      I am 56 years old and was married for 38 years. My husband recently passed away on March 25th and i am in the grieving process right now. I am hoping with time to be able to pick up the pieces, cry less and laugh more. I have a wonderfully supportive family and great children.

      My thoughts are with you at such a difficult time. I think baby steps would help and extreme self care. Baby steps meaning don't push yourself, take it moment by moment, to do what you can do. Cry when you need to cry, a support group with other women who have lost their spouses to share with might lessen the load, look after yourself, sleep when you need to, hot baths to relax,don't exert yourself and be kind to yourself. You are stronger than you know and you will get through this moment by moment. Take Care, Sheila

      From Driver2 April 11, 2008

      Dear MariR, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my husband to cancer 6 months ago and this hasn't been an easy journey. He was the love of my life; we did everything together. My heart goes out to anyone who is having to endure this kind of pain. I just joined this site looking for ways to cope; I hope it helps.

    • Close Bereavement

      I just lost my husband of 38 years on 3/25/08 at a very young age of 61. I am 56 years old. We did everything together. I feel lost and saddened. I am angry that he was taken from me so young and i feel cheated. I am hoping that joining this bereavement group will help me heal. I'd like to cry less and laugh more. I know in time i will.
