I am so sorry for your loss and just want to say this this place is the one place where everyone understands. Try very hard to be very kind to yourself, and just remember to breathe in and out. I know how hard it is. My wonderful husband died at 51 very suddenly of an aortic aneurysm and no one saw it coming. Losing the man you love is like losing everything you know, and feels so painful you can almost pass out from the pain. Please try to just slow down and be very gentle with yourself.

Beth,
So sorry for your loss. I am a little farther on this journey no one wants to be on. My sweet husband of 30 years had a heart attack 2 months ago. This is a place where you can spill your grief or read how others are adjusting. It has helped me along the way. Your loss is very fresh. Having your son and daughter-in-law will help some. Take help from others when they offer and please take care. ((Hug))

Beth!
So sorry about your loss.
I know how painful it is. My husband of almost 21 years passed away in January. The only man I knew who loved me unconditionally. Very very sad. Try to take care of your self and be the strongest person you know even if it seems impossible.
I am getting better each day.
Hugs

Hi Beth. My names Bill. I'm so sorry for your loss. You've found a very good site to seek solace. Many good people here. Some just starting the journey like you others have been on it a decade or more. Me I'm 9 months into it. Like you my wife was taken very suddenly. So unexpected. We were alot like you guys. We did everything together. We were each others best friends. Now our best friends are gone. You say you don't know how your going to get through this. I know we all asked ourselves the same. Your loss is but a week old. You are still in the shock phase of grief. You will go through many more. Anger came next for me. Try not to go there. What's done is done. Don't do the would have could have should haves. I've done that too. Changes nothing. Just makes you feel worse. You will go through a depression stage. Maybe see your doctor to help you with that short term. You will get through this. One moment at a time. Don't look past today and only look backward to remember the good times. Good thoughts and a hug out to you. Hang in there. You will come out the other side of this. This saying has helped me these past 9 months..."Grief is the price we pay for love". The way I see it I was lucky to have her love for the short time I did. Would not trade that for anything.

Lisa, Kimberlina, Lexie, and Bill,

Thank you so much for responding to me. Yesterday was such a bad day for me, especially closer to the evening. Everything still feels hopeless. I can't imagine being without David. Sometimes it feels like this is temporary, that he's coming back, and then it hits me that he's not. Honestly, I don't know how you do it. Waking up in the morning is horrendous. I am glad I joined this group, though, because everyone seems so supportive. I definitely need to talk to people who know exactly what I'm going through.

Hi Beth! I lost my husband who was my life almost 5 months ago. I cry everyday and my heart is shattered. Not sure how to go on either. Wish you the best

Thank you again, everyone. I'm so grateful to have found this group. Friends and family help a little but I really think that people can't truly understand what this is like unless they're experiencing it first hand. We all feel each other and completely emphasize. I look forward to conversing with all of you because I believe we can help each other. I'm so new to this but I want to be there for all of you.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss and hope you can find some support and comfort here. I have been here a while and found these people wonderful. Having those who understand is a blessing for me.

So sorry for your loss, I also lost my hubby after 29 years of marriage- we met when I was 19 years old. It unexpected- came home and found him. I miss him so much It has been 14 months and I am better but I still fall apart when I start thinking about him. I find that it is better to talk about him then to try and bottle it up. Take care of yourself and surround yourself with people that love you and your husband. HUGS
