Joe,
I am so sorry to hear of your wife's passing. Sharing with us here on DS will definitely help you get through each day. The friendship and compassion I have found here have made this terrible journey more bearable. Please come back often, whether to post or simply to read. The door is always open!

Wishing you peace . . .

Joe, I'm so sorry for the loss of your beloved wife. I know how deep this loss goes and how it feels inside you.

The pain, the loss, the sadness, the vacant, alone feeling.........we are all here with you and we've all felt it. It hurts so much, I know!

Don't try to do anything, not yet. Let your heart catch-up with your head.......Again, I'm so sorry!

Roz

Joe, I'm so sorry for your loss, and the fact that you have to be here at all, but glad you found us.
I hope you find help like I have with this group - there are terrific, loving, caring people on this site who have pulled me through many a dark night.
I echo Roz, in that you should take time to grieve, as much as you are able, and to not make any major decisions on things beyond the funeral arrangements. Just heal. It will all come together in good time.
Take care, Jac

Joe, I am so sorry. That is only five days ago. When my wife died in February, I was pretty nonfunctional at that time. I too have to care for my son. Please read here what you can; the pain is unavoidable, but you may find ways that help you cope.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Joe.
I also care for an adult child who is autistic, and have been doing it alone since my husband became ill, and passed March 19 of this year. This is a good place to come to...there are a lot of caring, compassionate people who have endured the same loss, and who share your pain. Take care,
Wendi

Joe . . I can only echo the comments of our family members post(s) written before. I'm so very sorry for your recent loss. Please stay with us . . . there are and will be a plethora of insights shared along with hugs galore. DSWW was my saving grace . . I hope you will find this site to be as valuable as I have in moving through the horrid grief journey. Hate to say welcome . . but welcome. Hugs, Dayna

Hi Joe! I am so sorry to hear about your wife! This site is the best! I lost my husband almost 4 months ago and you will find everyone so supportive here. We all are walking in the same shoes and know how hard and painful it is to loose a loved one. I have received the best advice here and it really helps to know you are not alone and that there are people who really know how you are feeling. I practically lived on this site during the first few weeks. It was my life line. But it was the best life line ever and I am surviving and you will to!

Joe, my deepest condolences. I lost my beloved wife about 4 months ago. As others rightly pointed out, this is the best support group so please come to share your pain and questions. I live in Hong Kong so my daytime is many others nighttime. I may be able to respond when you cannot sleep. Try to sleep, eat and do exercise. Be gentle to yourself. Hugs, Tiger

Hi Joe, So sorry for your loss of your wife so suddenly. How old is your daughter? Take it all day by day or it can really get so overwhelming. We are all here for each other and a great source of support and caring.

Joe, I am so sorry about the loss of your beautiful wife. I lost my sweet husband suddenly a month ago and feel for you. Yes, the pain is immense. I just reached out here yesterday for the first time and already received so much love and support back. This is going to be a rough journey for all of us and please know you are not alone. Hugs, Kathy

Joe: I'm so sorry for your loss; and glad that you found this support group. Come here as often as you need to, day or night. We're here for you. We've all been where you are right now, so we do understand. For now, be kind and gentle with yourself; and know that in time it will get better. Blessings. Sharon

Hi Joe, I'm so sorry for your loss. Sharing really does help, especially here. I don't think I could handle this very well on my own. You and your daughter are in my prayers. Kim

My wife passed in Oct so I just passed the 6 month mark. I cut myself a lot of slack going through that fog so do the best you can but know you won't be yourself for awhile.

As has been shared by the others this site has also been extremely helpful to me. There's a level of understanding & empathy you will find in here from those that have / are traveling down that road of unfathomable sadness.

Hang in there for both you and your daughter.

Hi Joe, I share your grief. I was married 55 years and my wife passed away in March so I know how you feel. The pain inside you is actually physical as I know too well. I can tell you that after these 10 weeks, I still weep a little every day, but the pain is easing bit by bit. I lost interest in everything when she passed on, and seriously considered joining her. However I still talk to her and tell her how much I have always loved her. It helps to know that I really believe she can still watch me. Have faith, Joe, (not necessarily religious) , but I honestly believe that love can never die.
