Hello MrRep,

I offer you my deepest condolences. In the message of the Redeemer, there is an offer of hope to all.

There is always an audience in online forums and chat rooms dealing with a loss. Keep in touch. When grief is overwhelming and you are unable to cope, consultation with a bereavement/grief therapy/counseling specialist is an option. Processing can be confusing; and what you feel will not always be easily explained. There are periods of time when you will feel like a ship in a storm. The aim now is to alter complicated behavior of grieving. Hopefully, you have trusted family and friends to observe you and you will need an active support system of caring people on call for those falling, breaking or giving way emotional moments.

And at no point is anyone's grief predictable. You deserve lots of patience, warmth and genuineness and empathy during communication of your thoughts and feelings. And no relationship will ever parallel with that associated with your dear beloved wife. However, many desire to move ahead to therapeutic relationships in order to ease the pain and loneliness.

There are several interesting support groups at this site in which you may decide to join as you feel anxious, depressed, alone or any type of personal challenges. Many articles or resources are available at the Sharecare division of this DS support system. You may even speak with professional consultants directly online at this site. Many ready resources are available to offer useful information, as you seek to deal with certain problems and find yourself in need of a suggestive course of action to handle your situation in a comfortable way. Generally speaking, stay encouraged. Please, do not bound yourself to shackles of self-pity, doubt or discouragement; coming to this site for support is a noble pursuit. I pray you well.

I leave you with the hope of a great transcending happiness, even during the most humble and forlorn moments of your grief and pain.

Remiah

Big hug of comfort and support MrRep......I am so very sorry for your loss and the pain that you're in... Grief is so hard to bear ....Especially when it's someone as close as your life partner

I've not lost a husband but have lost my birth family..... I would suggest getting into a RL support group if you can..... There is a good board here called Widows and Widowers.... It's active, supportive and people are in different points of healing..

I will put up a link for it.... I'm glad that you're here..... Another hug and a blessing.....xo

My heart hurts for you. I lost my husband suddenly on June 27' 2017. He caught on fire and lived for about a week on a ventilator. It is very hard! Somedays it is hard to make it through but God is my strength. I have started going to a group called grief share and it is helping me. There is a workbook that we work through each week. We meet and watch a video, talk about our feelings. I have learned so much about grieving and how for each of us it is different. I have been so angry at my husband for leaving me and at God for taking him. I talk to God allot and sometimes just crawl up into His lap and cry. That is ok. He stops whatever He is doing and sits down so I can. Some say it gets easier. Some say you just learn to live with the pain, and some have even told me that you can get your joy of life back. I don't know but I would like to have my joy back. Only time will tell. I will pray for you... Hang in there God has a plan for you.
