I too wish you didn't have to find your way here. I identify with your feeling alone even around our children and grands. That was very loving and sweet of your grand daughter. Read and post here. It doesn't…"

I hardly know what to say other than you have come to a place where we all know the anguish and heartache that you are feeling. Death is hard enough to stomach but to have your husband murdered is beyond my imagination. Although I…"

Joseph, I'm so sorry for your loss. I feel the same way you do. There is no normal for us anymore, we have to learn to live day by day. At times, I wonder at what point will we give up? I should have been the one to go first, I have 1 kidney, arthritis and other problems. He was diagnosed and within a month, he was gone. It isn't fair, I was told I was the strong one in our marriage and that he went first because he couldn't have survived without me, how do I learn to survive without him??? I have survivors guilt so bad, so many what if's and I should have's. Nothing will change the outcome though, he will still be gone. I hope you can learn to cope without your spouse, like I said, day by day.
Your words are beautiful Joseph and very appreciated. I will be thinking about you and sending lots of love today as you scatter the ashes of your sweet man.
I look forward to staying in touch with you. Today will be difficult but just keep breathing and embrace the love that everyone around you today will be sharing.
Joseph, I am so very sorry for the loss of your beloved Jerry. I also lost my husband to cancer and he went too quickly too (he passed away in August - we were told in June that he would have 3 to 5 years and he lasted just over 2 months). I'm sure you are still in shock and quite numb given how recently it happened. While I'm sorry that you have suffered a horrible loss like we all have, it's really good that you've found your way here. I think you'll find comfort here. Everyone is wonderful and understanding because we are all going through it too.
I tell this to everyone and I hope it helps you as much as it's helped me. When I'm not sure I can go on, I just keep hearing Dorie's voice in my head (from Finding Nemo)...."just keep swimming... just keep swimming...." Just getting up in the morning is a huge victory each day, hang in there. All the hugs to you Joseph
