Widows & Widowers Support Group
This community is dedicated to those who have lost a husband, wife, or partner. Anything is open for discussion here, with the hope that we can focus on grief, bereavement, life after loss, and continuing on after a great loss.
The house is decorated, the table is set, the traditional food has been cooked. My sons are home, something that always fills my heart with joy. All should be right with the world.
This year is different. I sat down last night and wrote my darling a christmas letter and signed his card which will go in his stocking. Only he won't be here for the first time in 46 years. In the two months since I lost him I thought I had felt the worst pain I possibly could. Not true. It is reaching heights I never new existed.
How does a person manage to live with that much heartbreak? And yet I read that pain in every message posted. My heart breaks for all of us.
So I'm offering up a prayer for all of us, that we can be blessed with a moment, just a small moment where we can feel a quiet sense of peace....especially during these special holidays...and that that quiet moment of peace will give us the strength to get through whatever lies ahead.
Wishing all the wonderful, warm and caring people here, many blessing during this holiday season and through out the New Year. Thank you for all the love and comfort and support you give each and every day...even when your own heart is broken in a million pieces.
Blessings,
Sharon

Thank you for your prayer. Just knowing all of you and knowing that you are here when I need you, gives me "a quiet sense of peace." Thank you all for that.
We shall all make it through this morass and will never forget those who carried us when we were just too sad, lonely, tired or depressed to go on. This pain will heal, like our physical ones do, but never completely. It's okay, though.
Things have already gotten better for me (after 10 1/2 months) and I can see some light at the end of the tunnel. Pain still comes and goes and I don't expect nor want it to ever go away entirely. But, it's manageable, now, or perhaps I simply have learned what to expect and accepted it. Either way, life goes on and it really isn't as horrible as I expected.
Love you all and wish nothing but good things for each of you. We've paid our dues and now all have earned the right to happiness. So, I wish you all, all the happiness you can gather in 2013.
Hugs,

It will soon be Wednesday and that is fine with me. I just wish the TV people would remember that there are so many people alone on the holidays and put something good on all those 100 channels.
I wish you all a calm and restful evening. I toast to you all! (Raising my beer to you)
Peace to you
