I am Roxanne from Maryland. I lost my husband in March 2010 to renal cancer that had spread to his lungs, my youngest brother in October 2010 to throat cancer, and my oldest brother in October 2011 to heart failure. My husband meant the world to me, and I will never ever completely recover from losing him. Also so much miss my two brothers - never dreamed they would leave this world so soon either. Although I post very little, I am on this site constantly just to read and not feel so alone in my thoughts and feelings. So glad I found it.

Hi I am Linda
Its been 3 years and 7 months since I lost my husband
He died on July 4th, 2009 due to a cardiac arrest.

Shorthly after my husband passed away I came across this site. I am so greatful that I found this site it has helped me a lot to make it this far. I don't post often but still visit the site whenever I am feeling down. The support we receive from the other members are so comforting and helpful. Thank you DS members.

Hello to every wonderful one of you in this group ! I am Sharon, living in Nebraska. My husband Ron passed away in Nov of 2010. He had several health issues for several years, but the final issue was advanced lung cancer. I have more good days now that bad ones, though I still have "melt-downs" once in a while. I find that staying busy, or at least as busy as I want to, helps; and reaching out to help others helps my healing too. I agree with someone else said here, when our DH are ill for a long time, we lose them little by little over that span of time. It still doesn't prepare us for the last goodbye, I don't think anything can. This site and the wonderful people here have been so helpful to me in understanding and coming to terms with this journey. Thank you all & wishing all of you many happy blessings! Sharon Kelley

l lost my husband Carson, Aug. 29/08, we were married for 43 years and together 47yrs. I live in Hamilton, Ontario Canada. Carson died of liver cancer. Even though it has been 4 1/2 years since he passed I miss him daily. People have said, you should be over it now, and that when I think of my late husband I should no cry. All I can say to that is, if they have never been through what I was through, how can they say such things.

I am Lisa, 44 years old. I lost my husband, John, on January 13, 2012 after a 2-month battle with Stage 4 Melanoma. We had been together for 2 years when he had been diagnosed on November 10, 2011.

John and I were sweethearts in 9th grade. My family and I moved away after 9th grade and he and I didn't see each other again until 26 years later in October 2009 when we reconnected and fell head over heels in love. We planned to get married but figured we had the rest of our lives to do so.

We got married 4 days after his diagnosis in the hospital chapel after he started his chemotherapy.

It has been a year since he passed away and not a day goes by that I don't think about what it would have been like to grow old with him. He was my soul mate.

I found this site a few weeks ago and come here often to see how other people are dealing with their loss. Before finding this site I felt like nobody understood what I was feeling. Thank you to all of the wonderful people here for your words of encouragement and hope.

Hi I'm Donna. I'm 53 and I live in PA. I lost my husband to cancer in Sept 2009. In the early days of my grief I'd visit this site often and I'll always be grateful for the support and help I've found here. It's been 3 years 4 months since his passing and so much in my life has changed. Some things have gotten better and some things have gotten worse. I guess trying to find "a new normal" is a long and slow process that requires a lot of work and a ton of patience. I can't say I visit this site the way I did years ago but I do still come here from time to time. I may not post but I do read the posts of others....and I still find comfort and strength amongst the pain. I believe that no matter how difficult things may be today, we will ALL make it through "this" if we keep remembering to take it one day at a time. Hugs and blessings to all of you.

I'm cathy5918 and lost my "husband" due to a motorcycle accident in July 2012. I'm 51 and he was 56 at the time. We were technically not married, but reconnected 14 years ago after knowing each other in the late 70's. He has two kids and I have two kids from previous marriages. The youngest just moved out in May and we were just finally beginning our lives together...just the two of us. After raising two kids on my own and going through transitions of mother to them not needing me anymore, I find myself really questioning why I am here. What is my purpose? I just joined this website yesterday and it truly has been helpful to know I am not alone.

Hi, I'm Paula, if I already posted, treat it as a senior moment.

I lost my husband to suicide 9/8/2009.. I met him when I was 15, married at 18, have 2 kids and 7 grandkids. We were married for 38 years. I'm the same age now, as he was when he died.

This site helped me so much, when I was trying to figure out "what do I do now". I used a support site for suicide survivors in the very beginning, but moved to this site later on in my grief.

I've met some of you at our Vegas meeting, and hope to meet more in the future. We all "get it" and it's nice to have people support you and understand.

I live in the New Orleans area, and I'm a bakery manager. I think God,my family and my job were my saving grace on this journey, that no one wants to make.

I don't come here as much anymore, but drop in every now and then. Anyone that wants to chat, send me a message. I'm always open to new friends.

This is my first post, so here it is on roll call. I was divorced for 20 years and then I met the real love of my life.who passed away, it seems like yesterday, but actually my beloved husband/life partner of 15 years, died 9 months ago,mid April 2012, of prostate and bladder cancer, and then my 51 yr old daughter died of breast cancer not quite 10 weeks later, last week of June. My throat closes in knd of a spasm whenever I think of either of them. I lost too much weight, unplanned, about 45 pounds, and gained back maybe 5. I cry so much.

Hi, my name is Dot short for Dorothy, I lost my husband of 38 yrs, Dave to a hemorragic stroke on March 18 2011. He had the stroke on the 14th of March, while at work, we disconnect life support late on the 17th and he passed early in the morning on the 18th. He was never sick before a single day during our entire marriage, so shocked is putting it mildly. My husband and I met when I was 16 yrs old and we were married a year and half later. He went into the Air Force after we were married and we loved the life, after almost 13 yrs, we separated due to his mothers illness and came back to our home of record, Dayton Ohio, where we stayed and I now live. I still have two of our three kids still living at home. Some days are still hard, but as with everything in life, I take each day as it comes.

Hi So many wonderful people on this site, I find it very humbling to hear from so many on how we got to this place in our lives from no action on our part. My Lovely Wife had Stage 4 cancer of the breast and passed away Aug 14, 2012. Lonely, still numb, trying figure our what is up, down, sideways! My wife used a number of boards to research her cancer and other boards to talk with fellow companions on their journey with Cancer. She encouraged me to search out after she was gone for this type of help, yes it has been great on this board. I know the courage everyone has shown is very inspiring and helpful. Thanks and warm gently hugs to all....
My name on this board is after her dog who passed away also.
