- About Me:
- 44 yo widow after 6 years of marriage.
- About my Loss:
- I was married to the man I adored for 6 years and knew him for 15 years. He was sick for about 5-6 months before he died. I feel so alone and lonely, even though I have family and friends. My 25 yo son even moved in with me because he was worried about me. I thought I was doing ok and by month 3 it really started to hit me and know at almost 5 months I cry now more than ever.

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

Melinda,
I saw your post the other day and I just want to say how sorry I am for the loss of your husband. I lived close to Pittsburgh for part of my life (childhood) and felt a tug of kindred spirit.
Your 25 year old son has the right idea. You will need support for awhile going forward and what that says about how you and your husband raised him that he cares that much is such a gift. Lean on him.
You will probably have many more phases of thinking you are doing ok and then it will hit again but that is part of this grieving process. Nothing you'll routinely see, more like just a bolt out of the blue but expect it. It will continue to happen for awhile.
I am going to be staying in the Pittsburgh area starting this spring through the fall and if you would like maybe we could say hello over a cup of coffee. In the meantime take baby steps and let your son be there for you. You are lucky he is……..
