I lost the only man I ever loved my husband

It's been since Oct. but I was numb for the first 4 months. He was only 44 but alcohol consumed his life and it took his life. I was upset with him I left him laying in bed while I went to kitchen 45 to 60 min. I find him gone. For months I had to sleep in that bed until my sons got me a new one. I live and function right now for them. I am 11 yrs older then my husband and my health had taken a nose dive. I do have one person I can talk to besides God and that is his mom. She lost her dad then her husband and her mom had just died when her son my husband passed. We text all the time but we live 2500 miles from each other. Thanks for letting vent. I have been crying all day today.

First, let me say I am so sorry for your loss. Thats good that you are able to have his mother to talk to. I'm sure you are a wonderful support for her as well. Do you have friends or family you can talk to? Expressing and sharing your pain and grief is so healing. You are not alone. Prayers and hugs to you.

Saying sorry is a powerful word to hear when tragedy
strike. It shows you are not alone. So I will say sorry for your pain. You are where I will be I just terminated
Life support on my wife
of 16 yrs It was a difficult
Decision but in my heart the right one
I have lost dear friends to alcohol so I know your pain
Being an alcoholic for many years I know what damage it can inflict I have been sober for 14 years now and I seen firsthand what it can do
You are in a place where
the whole world seems so closed off and small
I am sure I will feel the same way in the days to come

Thanks for your post It does help. I am really struggling right now yesterday I slept layed in the dark and cried off and on. I love my sons but right now I just don't want to be around anyone but I push myself when he comes home. Whats worse I hurt my good hip so I've been laying down alot. If I could sleep 18 of the 24 hrs in a day I would be happy I know so I think sleeping is my escape and it is alluding me.

I am really struggling right now can't get up hurt my good hip layed in dark room yesterday cried slept played bookworm on phone so I didn't have to think about it all. My doctors want to put me back on antidepressants Ive tried so many. Really just want to be alone even when my son comes home from work and he's trying hard to engage me and I put on a little act because I feel guilty for just about everything maybe there is a forum to help me not feel like everything is my fault.

Sadwidow do you have a bible in your dark room? Reading that, especially psalms, and new testament, anything really to help you learn of and lean on God should comfort you. Remember He is called the God of all comfort. His Holy Spirit is also called the Comforter. Take advantage of that and pour your heart out to God because he cares for us. Acts2:38 Acts 22:16 Mark 16:16 Rev 1:5 Talk to me also if you would like.

    Some things we don't talk about, we breathe them... Some things cannot be explained, but rather experienced. Some of the most healing moments arise when given the memory, acknowledging the love.One cannot go back in time; we move forward, and we carry the love we shared. No one but ourselves has the power to do so, or the permission to do so, but ourselves.So live life with your faith and...
