     Hello all again. I am reminding everybody that life has gone on for us here in Toledo, Ohio. The late Keith Dressel's wife gave her first interview since Keith's death. My grief started all over again. When does this get any easier? It has been months. I still break down, she still breaks down. Everybody still breaks down. Danielle, Keith's wife, says it is just starting to hit her that Keith is never coming back. Many of the guys still stop by and fix the household items and mow the lawn for her. It feels like yesterday all over again. I hope this gets easier.
If it ain't wide open; it ain't running.        Rule number one in motocross racing: Pin it; row the gear box; and wait until you hit something.     At work my motto is: If you need me, call someone else.

It probably won't ever be easy.  I'll spare you the cliches about death being part of life, but I would think that your loved ones would want you to keep on going even after they're gone.  I know I would.  Remember the good times, but don't fixate on the grief.

Chin up, we're still with you.

Deputy You have my condolence(s),

This is the first time I noticed this thread! I haven't been to active on this sight for a couple months because of personal problems of my own ( relationships)   :rotz: 

But with all the replys here! I know that there are  people here that care :yesnod: I would be honored to be part of this group of friends!
That is why the website that TROY has started here is truly a "home" for us :icon_smile_cool:

Take care and let GOD be the "ultimate" Judge!!

Man, that's really rough. I get all choked up when I read posts like this ...yours was especially touching. It helps with the closure I guess....but its still very tough and nobody really understands what your going through unless they're you.  All I can say is, it will get better, even though sometimes we never think it will.  :angel:

DC, I am only 48 years old, I have lost both my parents to old age, my uncle Tom who I cared deeply about passed on due to old age, and a 24 year old nephew to a car crash many years ago. I can say from my experience that the hurt never goes away, as time passes it will become less painful and easier to live with. You must grieve, sometimes the grieving can last a long time, but eventually as time goes on and living your life once again becomes more enjoyable you will be able to let the pain go. He will never be forgotten by his friends and loved ones, but we the living must live. I wish you the best.

Condolences on your loss.

Incidentally, thank you for doing that largely-thankless job of policework.

Peace,

Neal

     Thanks for all the support guys. I guess it just got the best of me when Danielle did her interview after the memorial things the Toledo Police do. She has mentioned that all of the busy work of the burial and other traditions are over, the horrible loneliness is setting in. The despair is overwhelming. We all let it return to the front of our minds and it feels like yesterday. I guess I had one too many beers and heard the new information. I let it get the best of me. I recovered by the next morning and moved on. Many of us don't dare talk about it at work. It just gets your mind off work and could get you hurt.  Keith will never be forgotten. I will just have to curb the drunkin break downs. Thanks again. I am going to try to find the funeral piece again and watch it a few times. Thanks again for everything you all do around here.

     The wtol.com site starts the wrong video. Just click on the Danielle Dressel video and it will start. Grab some tissue to watch. I always will.
