Hello everyone...
I just lost my husband on August 27th after almost 15 years of marriage, we worked together and he was my best friend. He has been sick since 2011 but his death was fast and a huge shock to me and his family. I know that the grief hasn't even hit me yet because I have blocked everything out and haven't allowed it to slip in yet but I also know when it hits me I'm going to need some serious support, I hope there are people out there that understand what I'm going through,..its hard having family members just looking at you with pity but they don't have any idea what you are going through. The night is the worst! Guess that's why I'm up at 12:40am. Even my cats are traumatized. Need to hear from people who understand.

I lost my husband in August. He was 39 and I 36. I know what you are feeling. Especially when you said you could be in a room full of family and friends and not feel more alone. I wish I had some great wisdom for you, but I am needing some myself. After the first few months, the grief took on whole new level after the initial shock. I wonder at what point will it stop getting worse and become more bearable. My husband was my best friend also, so I understand the immense pain you are feeling. We were together for 2 and a half years, so our time was just not long enough. But I am so thankful that I was blessed to love and be loved by someone so wonderful and to have had the opportunity to live in that special happiness for the time that we were given. He will always be a part of me as your husband will always be a part of you. Many people can search for a lifetime and never find what we had. I just miss him so terribly that it hurts. Hang in there. Don't second guess the signs that you experience. I believe they are ways that we're shown that our loved ones are OK and are observing us and loving us from a far. Dreams are gifts too. Write them down and refer to them later. I have found that comforting.
