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.
From FB page of Missing Loved Ones:
A Message to our Friends and Family:
"I am a griever; that does not mean I have a disease.
It means that I miss and love someone who has died.
Let me grieve at my own pace; my reality has forever changed.
Do not judge me nor feel it is your obligation to tell me to 'move on'
or 'get over it.' Getting over it is not an option. With time, I will do
my best to move forward, one step in front of the other. When I
need you.....just be there!"
I saw this today on FB and thought it might be good for DS friends today.

Only thing like that, I have had, is my parents telling me I am "torturing" myself by looking at her pics and listening to her recorded voice.
Hugs and wishing all a peaceful day. xo, D
I feel blessed that none of our friends or family have been stupid enough to tell me to move on or get over my husband. Everyone who knew us knew we were each other's world. Where one of us was so was the other. Now that world has been altered forever. I will learn to live without him by my side but I will never move on to a place where he does not hold the biggest piece of my heart
