Losing a spouse is among the most heartbreaking experiences a person can have. They’ve devoted their life to one individual, and suddenly, that person is gone. Thankfully, technology allows us to keep memories alive with pictures and videos. Simply seeing their face or hearing their voice can help ease some of the pain.

Many of us take photos and videos every day with smartphones. The images are crisp and clear, and we can immediately review them to decide if we want to keep them or delete pics and start over. Not so long ago, photo technology was more challenging and much less convenient. Cameras took pictures in film, and we had to wait until they were developed to learn their quality. Sadly, a lot of times, the photos weren’t great, but we didn’t know until it was too late and the moment had passed.
A man named Matthew Jacobs recently lost his wife and doesn’t have many pictures of her. One of his favorites from when they were younger was blurry, and he hoped someone could help bring the memory back to life.
Matthew posted the photo in a Facebook Photo Restoration Group and asked for help.
“Lost my wife in January,” he wrote. “And as she got older and gained weight she didn’t like having her picture taken. So I don’t have many pictures with her. The one below is one of my favorites when we were younger. Can someone please bring out our faces and get rid of the glare? Thank you in advance.”
The Internet Saw The Photo Of The Man And His Late Wife And Saved The Day
Several people came forward to help restore Matthew’s photo and a beautiful memory with his wife. Total strangers didn’t hesitate to help a grieving man and took time out of their day to help.
Someone wrote, “So very sorry for your loss. And I’m very glad to see that folks in this group Definitely got the job done. There are some incredible edits above. She was beautiful by the way.”
“I am so sorry that your precious wife has passed away. Too young. Please know that I am thinking of you and hope that your children bring smiles to your face. Your photo restoration pictures look wonderful. A beautiful couple,” another kind person shared.
This simple gesture goes to show there are still so many good people in this world and if you need help, all you have to do is ask.
