"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…"

Profile Information
- About Me:
- 53 yr old, 3 children and two step children. My middle daughter is 28 and lives with me, my oldest daughter is married and my baby is a 24 yr old boy living with his dad. My step daughter and step son livein Wisconsin, I'm very close to my step daugter. I work at a hospital as a phlebotomist.
- About my Loss:
- I just lost my husband Nov. 13th. We would have been married 16 yrs on Dec 6th. He was my soul mate, and my best friend. He loved the outdoors and hunting, both bow and gun, but bow hunting was his favorite. He was getting ready to go out to hunt on a Tuesday morn, I woke him up at 6am, and went back to bed. I work nights. I got up at 10am to go to the bathroom and found him on the floor. He was gone, a massive heart attack, the same thing that took my dad from me in 1997. I'm feeling so alone and my heart aches 24/7, I loved him more than life itself. I have a hard time going to bed, then when I finally do, I have a hard time getting up. I'm o.k. when I'm at work, but at home, I'm just a slug. I can't do anything but cry. I try to hide it when my daughter is at home, but sometimes I can't...like tonight, I'm a mess. I'm feeling like I just don't want to go on anymore. I hurt too bad, and there is really nothing left in life for me anymore. I have no one to share anything with, I'll never feel the love we had again, no one to talk about my day with....the list goes on and on...life means NOTHING to me anymore.

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
My husband
"Thanks, Rosie. (I have memory problems and forgot about this site. I'm just seeing this now. April 6th)"
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

Theresa,
I just read your comments and I'm so sorry for what you have gone through.
I don't like posting too much on the "walls" for privacy reasons for myself. Suffice to say I can relate - best way probably to say it - to how you say you feel at home.
I know how your husband felt about his dog. My family thinks I'm nuts for loving a dog so much. All I know is that I did -- she was there for me every day for 10 years. She was there for me when my father died, when girlfriends (and a wife) came & went, when my sister died. I also know exactly how you're feeling. The exact word I would use is "broken." And I can't imagine ever being happy again. According to everything I've read that is quite normal. I assume you feel OK at work because you are around people and are distracted. Hang in there and keep in touch.
Thanks Theresa. So, your husband left you, then your mother died? Then you remarried & after 16 years lost your second husband? OMG, that is awful. How have you coped??? My dog was a 3 lb Chihuahua - an ex-girlfeind brought her home one day (we lived together) and when we broke up I begged her to let me keep the dog. I'd fallen hard for the little girl. Had her 10 short years and miss her more than words can express.
