"Welcome to the group. I lost my partner on February 5th this year, so it's still pretty raw for me too. Reading through your story really touched a chord with me. Like you, I didn't think I would ever find a group like…"

- About my Loss:
- I lost my husband of thirty years just about five years ago. It has gotten easier to get up in the mornings and even laugh, but I just can't seem to move any further forward and I can't explain it to my family. I still think of him daily and sometimes it is still hard to breath.

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

LESBIAN ..GAY 2 SPIRITED loss and grief
Anyone who has lost their gay partner..soon finds that there may be a few things that are different...such as sorting through things and feeling like an intruder because it is also family stuff etcSee 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

My name is Brenda and I live in Cypress Tx. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It is obviously apparent that you found that grief is a journey not a destination. Each person travels this horrible road in their own way and in their own time. Maybe you also need to know that the way you are feeling is normal. That really meant a lot to me when we lost my father in law. I never thought I would have such a physical reaction - it was as though I had a terrible virus - and it lasted a few days. I read a brochure WHEN SOMEONE YOU LOVES DIES and discovered I was normal - I felt much better. Here is a link to it - http://m.wol.jw.org/en/wol/lv/r1/lp-e/0/19302
It is very good to talk and I understand that you want to get out with other people. But do it in your time - maybe start little with no expectations other than human contact, adult conversation. Or maybe start a journal - if you would like maybe we could meet for lunch sometime. Just know that you are normal and this is your journey to the eventual happiness your husband wished for you.
Everyone on this website is suffering and will listen 24/7 - ((( hugs)))
Your friend,
Brenda
Hello, I am wondering if this is the right place for me. I am very alone with no one to talk to about how i feel, but I am at a point in this horrible long road where i feel like if I don't change something soon I will become just what my husband asked me not to. He made me promise to move on and be happy. Which is a promise i haven't been able to keep. But I am at a point where i think I would like to have another good and kind and loving friend in my life, if I could only be so blessed as to have this happen to me again in one lifetime. I guess I am looking for someone to talk to who may understand me at this stage in my life. I hurt and love him everyday, but sometimes I think I am brave enough to venture out and meet some people, but then this fear overtakes me and I crawl back into my own little world and fold up. I am honestly wanting to be around people again and try to have a bit of a life again. I just don't know how. This is the question, how? Anyway this is what makes me wonder if this is where I need to be to try to accomplish trying to live again.
