my wife passed away Tuesday morning
The Bible has some uplifting words of encouragement for those whose loved ones have passed away.
The fact that God wants us to view the death of one of his saints as a joyful occasion doesn't mean we shouldn't feel loss and avoid grieving. We still need to work our way through the grieving process in a mentally and spiritually healthy way.
Here's a few words that i thought you would like to read. I'll be praying for you.
Psalm 116:15
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
Revelation 14:13
Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on."
"Yes," says the Spirit, "they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them."
The Coming of the Lord - 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words.

She was so lucky to have you and you were so lucky to have her. Especially through everything you both have been through. Know that your memories of her will keep her alive, and that so many people are praying for you. She is in a better place now.
I think i can say this from everyone in the scion family that we are all sad to here of such a thing and may all our hearts and prayers reach you and your family for going through such a hard time.
