Sorry for your loss. I lost my husband April 30th. It is a devastating loss to say the least. I can't say I have any sage advice for you as I am pretty new to this new existence too. This is a great place to reach out and seek support. There are folks just like us in different stages of the grieving process. It is comforting to know that in a year I will not feel like I do today. I know I don't feel quite as lost and overwhelmed as I did when he died. Be patient. Sending prayers and hugs your way.

I am very sorry for your loss and welcome you to this group where people truly understand the pain you are struggling with. I lost my husband and high school sweetheart over 7 years ago and I found this group my life line through the hard times and the place I learned I could survive. I'm now one of the community leaders here along with Marsha ( marjoe ) and Martha ( cliffskat ) and we are here to help you along this journey. Sharon

Thanks for sharing, two ladies from my church lost their husbands this past winter. I visited with them, I can't believe it happened to me as well:(
I looked on here because I feel funny to call them on an upsetting day don't want to bring anyone down. I am like a roller coaster ride. I think I have done fairly well it is each big milestone causes fresh reliving of the loss. So I will feel fine & take on a "moving on project" & start nose diving into the reality of it all. I'm preparing to move which everyone agrees will be a good thing, I keep replaying the positive parts of it & fighting the tears. I don't like it without my husband :( it is like losing half of yourself.
I went to a dear friend's wedding Sat. had panic attacks as I got ready & I enjoyed being out like being normal. I even danced.When a slow song came on I fled outside & smoked & shoved back memories of dancing with my husband. This is one tough journey

Iam so sorry for your loss. I am thankful you came to this forum.
The wonderful group of people on this forum have been a God send to me. You will find much support, here, from all perspectives.
Love, peace and hope,
Sandra

I am so sorry for your loss. Everyone at this site are very supportive. It had help me to move forward one step at a time. I hope you can take it one moment or one day at a time. Take care, hugs.

My heart hurts for your loss. Losing your soul mate is like losing a part of your body. Try to allow your friends to love you doing this time. Be honest and tell them when you need them and when you want to be alone. God will heal your broken spirit but we must be open to His love and healing. I was not open when I lost my husband two years ago. I am getting better now and seeking the new road we must face but it is a process. Cry when you need to and take all the hugs offered. You are covered in prayer. Listen for the Lord to speak the sweet sound of comfort.
