I am so sorry Alice, That was terrible to have to go through. It will get easier as time goes by, just not fast enough. We will all miss our husbands/wives forever.
Hugs to you,
JoAnn

Wow, you have my sympathy, that is tragi

Sorry Alice......twelve hours have passed since you wrote this. I hope your day was peaceful. You are in my thoughts. Marilyn

I truly believe that he is watching over you and loving you. I am so sorry that you lost him the way that you did. My husband always felt that everyone had a time to go and no matter what you did to prevent it, if it was your time, it was your time and you couldn't change that. I also believe that we are all interconnected here and we don't know what we do or say that might be what someone else needs, kind of like a great big spider web going on and on. People would come up to my husband and thank him for something he did for them when they were younger and how much it made an impact on their lives. He didn't know it at the time and I have kids come back to me later tell me the same thing and I don't remember some of them because I had them in school when they were smaller. You have a purpose here, just like your husband did and you may not know it ,or ever will, but you need to go on and live your life to the fullest in honor of your husband, who can't. Sending you a heartfelt hug!!

Alice, you are in my thoughts throughout this trying time.

Oh Alice, what a horribly tragic story! I'm so very sorry sweetie. My heart goes out to you. I cannot believe something like this can even happen!

My husband died 12 days before our 1st anniversary. It was a 2nd marriage for both of us -- we'd both been in long-term BAD marriages. We couldn't believe how happy we were -- and then 5 months after we got married, we found out he had terminal cancer. So -- he worked as long as he could, and then had to stop, and I nursed him the rest of the time until his death.

He was my friend, lover, soul mate -- someone I never thought I'd ever meet but God put him in my path for a reason. I'm so grateful. He's been gone for 11 years -- and while I miss him terribly, I've survived. We ALL do somehow, whether it's strength, or stubbornness or faith in God. But we survive and go on just as our loved ones' would want us to, and we get on with life. Yes, we're lonely and some of us even find new mates. But for me, I'll always be HIS wife until it's time for me to join him. That's the stubbornness in me. ;) God bless.

Alice, you are in my heart today as I remember your story and sadness. I will be experiencing the 3rd anniversary of my loss of Joe in December. It seems so unreal. Like, how did this happen to ME??? Is it really for sure real??? I again experience denial and anger. I try to deal with it in as short a time and get on with my day. But, as you seem to say, it will be a sadness in our hearts forever. I, like you, will never forget, never feel OK with what happened, but I submit to reality. The good thing is that we have each other here and we KNOW what each person feels. Best wishes for a peaceful day today. You are strong. You have overcome many aspects of your devastating loss.

I'm so sorry for you Alice. It's been a year and a half since I lost my husband. It was sudden and unexpected, like you. There will always be sadness and missing them forever.
May God Bless
Love and prayers
Linda
