I’m very sorry to learn of this. He’s a funny guy and is very active online usually. I love his writing.

He must be devastated. Poor guy.

my dear friends,

it is with great sadness that I must share the terrible news that Claudia Long, my wife for the past 41 years and the love of my life for the past 46, passed away peacefully in her sleep this morning.

I am in shock right now and I am numb.

thank you all for hanging in there with me. I’ll be back to writing in a few days.

I start my day reading his words every day. He has spoken often if his Love for her.
I'm sending all my Love, and hope that he can find a way to navigate his grief and find some comfort.
DAMN!!
REST IN PEACE, MRS. SPOUSE.

Getting back to a routine is often the best way to get through a life altering loss like this.

This had to have been unexpected. Mrs. Spouse will be missed. Seth Triggs left this comment that was so well said:

Wishing you peace and comfort.

RIP, Mrs. Spouse.
