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.
Sometimes I think when my father and aunt dies that I am going to just leave roam for a couple of years and when I'm done I might return and I might not. I am 32 and never really sewed my oats. I wouldn't have any close friends or family keeping me here. I lost my wife I'm not happy here maybe I could make a new life somewhere else so why shouldn't I

you have no children?..... if I were you, I'd go for it while you are still young.

That's reasonable. Not sure what kind of work you do, but you can find a job anywhere you live. Not sure how long your wife's been gone, but as I said when I sent you the friend request, I've been where you are right now! Any major decisions need to be put on hold right now though. Heck, By the time your dad & aunt pass you might be in a place where you want to stay there & raise your son around people who knew his mama. Your wife sounds like she was a brave young woman, who put your son ahead of her own welfare! (He doesn't EVER need to know about your request) Just let him know how much she loved him!!! Take it easy, breathe, vent, come here & read the posts & make comments. I'm sorry you are going through all of this, but the wonderful people on this site will help carry you through.

I am sorry that you have joined this club. You are very young. I agree that you should not make any decisions before a year. Give yourself time. Allow yourself to grieve and learn this new life. Praying that you are feeling better today.

My son was taken away from me and I only get to see him Once a month. My sister n law saw That I had my hands full with caring for my wife and dad and aunt. My son was premature and yes I needed help so she asked if she could help take care of my son. This is where I screwed up. I said yes because I just thought she was trying to help. Well after about 3 months my son was in better shape my wife was feeling a little better and thought yeah he can come home now and we can be a family. Nope The bitch went to the court house in Murry KY and filed for custody. So for the last year and a half me and my wife were fighting for custody of our son and I was not a good representative for my self. All I could do in the court room was cry because I knew how much this was killing Holly and I think that that's what made her give up. This is a very sore spot for me and it needs to be addressed so I'm posting this message on the main topic board
