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.
I have not posted in a long while even though I still come here often and read.
Two years ago this evening I watched my Charlie take his last breath I still miss him more than seems possible.
The people in my "surface" life (friends, family) have definitely moved on. I have heard from no one today except widowers and widows I have met on this site. I still have a great NEED to talk about him, our life and how I am feeling now. I think this may be the only place where that is possible.
I had felt that I had nothing to add to our discussions but I know that I personally still need to participate (for my own sake) and I want to try again to be a good member of this group.

I'm at 7 months in my grief, and I already know what it is to want to talk about a loved one when no one else seems to want that. I'm glad you still read on this site, and I hope you will also start to post again. I have found immeasurable comfort in knowing that people here are always willing to listen.

2 years is a hard time, its actually worse then the first year in some ways. I am at 2 1/2 and its still very hard and still unbelievable at times. Friends & family do leave, and we are left alone again. I just hate this new life I have. I realized too late just how much I counted on my husband. I never thought he would be gone.
I don't get to talk about my husband very much. My son & DIL hardly mention him, maybe its too painful, I don't know. Sometimes I wonder.......................was he really even here?
Stick around this time, just talk about whats on your mind, we will listen. We are all in the same boat.
Hugs,

In ant tell you how comforting and supportive this site has been for me. No one understands like the people here. I hVe visited several sites and this is the best. My husband died from cancer 9 months ago. I miss him so and hate thinking about a lonely future ahead of me for years to come. I have no children, a few good friends and a dear older brother. I'm healthy so far, but I hate to think about when I'm not and there won't be anyone there.
I believe widows/widowers need each other. OR Maybe I should clarify, "most" widows/widowers need each other. There is a sensitivity there that cannot be found in other people. Sometimes I think this DS site is better than live support groups. It's open 24 hrs, 7 days a week.
