It is with a heavy heart that I have to let you all know the doctors can’t do anything more for my beautiful wife. She had a massive stroke on Saturday night (on top of the massive aneurysm on Friday night) and we have decided to remove her air tube on Wednesday morning.

 

This has taught me so much. First, how much I truly loved and depended on my wife. Second, how precious life is. Third, don’t say, do, or have actions that you might regret. Fourth, football is just a game.

 

We all love the Bills and have different ways that we think they need to go, but in the end, none of it matters. Hold tight the ones you love. Don’t sweat financial issues, stay close to your spouse, and just flat out do the very best you can.

 

With love…Scott and Jill Whorley

 

I'm so sorry for your loss.  I wish there was something I could say to comfort you, but I don't think those words exist.

Thinking of you today Scott. I can’t offer any words that will be of help during this time, but if I have learned anything about this community is that we hold each other up when it matters. Bills Mafia will do our part to keep her memory alive, and we are here if you need anything. 
 

You’ll find each other again somewhere in time.

This isn’t about me, but it sums up how I feel here. We got this from a friend of ours who happens to be a priest after our son died unexpectedly. I think it’s beautiful, and true. 

 

 

We seem to give Michael back to you, dear Lord. You gave him to us.

But just as you did not lose him in giving, neither do we lose him in returning him to you.

You do not give things in the way the world gives.

What you give, you do not take away.

You have taught us that what is yours is ours also, if we are yours.

Life is eternal, Lord, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon,

and a horizon is nothing but the limits of our sight.

Lift us up, strong Son of God, that we might see farther.

Cleanse our eyes, that we may see more clearly.

Draw us closer to you, O Lord, that we may find ourselves closer to our loved ones who are with you.

And while you prepare a place for them, prepare us also for that heavenly place, where you are, and Michael is,

and where we hope to be forever. Amen.

My condolences to your family.

 

Long term, please consider family/individual counseling to help navigate this, especially for children, but for you, too. I raised two kids myself from ages 7 and 11. I did the best I could, but there are things I couldn't 'see' that they needed more help than what I could provide alone. They are adults now, and are both doing well, but they went through some hard times that could have been better with some professional assistance.

Just got off the phone with Gift of Life. They said everything went “amazing” last night. Because of Jill, 5 people now have hope. This trajedy has a happy outcome for so many others. She was a special person. 
 

If you are not an organ donor right now, please consider it. I wasn’t, but will be after this. The thought that my wife’s heart is still beating is such a HUGE step in this healing process. 
 

God bless all of you.

You are generous and amazing.

 

And your wife truly was a special person, who chose a special spouse.

Thank You for saying that. I didn’t always show it, or act like it, but I loved her. Dealing with a lot of remorse that it took this to realize some of these things

We are all human, and we do our best. That’s all any of us can do. She is at peace now, and I hope you can find peace as well. Instead of remorse, try to turn it into enlightenment. That way there is more good to come of this tragic event, like the people who will benefit from the donated organs.

Just became one this year! Bless you and your family through this terrible time. She must have been an angel on earth for all the love you've showed for her.

Scott, You're willingness to share this tragic journey with all of us has been beyond impressive. It's clear that your wonderful wife had a tremendous influence on who you are today. Please take some solice that this gift will stay with you forever and continue to provide you the strength you will need in the coming months. It's so uplifting to know that there has been something positive to come from such a sad event.
