to make fun of someone who just lost his wife. I agree that it looks pretty fishy.

After a long bout with breast cancer my wife has finally passed away and I can honestly say--I've never been more happy for her. An exciting time for her now. How can I be so certain you ask that she is in Heaven and not in Hell? Just trust me on this one ; ) She is a great woman and I'm confident she went where she needed to go (ie. Heaven). We both got married early on in life and she has went on pretty early too. She was a beautiful part of my life and will be missed forever. In the later stages when she was ready to go she was just talking about her faith and it was really just such an emotionally powerful experience. I felt really fortunate to be right there beside her. Really late on as her breathing and movements became more fragile and it had spread to the bone I can honestly say I've never been more attracted to her in her and my life. I'll cherish them forever. If you have the time (and even if you don't) say a quick prayer for her! I love you Amy! - Jake : )

Beat: Now will have to make funeral arrangements...something I am not looking forward too at this point in time. Also no more watching Friends and eating that wonderful chicken spaghetti!
BRAG: Wife no longer in pain and in the best place there is to be. I truly envy her.

I am glad that your wife's suffering has come to an end.

I rarely touch posts that offend me, but this post was so touching while equally disturbing, that I felt a strong need put my thoughts in writing.

I can't comprehend why you would make this post. I believe in celebrating the lives of people who have died, but your choice of forum/tactic seems wrong to me. Did you feel that this needed to be controversial to get people to read it? Why would you pick you title "HUGE BRAG: Wife Now In Heaven," or chose the bolded words for any reason other than the shock value. In a forum like BBV, this seems to be asking for negativity in a serious topic, effectively drawing the focus from your wife to your religion.

Good for you on having a positive viewpoint on all this. I have to point out though that a lot of the posters on 2p2 are atheists, and therefore don't want to appear like douches but are still thinking "heaven" psshhhhh

True, but as long as he isn't pushing his beliefs on me, I'm fine with it. We all have to do what we need to in order to cope. If this belief does it for the OP, good for him.

[plzleenowhammy]

OP,
my deepest condolences. Like others said, I cannot decide whether to congratulate or be sad. However, I hope that you are able to move on from this experience. I wish you the best.
