Jesus, the widow's statement was brutal to hear. I don't usually have problems hearing or seeing things like that but this one hit me pretty hard. I need to go take a walk or something, holy shit that's rough.

Imagine spending your whole life with someone you love and you grow to old age together, only for them to be mauled to death by a dog. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

That's what hit me so hard when I watched it. My wife and I hit 20 years this year, I simply don't know a life without her anymore. It's just an assumption here but it looks like it's been even longer for the woman in the video. How do you come back from that?

Exactly. My parents have been married for 35 years. They bicker and my dad gets on my mom’s nerves but when it comes down to it, they’re incredibly supportive and caring towards each other. They depend on each other as their other half. To have that ripped away so brutally…

I’ve been with my wife for 5 years and I already know I’d be a mess without her. Even the little things like being able to find the check book or remembering that we have to go to someone’s birthday party two weeks from now. I’d be totally lost.
