The story of me and my late wife to the creators of Sea Of Thieves: Thank you

  • This is a heartfelt message from me to your team. My wife passed away last Monday due to cancer. She and I sailed the Sea Of Thieves many days and nights since its release. We shared many laughs and excitement brought to us by your game and the escape it created.

    An escape from the pain that my wife and our family were experiencing. My wife had fought cancer for a long year but yet through it all she never stopped smiling. Some of those smiles came from the time that her and I had with Sea Of Thieves.

    She always looked forward to us playing and we always made sure we tackled every new feature TOGETHER. One of the best memories is when the two of us finally reached Pirate Legends. A feat we talked about for a long time.

    I am thankful to your team for allowing me to share this unforgettable experience with my wife. I know she is sailing the heavenly seas on a ship built by love that has no bounds.

    Thank you @SeaOfThieves @RareLtd

  • @mutation-x2 this honestly brought tears to this old salts eyes, and i am not the emotional type of person...

    My sincere condolences in this hard time and may the memories of your lass and your shared times on and off the seas forever fill your heart with joy.

    Losing someone close to you never is easy, and that damn disease takes more then you ever thought you could lose, later tonight i will sail the seas with my buddies and a not so well known dutch streamer and i will make sure this message is heard.

  • @Mutation-X2 My sincere condolences in this hard time. I am not so good with words. But hearing this brings tears to my eyes, an awful disease.... may her memory live on.

  • @mutation-x2 My most sincere condolences for your loss, so very sorry.

    Many a grog will be raised to you and yours tonight, matey. Fair winds and following seas.

    Thank you so much for this. I wanted to share my story because it feels good to talk about these memories with her that were so dear to us this past year. I appreciate you spreading the word as it only strengthens the love that comes with the message. You have my utmost respect and I hope one day I see you on the seas.

    Thank you for sharing something so personal and beautiful, I will raise a glass and bellow out becalmed on my old hurdy-gurdy in the pirate legend hideout tonight on behalf of two true legends.😢

    My deepest sympathies to you and your family, from one legend to another.

  • @Deckhands Any chance one you you can get Rare's attention and see about a permanent memorial in the game?

    Acts of kindness come in so many ways. Thank you dearly for asking.

  • My deepest condolences to you good sir. I shed a few tears reading your beautiful post as i too have lost a loved one to that terrible terrible disease. Mortality is such a raw deal sometimes. They say time heals all wounds but I do not feel that applies to situations like this. Im glad you can appreciate the memories this game gave yall. I hope youre able to continue to enjoy & immerse yourself in the game, without your beautiful memories putting you inside your own head, making it too difficult to enjoy. If you ever need a sloop partner i would happily play with you & try to be as funny as possible. Again im so sorry to hear of your loss. Best winds & wishes to you my friend 😢.

  • My wife’s about to leave me if I don’t STOP playing SOT’s!

    @Admiral-GreyJoy You said it best my friend and I'm so sorry that you lost someone as well. While it isn't an easy to talk about it sometimes, I have come to realize that it does help. I really appreciate the offer for a partner on the sloop. I'll send you a friend request.

  • Give this man some special sails.

    Give this man some special sails.

    @KlutchxKing518 You are too kind. Thank you.

  • @Mutation-X2 I am so sorry for your loss. 💜

    I play SoT sometimes with friends, sometimes solo, sometimes with my 'other half' as well. So it really makes me smile that you and your Wife enjoyed the game together so much. The next time that we play together, we will raise some Grogs in honor of you and your Wife.🙇‍♀️😊🌊 🤝

    Her memory will live on forever in the Seas, with all of the laughs and smiles and adventures that you shared. 👏😇🌺❤

  • This is such a touching thread and I really appreciate you sharing it with us. I know for many in the community, gaming is a central part of our relationships and an amazing way to connect with our loved ones and with strangers on the seas.

    Thank you for sailing with all of us.

  • Hey,

    I'm so sorry to hear about this. I can only guess the pain that causes such a loss.
    If at least you have these memories about the times of joy that you shared with your beloved, then I hope they may help you in the times to come.

    Next time we play, I promise my crew and I will share a minute of silence, then a cannon salve and finally music, grog and joy in the memory of your wife.

    May the wind blow in favour to you and your family.
    S!

    I agree with @NoFears-Fun 100000000000000000000 percent.

    Her gamertag and character picture should be memorialized within the game.

  • @glannigan said in The story of me and my late wife to the creators of Sea Of Thieves: Thank you:

    God Bless my friend your story touched my heart! Rest easy in knowing that she is in Gods hands now and pain free! I will send off a ship a blaze in her honor!

  • Sorry for your loss! So sad.

    Will you continue to sail the SoT?

  • @spiralout46and2 said in The story of me and my late wife to the creators of Sea Of Thieves: Thank you:

    @Mutation-X2 I am so sorry for your loss. 💜

    I play SoT sometimes with friends, sometimes solo, but often with my 'other half' as well. I like SoT more than he does, so I play more than him, but we still have great fun playing together. We've hit our major milestones in the game together too, including Pirate Legend. So it really makes me smile that you and your Wife enjoyed the game together so much. The next time that we play together, we will raise some Grogs in honor of you and your Wife.🙇‍♀️😊🌊 🤝

    Her memory will live on forever in the Seas, with all of the laughs and smiles and adventures that you shared. 👏😇🌺❤

    @SpiralOut46and2 It's so wonderful to hear this. It is truly a special thing to share with someone, even if some may scoff at it because it's a video game. That didn't matter to us. What mattered is how the game made us feel together. It brought us a different kind of joy. I raise my grog to you and your other half as well.

    @Kenji-Salk My sincerest thank you Kenji to both you and your team. It is indeed a great way to connect with our loved ones but please know that your game has allowed me to connect with someone dear to me in ways that words cannot describe that now go beyond just a simple connection. You should be proud.

    @PIRVA-LAVIN Thank you dearly for your kind words my friend. I was with my wife for 16 years so while a pain that stems from losing someone you were close to for so long may never truly diminish, I know that people like you and the memories I have will help me to move forward.

    @Scrubber89 I think so.

  • @mutation-x2 So sorry for your loss.

    It would be beautiful if they could memorialize her in a game that you both enjoyed.

    @Deckhands anything you can do???

    @Musicmee read the OP, anything you could do to make this happen?

    Thank for sharing this story with us. I hope the Sea ( of Thieves) still calls to you and you continue to raise anchor and drops sails and see where the wind takes you. If you ever need a fellow pirate to sail with send me a message. We can always make room for one more on our crew.
    Wishing you calmer seas ahead.
