Can I ever stand to listen to our system again

My condolences to a fellow Audiogonner. Please remember, music is one of the ways that will heal the heart and soothes your soul. Your wife will definitely want you to continue this hobby which the both of you enjoyed together.

Keep listening and this will help you cherrish the moments you have spent together.

Karel,
I am sorry for your great loss.
May you gain added strength from all the sympathetic postings by everyone. You are in all our thoughts as you go forward, and one way to honor the memory of your beloved wife is to enjoy what you both shared together.
Slowly, at first, and then more over time, I hope you can listen for both of you.
Your extended audio family is always as near as an email when you want to reach for support from an understanding bunch.

Imagine if you had fought over every purchase and never got to say you are sorry.
Soon you will be able to play her favorite peice of music and smile.

My sister died this spring. I drive by her house on the way to work. Her car is parked there. At first her absence will make you sad. Eventually her memory will make you happy.
Godspeed.

My sincere sympathies. It sounds as if you shared a passion for music with your wife, and cherished your time together. May your family, friends, good memories, and music bring you some peace.

I believe your wife would want for you to honor her memory by enjoyment of the music you shared. Perhaps not in the near future but at some point in time. My sincere condolences for your loss.

Best,

Paul
