Welcome, and sorry for your loss. The people on this site will provide you with comfort, understanding, and support.

Yes we all need someone to talk with in the same situation. It's helps seeing their comments and hopefully know we will all get out of this big black hole we are in some day. Eleven if we have to crawl out slowly ,we'll get there.

Not a small thing at all. It is huge. Hard to fathom the emotional impact and toll the death of our spouse takes upon us. Reading older posts helps to educate us about grief, and just being here with people that truly get it is a life saver. Knowing you are not unique in your suffering somehow gives us strength to keep going. Eventually, it does get better. Glad you found us. Scott

ozzy,
you are like me. New to the site and i also don't usually do social media or support. No facebook or twitter here. But, i have been on this site for about 10 days and it has been helpful. You will find kind people here who all have been through a terrible loss. I, myself, lost my 48 yr old hubbie to a rare cancer 17 months ago and i still cry everyday. We know how you feel. Were here. Come and just talk whenever you like. Sending you hugs.

ozzy,
We're all the Walking Wounded here but our individual pain can be more tolerable during the times when we meet and share our roadmaps.

I'm new to this journey but whatever help I can offer you is yours for the asking. And those who are further down the road are here for you with warmth and understanding.
While I regret the circumstances that brought you I'm glad you found your way here.

My whole life, I have not been a joiner. I still avoid social media completely except this site.
The best thing I did for myself after my wife died was making myself talk to others who knew what I was experiencing.
My top three were Daily Strength, Hospice grief group, and friends who had lost their spouse. Don't be afraid to open up, It was not in my nature but it really helped.

I know how you feel.

I am sorry for you loss but happy that you found us. My loss is 4months tomorrow. This group has a been a treasure and a life line for me. No one will understand us like the ones who know the pain of this loss. We are here for you and you don't have to do this alone. May your today be better than your yesterday .....

Thank you all

I lost my wife to an anyorizm (I know misspelled) She was only 50 years old and my sole mate. I am lost without her. I need to hear from other me's

I can tell from the responses I have to right site!

This is a difficult journey for all of us and we are all going through a similar experience in our own unique way. It does help to get things out of your brain and know there are others who will understand in a way that not everyone in our lives can. It's good for you to be able to express your feelings. Acknowledging them is the first step toward the rest of this journey. Not sure where it goes next, I'm still working on it. Sometimes I slide back, everyday is different. But I can say I'm still moving on. One step at a time. And time really does change things. Hoping you find some peace.
