It was great to have Art Bell back last night! Though I wish the circumstances of his return were happier.
He was brutally honest about Ramona's death and how he felt. I admit I cried through much of the first hour, not so much for Ramona, who I am sure is at peace and in a wonderful place, but for Art. In a sense though, Art and Ramona's story is a happy one because they were two people who were very much in love and very happy even after 15 years. So they both got 15 years of happiness and I know even with the sadness Art is suffering he is probably glad he had those 15 years. Yes, like the old saying "better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all." I am sure there are a lot of people out there that will never get 15 years of being that in love and happy, so in a sense both Art and Ramona are very lucky people. I have always known Art's deep love for Ramona and obviously she felt the same way. Any woman who wants her and her husbands wedding band fused into a eternity symbol and buried with her must really love her husband. I think that is really beautiful! Art need only remember that during his sad times to know he is a very blessed man to have been loved so much.

Art, in sharing his feelings with us in last nights program, triggered my own memories of a love lost, and I had to turn the radio off. I'm sure last nights program is distand to become a C2C classic and one of Art's best, but I will guess many people like myself were unable to continue listening do to emotional issues. Time doe's not erase the hurt, but in each his on way excepts that which we can not change.
I am sorry to hear that. You are right time doesn't erase hurt, it only makes it easier to live with the hurt.
It was a very sad -- and surprising -- thing to listen to last night. I was astounded at Art's mood; I cried too, and I know we all respond to tragic, grief driven events in our lives in different ways. I just kept thinking to myself how I think I would be if it were me; if my husband died suddenly like that; I'd be catatonic. Very moving and as you say, sad and sweet.
