In Memory of My Wife, Elise Cawley, with Thanks for 36 Wonderful Years

An amazingly detailed tribute, you'd have to think this was taken from a journal, in which case it's impressive to keep such a record of their life, or maybe Stephen just has a fantastic memory.

Even through that detail you can really feel how much he loved and admired her.

> Somehow in the shock of what has happened it feels as if I just met Elise, and now she is gone.

Time's cruelty is making the wonderful feel shorter than the painful.

> My only solace in this tragedy is that the end came instantly, after a day filled with nothing but joy.

Hopefully we're all lucky enough to be allowed to rest without suffering and surrounded by our loved ones.

It's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all, but, god damn does it still hurt to move through that loss. I'm glad it was fast and painless for her and her family.

Beautifully written. My condolences and wish you all the best!

What a beautiful tribute.

Sorry for his loss, and for everybody helped by her in any way. However ineffective a comment like this is

It's a profound thing to lose someone that intertwined in your life. I should know.

I am so sorry for your loss. This is a beautiful and touching tribute and she was lucky to have such a loving husband.

You can feel his love for her. Heartbreaking.

This is a lovely and heartfelt tribute. Thanks for sharing this.

That's neat that she designed their house. When I've seen videos of Wolfram in his house I've always thought it looked an awesome high-class place.

Beautiful tribute. Perhaps a reminder to self to write my own version prior to our passing. Such misfortune to be taken so young.

Wonderful tribute.
