I am so sorry for your loss Skillet. I truly can relate to how you are feeling right now. I lost my wonderful wife two years ago in a auto accident. She was my best friend, lover, mother of my son---but most definetly NOT my "property". We were married 32 years, she hated bikes. Was always afraid that if I had one I would get hurt----or worse. How ironic.
Just keep your head up, think of all the good times you had with your buddy and ignore the "attitude" of those other folks.
Paw.
