Of widowhood, Schneider said, “There is nothing to prepare you for it.” In a YouTube video from April, a tearful Schneider described widowhood as an ongoing adjustment, with “the empty bed [as] a constant reminder” of loneliness and loss. Losing a spouse, he said, means “searching for new dreams that include only you” and feeling like “a stranger in your own life.”
About reuniting with his wife in heaven one day, Schneider said, “I did not lose her. I know where she is, and one of these days—if I do not screw it up—I will meet her there. It is up to me now.”
