When he said I still love her that really pulled at my heartstrings. That's absolutely beautiful, he's overwhelmed with emotion. What a special and precious moment for him.

ahhww gosh, I think my heart got broken and felt happy at the same time by reading this..

Mindless_Beat1310

His statement, "I still love her," truly touched my emotions. That is really lovely.


blackcherry333

I would count myself so fucking fortunate if I found a man that loved me as much a he loves her. So so sweet.

That's when the tears came for me.

Why do people record and post this type of stuff online?


OldInterview6006

Because with all the terrible shit we’re inundated with daily it’s nice to see that there’s a lot of good and love in the world. Fuck off back to your cave.

It's painful to see that you can only see your wife through a mere picture or ai generated picture.


TrippyShamann

Reminds me of this quote about grief. “Grief is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.” -Jamie Anderson Another good one on this topic is Ram Das: “I encourage you to make peace with death. To see it as the culminating adventure of this adventure called life. It is not an error. It is not a failure. It is taking off a tight shoe which you have worn well. But those that find the way in the morning can gladly die in the evening, it is said in the mystical literature.” And this one by Ghandi reminds me to: “Whatever you do in life will be insignificant but it is very important that you do it because you can't know. You can't ever really know the meaning of your life. And you don't need to. Every life has a meaning, whether it lasts one hundred years or one hundred seconds. Every life, and every death, changes the world in its own way. You can't know. So don't take it for granted. But don't take it too seriously. Don't postpone what you want. Don't leave anything misunderstood. Make sure the people you care about know. Make sure they know how you really feel. Because just like that...It could end.” And the one that breaks my heart the most and reminds me to take more pictures is Rose in the movie Titanic: “I don't even have a picture of him. He exists now only in my memory”

I was just thinking this, too. The writer of that line in that marvel movie should be proud. That one will be quoted for a long time.

"I still love her..." 😭


FluffyDiscipline

OMG so sweet but heartbreaking how much he must miss her... "I still love her"


Head-like-a-carp

My parents were married 53 years. When my father passed away I soon came to realize there was a hole in my mother's life that would never be filled. 3 days before he died he told me mom's watch band was broken and if I could get it fixed because he could not do it. He knew he was on his way out but he still wanted to be useful for his wife. He kind of gets me everytime I think about it and that was 25 years ago.


fmkwjr

When I was younger, a friend of mine’s 94 year old great grandmother told me that the one thing she didn’t expect about staying healthy and getting old was the tremendous amount of loss you have to endure towards the end as you lose all of your friends, siblings... I felt like that shook me, and videos like this remind me of that conversation.


lexi_raptor

I was just talking to my husband about something like this. My great-grandmother made it to 98, but she ended up with stomach ulcers. She told the doctors she just wanted to be made comfortable, that she was ready to go. My great-gpa passed away in the 80's so she had already been without him for over 20 years, I 100% understood her decision.


banana_pencil

My grandfather died 40 years ago, and on every holiday morning, my grandmother goes into a room that has his picture on the wall to be alone for 3-4 hours.


70ms

My mom is 89 and she’s almost the only one left. Her only sister, her cousins, most of her friends, they’re all gone… I feel so bad for her, especially because mentally she’s still very sharp. :(


AxecidentalHoe

I help take care of my grandma and it’s been eerie as all of her friends have died this year. Every morning I use to walk to the bathroom hearing her and her friend having their daily phone call. Then it just suddenly ended


BrokenXeno

My wife is my best friend too. I can only hope I die first.


Frankie_Says_Reddit

This is my biggest fear…my wife passing before I do.


Seansy82

My Dad never really recovered after Mum passed away. He couldn’t process the grief and other things he went through. It ended up making him weaker. He passed away five and a half years ago. If it happens to you, please just talk about it to people? Process whatever it is. I am now in my early 40’s without both parents and my kids will never know what it’s like to have grand parents on my side. I miss them.


BrokenXeno

Dude, you and me both. I do not think I could live without her. And not because she does everything, we are an awesome team and both do a lot around the house and with work and the kids. But I would just not be able to function, she's like my ultimate security blanket. What a horrendous nightmare that would be.


yportnemumixam

I hear you but I don’t want her to suffer from us being apart…if she dies first she won’t have to. I’d rather suffer than have her suffer. Best case: we die together peacefully holding hands.


AllPotatoesGone

Both options are tragic. Copying with the death of your best friend and wife or let your best friend and wife handle it. I just try to see it as a great adventure that has to come to end some day. Best series, movies, games and books have to end somehow. They wouldn't be that great without the last period at the very end.


BrokenXeno

I sent my wife a ss of this conversation and she replied "we are going to die at the same time." Lol


CavediverNY

My wife passed away 5 1/2 years ago. 20 year relationship really great marriage, and her death was very very unexpected. It also happened incredibly quickly, in a matter of days, and neither one of us had any time to prepare for it. I wasn’t suicidal, except for perhaps one or two very low points in the first year, but to this day I will tell friends and therapists “I just wish we had gone together. It seems fair, and correct, that it would’ve happened that way“. I’ve always been a worrier and my wife was not. When I would bring this topic up she’d say “we’re both going to be in some nursing home laying in two separate beds next to each other… One of us is going to die and they’re going to wheel that person out of the room and whoever’s left won’t even notice”! So it’s a tough question to answer, is it better to go first or not. It doesn’t really matter what you think because you don’t have that control, but I believe that my wife would have handled my passing in a much more healthy way than I handled her passing. Still, the thought of her being alone just destroys me. I’m grateful that she didn’t suffer, and selfishly I’m grateful that I didn’t have to sit by her bedside for months or years watching a slow decline. That would’ve been really difficult on both of us of course.

