I am so sorry for your loss, 6 weeks is still very early, all the emotions are still so raw. Take it one moment or one day at a time. We all know that feeling of missing our love ones and at times we forgot they are not here anymore. Then the realization comes and we are all shattered. It took over 3 weeks to get my husband's remains back from overseas. I wasn't able to grief until then. I didn't believe it was him. He didn't look like the person I sent off at the airport. This site has help me move forward. You have come to the right place with many friendly and supportive people. Hugs and wish you peace.

I am so sorry for your loss. ~HUGS~ to you, this journey is tuff nothing easy about, Hang in there.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my wife a little over 5 months ago. It all seems so surreal during the first few months. I still have times when I melt down and you will too. Just know the people here have gone through the same thing you have and they have a lot of compation and know what you are going through. They have helped me a lot and I am thankful for them. I still have problems believing my wife will never again walk into our front door or into our bedroom ever again.

Blessings to you.

I am sorry that you have become one of us here. But it is the best place to be. I am reading your post and I flash back to my first posts over 2 years ago. I was lost, hurt, searchin. I couldn't believe my husband, Jeff, was gone. This is the place I could come and feel like I could vent, cry, scream, or just be silent and read what others had to say. I never thought the numbness would go away or that I would ever stop crying. But I am here to tell you.....it will get better. The memories will be less painflul. The smile will come back as you remember all of the joy you had together. You will learn to continue on with some of the plans you had and you will let go of others. One day you will be able to move forward without your heart feeling like it can't hurt anymore.The pain eases, I promise.
I have not been back to this site for awhile and finally feel I have something to share with those who have just started this journey. I hope you will contact me when ever you need to.

During the first year I just held onto life by my fingernails. I did not believe I would survive the loss of the most important person in the world to me. During the first 6 weeks, my whole world was upside down and I felt there was nothing left in my life. I was wrong. But it took time. How I hated that word. But slowly it did heal my bleeding heart and actually brought me back to God and what he wanted me to do with the fragments of my life. I have healed a lot in these 3 years.

My heart goes out to you in sympathy for what you are suffering with right now. Just know that everyone here feels or has felt the same as you at one time or another. When all feels lost, please come here and let us hold you up! This group was my life saver. Best wishes to you!

You have come to a good, good place! Your feelings are normal and what we have all experienced! At six weeks out - I was a basket case - crying and not sure of anything anymore. Nothing seemed normal or right without my husband beside me! My world was destroyed - turned upside down! I was still in shock as you are! Like everyone else here has said - it will get better at some point - but the main thing now is to take care of you! Do whatever you have to do to get through each day and come here often and read, post, share. This site was my lifesaver and still is! I'm at the almost 10 month mark and still find so much comfort and love and understanding here! ((HUGS TO YOU!)) Debbie

Dear Dajrc:

I just joined this group and saw your post. I relate to your grief as I just lost my husband 4 mos. ago. Music was a huge part of our lives and so I can hardly listen to music anymore, especially our old favorites. I even cancelled Sirius because it only brought back sad memories. I'll be fine and then suddenly I hear some particular music and it will bring tears to my eyes. Listening to a lot of talk shows these days instead of music.
