About Me:
I am here.

That's what I keep telling myself anyway. I am 29. I work with preschoolers. I was the happiest I've ever been until a year ago ago. My whole life changed in an evening, and now I'm trying to figure out how to muddle together some sort of life.
About my Loss:
Evan was amazing. He said he knew he loved me in 8th grade. We didn't find each other until 12 years later. We spent 9 months together and it forever changed me. I felt more comfortable with him (and he me) than anyone I've ever met.
He passed away unexpectedly, April 14th, 2011. I found him in our bed when I got up for work.
It's a loss that I can't comprehend.

Mark was married for 12 years before we met. She stole thousands of dollars from his father, cheated on Mark, and left him devestated, yet she got 12 years with him and I got barely 8 months. How is that fair?

Machaela,

I met the love of my life last December and lost him suddenly on July 14th. There are no words to describe that loss we feel. I feel robbed. I feel cheated. I can't understand why God would put that man in my life, the one who meant everything to me and I should have had a whole life with, then suddenly rip him from me without warning. I try to look for meaning and a reason, and  there is none. Sometimes I am selfishly jealous of people who lost a spouse that they had years with, because at least that had that time and those memories, and what did we get? We got a taste of true happiness and then the biggest pain we've ever felt. I feel for you and I know, to a degree, your pain. I wish you well. That's all we can do for each other.

Rhonda

Hello, Machaela. I am sorry for the loss of your loved one. I too, lost my husband on april 28, the worst day of my life. My husband was murdered by a complete stranger over a parking space. The nights for me are also the worst of all. I cant get used to the idea of being on my own and without him next to me. How can you go on and move forward without him, when he was 100% part of my daily routine for so long. We had a son, which I try to be strong for, but it is just so hard to live with this "new" life. I so desperately want my old life back.

The love of my life passed away in a sudden tragic work accident 2 1/2 wks ago and I am hanging by a thread only because we have 2 kids, one a baby, that I have to take care of. We were together 6 years and planned to spend the rest of are lives together. I feel like I have no idea what's really going on, it is incomprehensible, like you said. God bless you

I'm sorry for your loss and your pain. Your Evan and my 20 yr old daughter Kasey passed on the same day.

I'm so, so sorry for your loss.  Your precious Evan died on my brother's birthday, who also passed away this past March 13th.  

 

It's all so hard to understand.  We are all struggling.

 

Good luck, and keep contacting others who can understand you.

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
