Hi Martha;
I'm George AKA BrokenGeo, My wife died of cancer on June 7/13 after 50 years of marriage So I'm part of the class of 2012-2014(?). I'm still here once in a while to see if any of the old (my) group post anything. I use to be quite active here but have now I guess, mellowed considerably and am just along for the ride. This (particularly the old) forum was a life saver and I hope it continues to be for everyone that comes here.
Best Regards to All! Geo.

Hi Martha. I am David D, aka; d2w. I recently posted (Hurt so bad) about my wife, Joanne of 34 years. She passed away suddenly on December 27, 2018. My heart and head are having this conversation: I will always love you Joanne and she is gone. God willing, I will be with her one day again.

Hi ....My Husband,passed Nov.2016....an yes I have posted once or twice,but I am more of a reader than a writer.

Hello, I am a new person here. My husband died of undetermined causes, but it may have been a respiratory failure, just last month. He was also a caregiver for me. I hope to be a positive contributor to this group, I have lost most of my close family now, but my husband's loss is much more profound and devastating. I am now terrified of losing our daughter!

Hi Martha,
I too lost my husband when he was only 56. I totally agree with George - the old forum was a life saver for me as well; he passed in December 2014. I depended on it for clarity and support so many times. What you are doing Martha as a CL is literally a life-line that we all need so desperately when nothing makes sense. I no longer come here as often but when I feel that darkness come over me I do log in.

Hello, I lost my partner of over 20 years to a sudden heart attack 02/11/14 and lost my almost 17 year old cat three months before Mike died suddenly. This site saved my sanity. I don't post often but check in daily. Thank you for being there Martha! ((Hugs))

Hi Martha....I am Susan/Peepsmom. I just joined yesterday. I lost my husband on 9/5/18 and then my Mother on 9/11/18. My husband I and were together for 35 years. Several of the posts mention "the old forum" so I'm guessing something has changed along the way. I am hopeful I will find some of the support that the others have found. With family in other states, I hate to burden close friends, so I'm looking forward to the interaction with others here, and discussing their experiences in hopes that it helps me through these very difficult days.

Hi Martha,
This is Lon. I lost my wife of 50 years, plus 3 years that we went together before we got married in June, 2018. I also lost my mother in December, 2018.

I am going to make a separate post so that anyone wanting to reply to me can do so under that post.

Hi,
I am Renie and my husband passed away unexpected in 2016. I work on getting stronger everyday and feel like life is getting better;however, thinking about him sometimes brings me to tears.

Thank you

Hey. Justin. Been around since June 2018, when I lost my wife at 41. We were married for 13 years. I mainly read in this group and use the site to write journals and talk to a few friends. Anyone want to talk, I'm around. Just friend me.

Hi Martha,
I’m SHEILA. I lost my husband of 34 years a little over a year ago to multiple health issues. He suffered a three year downward spiral until his poor body could no longer handle it. I was his caretaker and was devistated when he died. I am slowly returning to normalcy with much therapy. I come here once in awhile to read and sometimes comment if I feel I can offer help or support to someone.

Hi All,

Hello,

I'm Duchess, and I lost my Tom 13 months ago. It has been by far the worst experience of my life. Still trying to figure out why I'm still here because I no longer feel a purpose without him.

I rarely post any more. but I still read this site often.

Hi Martha,

This is myhusbandisanangel
I lost my wonderful and loving soulmate and husband Gary of 33 years October 18, 2016 to a heart attack. He was only 56 years old. I found him in the early morning, I tried to save him and the firefighters and paramedics tried to save him. He was taken to the hospital but did not survive. He was put on life support as his last request was to be a organ donor. He gave his lungs to a double lung transplant patient. His final gift of life. I didn't say good bye but I did say "I will see you later". I miss him every single day. He was the love of my life. He had the most beautiful blue eyes. He was handsome, and I loved his laugh and smile and the way he hugged me I wish I could feel that again I miss that so much. I know one day when it is my time I will join him as he always told me he would wait for me. He has never broken a promise. I love you my sweet sweet Gary.

I am on here once in a while.
