Let me start by saying I am so sorry for your loss but you have found the right website. I lost my husband of 33 years suddenly from a heart attack and let me say this, I was where you were in October and I thought the same thing. But now 8 months has passed I am glad I didn't sell our house. They are filled with memories and if I had sold our house when I first lost him, I know I would have come to regret it. We also have a daughter and she is 33 and is on her own, and one day I will pass it to her.
I can't tell you what to do but I can say if you can don't make any big decisions until after a year. Your thoughts will be a little clearer. I am glad I did what I did, and I know in your heart you will come to make the right decision. When he first passed I found those memories to much and I couldn't bare the thought of living in our house. Today I am glad I have memories to hold dear to my heart and memories is what gets me through my days...and memories will get me through today.
May God give you strength to live day by day and second by second, as that is all you can do, but know this drink lots of water as they will help with the tears, and eat even if it is a little to keep your strength. Cry when you want as I still cry, talk out loud as that helps as well. All I can say and I know right now it is hard to believe and I was once where you were, it does get better with time. I was told this when I joined last October and I can promise you it gets a little easier with time. Message me if you would like to talk
God bless you, and hugs to you

I am so sorry for your loss. This group does make me feel less alone in my experience. I have family and friends around me but not too many people I know are widowed. Thank you for sharing your story. Your post reminded me of not getting too far ahead of myself and giving everything time. I have always been the type of person who wanted to fix everything and be organized. All the uncertainty and unknowns are hard to live with but your advice helps. Thank you

I would love to get out from under this old house. I did okay those first few months but EVERYTHING seems to go wrong and I am losing any control I may have had. After 7 months, no word from pension group, no money from old girlfriend who got retirement pay, lots of credit cards wanting money and threatening. YESTERDAY, the dishwasher poured water into the kitchen (and I had spent 1000 on plumber in past month) then son dropped/lost my phone. Those who said they would help and come over have not. And, I never felt good about accepting help even now that I so badly need it. Had to call 911 since no non-emergency numbers worked, no one answered when I called out back door, and water kept pouring out. Did find water vac in the dark in the shed. Cried through most of church. Boss wants me to work and I can not find babysitter's number since lost phone. SIGH.

We rent an apartment. I have to admit, it is nice to NOT to have his ghost around every corner (while he was hospitalised from an accident he never recovered from, the boys & I moved to a new one).

Thank you Anne8 and mom09 for sharing what you are going through. mom09-yesterday and today were pretty similar to your day. I had a flood too and lots of financial issues to deal with and one stressful problem after another . I really started to lose it . Finally I called a friend and she met up with me. I cried on her shoulder a little bit and she even came to the grocery store just to keep me company . Hopefully we will endure all of this and come out stronger on the other side . I think we'll need to lean on each other and our friends and family until we can stand on our own.
