I am new to this group. I lost my husband in February 2018 and I am so lost, sad, broken, lonely, etc. This site was recommended to me.

I welcome you to this group Sheila. Here you will find people who has gone through the pain of losing the one person who was the world for us. We all have our own set of circumstances, but are here for each other. Feel free to read any of the existing posts, or vent if you want to do so.

Hi Sheila! Welcome and :hugs: I'm so sorry for your loss. I just joined this site too. My husband was killed about 2 years ago. I've found a lot of support so far and hope you do too.

Hi, I am sorry for your loss. I lost my wife in Feb also. This board has helped me so much. I hope that you find the same support

Just think of it as being thrown into a life boat with a bunch of strangers. We find our commonality in the love we lost and the brokeness it wrought upon us. Plenty of nice people here that get it. Scott

I am just joining too. I feel for your loss. What I remember from the first few months is that I was in a fog. Nothing seemed real. i'll say a prayer for you!

My condolences, Sheila. I'm fairly new to the community too, though I lost Dana over six months ago now. I think you'll find this group to be filled with compassion and understanding. What's clear is there is no single way to grieve. But however you do it, it's right for you. There may not be any words that make things better at this point, but maybe just knowing that you are not alone can provide some comfort. It has for me.

Today I feel grateful. Grateful for my dog Blue (Blue Jean Baby Queen, Prettiest girl I've ever seen). Grateful I'm still kickin'. Grateful I'm finally taking responsibility for my health. Grateful I own my home. Grateful for good friends and neighbors who watch over me. Grateful to God for His everlasting love and patience with me. Grateful I survived the 10 years since my wife of 30 years...