False_Chair_610

You just have to be the type of wife Lola was.


Bubblefingers007

Others might see this as a diss, but that’s actually some good advice.


False_Chair_610

It wasn't meant to be, but women like Lola seemed to be are extremely rare nowadays.


fatblackcats

There it is


DananSan

lmao


dingleberrysniffer69

We almost had it.


Conscious_Cat_5880

Women like Lola? Did you know her? No. Have you spoken to this man to know what it was he loved about her or what her traits were? No. How do you know women like Lola are rare? You don't. Because you don't actually spend much time talking to or meeting people.


Doin_the_Bulldance

LOLA WAS A GODDESS YOU FIEND


Conscious_Cat_5880

I'm sure she was, the love this man has for her is so evident of that! I only took issue with saying that such women (but people in general) and such love is rare. They aren't and it isn't, it just has be built over a lifetime together of understanding, compromise, care and patience.


False_Chair_610

Nope that's why I said "seemed to be." I'm basing this on the way he seems to think about her.

incel always comes out lol

pimplepete1312

Narrow_Ad1274

FivePoopMacaroni

Just gotta head back in time to when you had less rights and basically zero visibility into the broader world, creating a lived experience where you are socially pressured to marry young and taught that divorce is a sin making you forced to work through all the hard times together instead of just splitting up.


Own-Philosophy-5356

You must be fun at parties


Conscious_Cat_5880

They probably are. You know why? Because they are capable of more than surface level thinking. Unlike yourself, repeating a decade old dig because you lack originality.

“I still love her.” My heart.

This didn’t make me smile. No way. I can only Imagine how much he misses her and how sad he is that she’s not with him anymore


banana_pencil

Me too, I’m sad now


friendlyneighbourho

It is gruesome to me this is posted for the world to see, can nobody have a personal and private moment anymore without some clown putting it on social media? Cool technology, happy for him. But man fuck this shit.


be_sugary

I think this is torture.


realmofconfusion

His reaction is lovely, and I’m glad they were able to do this for him, but I really hope they asked him for permission to do this before showing it to him. Suddenly seeing an image that’s only ever been a still photograph of someone so loved, right in front of you moving as if in a video and “alive” could be an overwhelming shock to someone of his advanced years.


talks-a-lot

I've seen this episode of Black Mirror. It does not end well


Frankie_Says_Reddit

Man, idk how I feel about this. I feel like he lost her twice now.


Impressive_Economy70

No thanks. Don’t want this.


Pandataraxia

This is litteraly a black mirror episode I was so sure reddit was gonna be ontop of it. instead people are... loving it?


Mementominnie

Not sure about this, not sure at all.Spooky.


TurkLikesFood

It makes you wonder if that's a good thing to do. I don't think so given how shook he got.


mymumsaysno

I would say this was a nice moment, except that it was done for social media clout. "Can you cry a bit more gramps? People are gonna love this"


LVDave

Boy you ARE cynical.. I doubt it was done solely for "social media clout".. Is it so hard to believe that some family member did this simply because they loved their grandfather??


mymumsaysno

No, it's not, but if that were the case, then I wonder why we"re seeing it? You're right though, I am horribly cynical.


strangeishthings

I don’t know what’s more disconcerting..the implications of such tech or that only one person had a critical response to this..


RoadDifferent4617

Reading everyone's sweet comments makes this doubly heartbreaking

Why does it matter that he is a ww2 veteran?


OB1Benobie

Coming from a man, that feeling is the best feeling in the world. You can't match that feeling. That type of love is eternal and shall remain unbreakable. I'd be lying if I didn't say that it brought tears to my eyes. It has touched emotions you never thought existed within yourself. The way he looked at that photograph is the same way I look at my wife. I wouldn't know what to do with myself had I lost her in any manner. It's beautiful and sad at the same time. Damn it, I promised myself I wouldn't cry. 😥

Gumsflappingsexually

Horrifying. As kind a gesture as this may appear, all it's done is animate a still frame. Creating an illusion of humanity for a temporary moment of bliss, before the reminder that they're gone crashes down. Those we've lost deserve better than this cold puppetry.


[deleted]

You’re shaming people for experiencing normal emotions. What you’re talking about is a phrase called “after laughter”, & it means you can’t have eternal happiness/sadness.


LVDave

I know precisely how he feels.. I lost my wife of 35 years to Covid in 2020. Not a day goes by that I don't miss her, even though I KNOW she is in a FAR FAR better place AND that I WILL be with her again when I leave this world. I know where you can generate a moving picture from a still picture like that, and I'm going to do one of my wife.. God Bless the WW2 vet!!!
