About Me:
I'm 61 years old have been with my late husband for 30 years
About my Loss:
My husband died on the 3/4/2016 suddenly as of now I still have not had the results of the postmodern or had his property he had with him returned to me.I am very depressed and visualize my late husband around our home all the time I feel all the emotions the other people are feeling . My husband had been binge drinking to cope with a up coming court case where he had to give evidence as to the sexual abuse he suffered from family members.The alcohol made hi aggressive and arguementive . On the day he died he phoned me but I was not fully awake and did not answer his call properly. He would go drink for a few days and turn up early in the morning the day he died the police came and told me he had been found dead from that moment my whole life has been in turmoil I don't want to go on without him but my 2 adult sons have had to cope with their dad's death so I don't want to hurt them more.My son gets married tomorrow and I am dreading everyone saying how sorry they are because I'm so tearful I don't know how I will hold myself together. I have to move soon as I am affected by the spare room charge so within a matter or weeks I will have coped with a death a funeral a wedding and a move.

Oh dear Barbara L in the UK,  on the off chance I decided to click on the new blue boxes your posting of your husbands death and the other things you are going to have to deal with are just traumatizing.  I am so so sorry.  None of us can control space or time.  WE are just here and supposed to live it out.  If I hadn't had my own loss I wouldn't be quite as understanding because I don't think we can.  But your loss is compounded and the vey best you can do is take baby steps.  Little tiny ones getting you to the next half hour.  

Circumstances right now for you are going to be one tough road.  A wedding?  Oh my, just tell yourself it is all about your son and his day.  I can't imagine what else will get you through it.  If it was me I would try to tuck away for as much of it as possible.  It was how I got through a similar situation.  But we all differ so do what you need to do.  And I too had to move quite quickly after my husband death.  I moved around great piles, packed them in boxes and they still sit in storage three years later.  Someday…….

I want to wish for you angel wings tomorrow…….take care………morgan

Being the Other Woman/Other Man

This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
