Hello,

I lost my husband and best friend on Sept 19, 2015 suddenly in the middle of the night from a heart attack. I still miss him like it was yeaterday. I am trying to move forward but some days it is harder then others. I am retired now and get very lonesome at times not having someone just to talk too. I tried reaching out to friends from work but they are busy with their own life and I understand that. My sister wants me to move closer to her in another state but I am finding that difficult to leave the home my husband and I shared together for over 45 years. So I have decided to reach out to people that are more like me and see if I can find some friends to talk to and if I can help others that are going through the same thing as me.

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my partner suddenly 02/11/14 and still find the days are long but slowly am finding purpose again. I do things that I enjoy doing even though it not the same as it used to be but it does help. There is a group on FB that might help you called Soaring Spirits International which is for widows/widowers that might interest you. Also if look up "Meetups" on the internet you may find some groups that you have interests in common with. Hope that this helps. (((Hugs)))

Life will never be the same but you do learn how to cope. They say you should wait up to 5 years before making and huge choices.Any big choices should wait as this life alternating reality now that you're in with take time to heal from I was going to move across the country to be closer to my sister as well and am glad i never did. This is where my life is and where my husband and i lived,where our children live and grandchildren..and try as they may with good intentions i am sure. They will never understand..around a year after my husband died my sister bout a book about being a widow and told me i should be feeling better now..Ultimately the choice is yours but i would give yourself some time to learn how to feel again ( Hugs)

    DEALING WITH LOSS OF WIFE

    Just thought I would join this group now that I am a widower.  My wife passed away May 28th. She was "The Wind Beneath My Wings".  When I met her, I was a drunken, dope smoking, fighting, hell raising biker.  She told me if I could get rid of the inner storm within me, that I could be a blessing to people. God placed her in my path to stop me.  I have been drug and alcohol free now for 53...
