Joe ...I too am so sorry for your loss,,may you find some comfort here with us..we all do really understand and care..sending you a gentle hug....

Dear Joe, I am so sorry for your loss. You have found a site that has been my salvation. It was one year ago on May 19th that Art passed on. We all understand and know what you are going through. The first few months are the worse!! However, for us that have been on this journey for awhile, we can tell you that time does heal. Right now take it one day at a time. Come here often for support. We are here for you. Is there a community living group that can help you with your daughter? You are in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs. Sue

Hi Joe. I am glad you found us, yet sorry for the loss of your wife. I understand the emotions you're experiencing since I lost my husband too. It was lung cancer that took him from our family and I, too, was lost. I hope you find comfort and understanding here as I have. Sharon

Joe, I also am so sorry for your loss. I just went through 1year of losing my love of my life. The pain & emptiness is immense. Even after a year, my emotions are still all over the place. We were married 38 wonderful years. I miss him so, but like others have said, being able to share our grief does help. I have a quote that I read everyday and it may help you & others.

"Grief never ends, but it changes. It's a passage, not a place to stay.
Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith.
It is the price of Love." Take care

I am very sorry this has happened to you Joe. My wife Sharry passed suddenly July 7th, 2013. I, too, care for my autistic son Matthew.
When this worst of nightmares hits us, it blows our entire world to pieces. Nothing can ever be the same again, nor does anything feel normal in any way. Please try to eat at least a little, even though you may have very little appetite, and drink plenty of fluids. There is a high anxiety level that accompanies a sudden tragedy like we have experienced. None of what you are going through may seem real to you at times. That anxiety builds each day, and the tears are what helps to calm, and slowly heal you.
Slowly, and unevenly, you will begin to recover some of your strength, and regain interest in activities, that, at this moment in time for you, may seem pointless in the midst of this life altering nightmare you are just beginning to travel through. This will take time. Many here know the horror of what you are experiencing. Right now, just do each step one by one. Know that you are never alone. Lean on us, we really do know how it feels. Hang on, you will get stronger over time.
Our prayers are with you, your daughter, and your family
Robert and Matt
