I'm hoping that someone here can point me to some scripture that will guide and/or assist me with a "life problem" I have.

I hope not to get into too much detail here but my wife and I have been married for 47 years. She is 75 and because of a number of incapacitating illnesses, lives in a nearby nursing home and has been there for over seven years. She is, thank God, pretty stable and not so demented that she DOES enjoy my daily visits with her. I visit her every day for 3-4 hours.

The "problem" I have is severe lonliness in her absence from my life! I have often said that life is a "card game" with God as the dealer. We must play the cards that he deals us in the best way we know how.

But that doesn't prevent me from sometimes getting angry at the severity of our situation. I periodically cry myself to sleep, even after all these years, for missing her so!

I'm hoping that someone on The Highway can direct me to some counselling, consoling and tutoring scripture that might help me to deal with this terrible loss of my life's partner.

I hope y'all won't think I'm silly for making this post!
