    @Svahn that is a truly awful situation. I feel deeply for you and wish that I could do more to help.
    It took great courage to post that - but it was the right thing to do. I also feel for @DarkStarr who shared his personal pain. One thing that can be drawn from that - life does go on, and in time happiness can be found again.
    The outpouring of support shows what a fabulous "family" you have here. Please take care of yourself, take the time you need to grieve and heal, and know that we will be here for you at any time, and especially when you feel you can return.

    Maybe with time you will be able to revisit SotA. Hopefully, then SotA will bring fond memories and be a place of comfort.

    She's not with you to hold your hand, but she will forever hold your heart. Godspeed.

    I never met either of you, but I know what its like to lose loved ones, I wish I could give you the reassurance that the pain passes, but for me it never has, what I do focus on though is the memories, and the memories help me get through it all, also remembering that she would want you to continue on, that is what gives me the strength day to day to carry on, because I know it is what she would want. take care and dont despair too much, I dont think she would want that.

    Please take life one day at a time and try to remember all the good things. Words cannot express the feelings that we have for losing a loved one. Know that we are here for you, always.

    :(

    I don't know you or her obviously, but if I had to guess, I think she'd want you to come back eventually, and play this game; to meet new people, immerse yourself and have fun. All with her in mind. She can still be a part of this game through you.

    Sorry for your loss my friend. Hope to see you back here one day when you're ready.

    So sad to read about your loss Svahn. Take your time with friends and family.

    Maybe one day we meet in game while you explore it for both of you, looking forward to it.

    Svahn, you don't need to explain yourself to us; we are just a group of strangers you will likely never meet. Please do what you feel is best.

    For what it's worth, I am sorry to hear of your loss. It is never easy to lose someone, but all of us must die eventually. I hope your wife's passing was both quick and painless.

    All I can say is this: a life can only be measured by the impact it has had on others. That her passing has affected you so profoundly, shows that Linda led a good life. The people you should be concerned with are not random strangers, but those whose lives your wife's kindness affected. You are not alone in your suffering. Whether it be children, parents, siblings, friends or even pets, someone else needs you to be there for them right now...

    Those are sad news. My deepest condolences to you and your family members.
    Once I also lost a very good friend and it was a very hard time after, so I can only imagine how you feel.
    Time does not heal all wounds, but it least covers them. I know, its a weak consolation, but I hope you will come over the hardest time.

    That is the most awful and horrible news Svahn.
    Thank you for posting, because it makes us all realize how precious and tenuous life is.
    I hope that you return and see how your post is really important - not just to you and Linda, but to the whole world.
    An online community is behind you, and has been shocked into reality. Avatars are immortal, but the sentience behind them are fragile humans.
    This is a lesson that the rest of us must know.

    Your post and related thread are the most important ones that I have ever read.
    Condolences, and thanks

    Mina tankar går till Er & jag delar Er sorg.

    Låt oss minnas de
    soliga dagar
    då sorg och smärta
    fjärran var
    Låt oss minnas de
    glädjedagar
    då vi tillsammans var
