This is a great site and one that offers support. I lost my husband March 31 of this year. It was my parent's wedding day, so it's not a date I'll ever forget. I know what you mean by a sudden loss of your husband. I'm still in shock as are you. Still, I know my husband would want me to go on so I do.

Please keep close to God. It's the only comfort we truly have. I've started watching religious programs on television. One a day. Jack Van Impe in particular. This minister talks about end-time prophecy--how we believers will be with God in a blink of an eye when Jesus returns. This makes me happy to think that I could be sitting here typing and in the next second be reunited with my husband and God Almighty. It helps me sleep at night. It keeps me sane when I don't think I have the strength to go on.

You said: "I have been a member of DS for some time looking for help and support and information for my husband."


Just wondering what kind of information your looking for, ahd why would you be look for the information for your husband if he is dead? Wouldn't the information be for you? Sorry a bit confused here.

You said you have been here for some time looking for help and support. What kind of help are you looking for? The way you worded it sounds like you haven't found what your looking for yet; like it has been a while.. Where have you been looking?

to myhopeisi............I really take offence to your comments. How cruel.
I have been on the DS site for one of my husbands health issues since early 2009. Sadly he passed away 2 1/2 weeks ago which you would know if you had read any of the other caring posts before yours. Maybe you didn't mean for your comments to be so hurtful, but you have hurt me deeply. Sorry you are too blunt for me. Wendy

I am so sorry for your loss. I am at nine 1/2 weeks and it still hurts to wake up each morning and get through each day. Just try to take care of yourself. Try to eat and sleep when and if you can. This is a wonderful site and everyone here "really gets it and understands" the misery you are going through. There is no clear path through this grieving process and each of us handles it differently......and that is
OK. Just do what you feel like and, most importantly, don't let anyone else TELL you what you SHOULD or SHOULD NOT be feeling. Sadly, even though friends and family will try to help.......this is your own journey and how fast or slowly you travel it is your own choice and your right. Welcome to this wonderful site that no one ever wants to join.........come often, vent if you want to, ask for advice if you want to, whatever!!!! We are all in the same sad place and we are here to help and be helped by each other. Sending you a hug and hoping today will be just a little better than yesterday. Dianne

sorry for the lost,
take it one day at a time, if you up and feel like doing it, then do i, other wise don't.
Grief is different for each one of us, and there is no time table to how long,
rest whenever possible,
look for a grief grop to belong to, there is some online if u would like to know about them click a pm to me and I can tell u, for I'm not sure if I should post them here or not. DOn't want to if you not interest in it.

some days u may want to be left alone and other days u will feel like being around others which is good.

know that we are here, and just take it one day at a time, . some likes to write, and then others cry, scream, hit, or whatever it takes to get feelings out/

wishing u the best and sayng prayers.
