I joined this group about three weeks after my husband passed away 11/11/2019 because it was a “support group”. Unfortunately there isn’t much activity on here, the ones you get responses from are very very helpful though. But the activity isn’t much when you are in crisis mode. Thankfully I have joined a support group at home and it has been very helpful.
So sorry for what your going through again, I can even imagine. The pain of losing my husband after 21 years married and 25years together is awful and I can’t imagine going through it again.
At least your wife is home with you, as was my husband and I’m thankful for being able to hug and kiss him in his final hours. Stay strong and know you and your wife are in my prayers and thoughts.

what really stinks is the support group was great 10 years ago and helped my now wife and I a lot now it looks like there is only a few people here who really need support

I agree. Its not much of a group anymore. I didn’t know how it used to be, but have read some post regarding that. It’s a shame because a support group is exactly what it says it is “SUPPORT GROUP”.
Maybe try finding another group that can offer more support then just a few. Also I have bought a couple books on grief which have wonderful. One is called “Getting to the other side of grief”. Great book!

I would have to agree with you both. I came here (DS) several years ago and have been in several groups. I would find some very kind, caring people who have helped me through quite a lot. There are a handful who still check in to see how everyone is.

For the most part though, it is becoming like a morgue (please forgive me for saying that). Appears there is noone around. Very sad as I think it does help us when we are here to share and connect.

I am very new to your group as I have just lost my husband on January 30th of this year. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I joined in 2016 and do not log on all the time anymore but still come on sometimes. I made friends on here and they always respond when they have time,still the best support group i have found ( Hugs)

I'm ten years out from losing my husband. I check in almost every night, but I don't see a lot of new posts, I will try to be more proactive to respond, though.

I'm taking a break from another, more active forum as the mods are letting non-widows/widowers onto the forum to gripe about how hard it is to date widows and widowers. "Advice for the lovelorn" forums are a dime a dozen. The unique loss of one's life partner is worthy of a specialized forum. Additionally, it's frustrating and sometimes difficult enough path to navigate without someone signing up just to complain how high maintenance we are.
