I am very sorry you are going thru this as we all have been there. Time is what you will hear. It takes time. You really can't think about it in days right now. Break it down into minutes if you have to. You are very early on in this. Most important thing right now is to be patient with yourself. Don't push and don't get in a hurry to move forward. Do what ever you need to do right now. Just hang on every day. It will get less painful. But time has to go by first. It is the worst pain you can feel. Half of you is gone and your still in shock at this point. The world you knew has been taken away. And so your left with that same question all of us have asked ourselves. What do I do now? But right now you don't have to answer it. You can take your time until your ready to tackle that.
Take care of yourself. Rest as often as you can. Get sleep as much as you can. Don't ignore what your body needs. Make sure and eat and drink even when you don't have an appetite you have to maintain what your physical body needs. If not you wind up with health issues. If you are a person of faith, pray every day and night. stay in your faith. I lost my wife a year ago, I promise the stabbing pain will subside and dull over time. The one thing don't let anyone tell you that it's time you learn to get over it. You don't get over it, you learn over time how to live with it. Just take each minute as they come. Heal in you own way everyone is different. It definitely helps to connect with others who have gone thru this. It is a different loss than others.
Please take care of yourself.
Peace, Tim

Hi...I am so sorry for your loss and the pain you are going through.
I lost the love of my life 16 weeks ago yesterday to an unexpected blood clot.
I'm still early in the grief stages and probably don't have the best advise but I do know that it helps to read the stories of others that are going through the same type of loss.
If you can start by taking the first step to stand up and take care of yourself each day....You will find the strength to carry you the rest of the way.
I hope you find peace and comfort in knowing that others care and can relate to what you are feeling....Take care and stay safe

I am truly sorry for your loss. I don't have anything in the way of advice, because our situations and timing are very similar; however, I have found good information and comfort through the people on this site and encourage to continue using it to help guide you through. I will be holding you up in prayer. Robert

I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved husband. I have not posted here much lately but feel that I need to respond if I can offer anything that may be helpful. I lost my beautiful wife 18 months ago and we both rode motorcycles. The first days and months were a deep fog, for me at least. That fog with time will start to clear and the pain will lessen somewhat. As was mentioned before take things one day at a time, one hour at a time or even minute to minute. Things will get more clear in time and please believe things will get easier. Remember to breathe and take care of yourself. Thoughts and prayers your way. ~Pete

I have begun this new process of where i sit alone and pretend i am going in my mind to speak with my husband its kinda working or i am just getting crazier.,

I'm so sorry for your loss. I can relate . I remember being in the back seat of the car going to the funeral home. I couldn't believe I was on my way to my Bob's funeral. We were married 40 years. It was ten years ago. It took a lot of time and tears but I did heal and you will too, Dear. Just try to take one day at a time. This is a good place to come with your heart ache. Everyone here knows what you are going through. Wishing you peace and strength. Hugs, Dolores

Hi, just wanted to say how much everyone's responses helped me yesterday, I stared the day with a quiet dog walk and seemed to find a inner calmness and strength that got me through yesterday and I even managed to smile on occasion. It was a beautiful day and my boy's did there dad proud. By the way my name is Tracey xx

Hi Tracy
First of all you have my deepest condolences on the loss of your husband. This will be the hardest thing that you ever do in your life but it sounds like you're a very strong woman which I admire. I'm glad you found all of us here...this place has helped so many. I've been out of commission for a few days so I'm way behind on reading posts but I came across yours last night and I was very concerned about you and the day that you had before you. Thank you so much for the update, it did my heart good to read. I'm sure you're very proud of your boys. And I'm sure they're very proud of you. I know your husband is very proud of all of you. Always remember, love is eternal and he will never be far away...
Big hugs
Darcie

So sorry for your loss. There are no words to express how hard it is. My wife died from brain cancer several years ago.

Hi Tracey, I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear husband. You have come to the right place with all of us here to listen, talk and comfort you on your early journey here. Especially what Tim says is so true, just please take care of your physical health, eat well as you can even though you aren't hungry, drink lots of water, and just rest. It's okay. I know you are in shock right now, it is the mind's way of shutting down too much grief to handle. It will last for a few months. Time, lots of time, will eventually let you breathe a little better, just try to take it easy, don't try to move forward so fast like I did. You will be okay here on this site with us. I know, it's been one year in August since John died and I am now just beginning to bring back some of our good things together, like listening to our music we did together. Remembering him at night with the music. Take care, Tracey.
Hugs and sunflowers, Nanette
