"It was when they sang "Stand By Me" that I turned it off. I never heard that song presented in that way and suddenly the words had profound meaning. Then I started thinking how much my wife would have loved watching the wedding…"

John T. commented on Jon-Paul Ackerman's group Lost My Spouse..."Today was the Kentucky Derby and my wife loved it. On no other day was she interested in horse racing but on this Saturday, she would sit for hours and watch the story of the horses and be entranced. Lord, such a silly thing for such an…"
John T. commented on Jon-Paul Ackerman's group Lost My Spouse..."Thanks, M Adams. When half the team is gone, it's devastating. When half of who you are is gone, there seems to be no way to deal with it. "
John T. commented on Jon-Paul Ackerman's group Lost My Spouse..."There are times when it's just overwhelming and the pain is intense. Today, for no reason at all, I keep muttering "how could you just die?" If there had been a choice, I know she wouldn't have left me on my…"
John T. commented on Jon-Paul Ackerman's group Lost My Spouse..."All the family went different directions tonight and left me to hand out candy to the kids. Unfortunately, they have a huge liquor cabinet. Year three and even Halloween pulls the rug out from under my feet."
Profile Information
- About my Loss:
- Wife died September, 2014, suddenly and unexpectedly, at age 52. We both were licensed child and family therapists and had a practice for 25 years together. The world fell apart that day and the last two years have been the most difficult time in my life. Although I have been around death a great deal through hospice work and losing my mother and father, I could never imagine anything like this. It's simply beyond description.

Brett Bowman commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Lia, losing your mom is hard enough. When you also lived with her that takes it to a whole different level because you didn't experience the natural separation that other adults do. That's sure what happened to me. I lived with my mom and…"
Lia Lynch commented on Karen's group I miss my Mom!"Thank you everyone. My mom had refused to see doctors for seven years; she feel ill, finally went, was diagnosed with Stage IV metastasized cancer in her throat, lung, and liver, went directly to hospice, and died less than 4 weeks from the initial…"

Geri commented on Katherine Ellis's group Losing Someone to Cancer"Hi Everyone,
This Friday 21st September will be our 27th wedding anniversary. It is my first without my husband and I've noticed my anxiety peaking and I'm back to waking every hour. Has anyone got any advice of how to cope with all the…"
Ofir Rifo replied to bluebird's discussion My husband died, and I will never want to live without him."Thank you Layla Richards. I was very religious before my husband died, Then after his death I started searching why we have to go thru such pains and was looking into everything. Then after reading the Bible, the Torah, the Koran and more religious…"

I was caretaker to both and now I can’t stand being in my own skin. I have the panic feelings when I am alone. So I have been self…"

Losing Someone to Cancer
This is for anyone who has lost somone to cancer. I lost my adopted Mom to breast cancer some years ago. She was everything I could have asked for. She loved me because I was just me. She also loved my family and children as if they were her own.See More
Layla Richards replied to bluebird's discussion My husband died, and I will never want to live without him."That is some great advice Ofir Rifo. Also, bluebird, something that helped me a lot was reading through the thousands of stories contributed by individuals who had a near-death experience or received an after death communication from a passed loved…"
Ofir Rifo replied to bluebird's discussion My husband died, and I will never want to live without him."ANA BECOAH BY ovadia chamama. Miracle prayer even for those who do not believe in anything. It will act as a password and will open the universe who will answer your petition. Please bluebird just try the same way a tried and it worked. Remember you…"
Ofir Rifo replied to bluebird's discussion My husband died, and I will never want to live without him."Bluebird please go to you tube in listen to a song called Ana Becoh by Ovadiada Chamama. This song will act as a password to the universe. You do not need to believe in any religion but It worked for me and I am an agnostic. I lost my husband 21…"
Ofir Rifo replied to bluebird's discussion My husband died, and I will never want to live without him."Hello Bluebird. I always remember you and wonder how you are doing since the last time I wrote to you for the first time when I found this blog. It has been a while and I was hoping by this time you were doing better. Please understand that you will…"
Layla Richards replied to bluebird's discussion My husband died, and I will never want to live without him."So sorry to hear. My heart absolutely breaks for you. I know that you've mentioned suicide many times on here, and I just wanted to let you know that I actually did attempt about 10 months after my fiancé died. Life had literally become…"

Three days ago, my mom died. She was alone when she died -- or, at least, she had no family member present. I'd been to the hospice the morning before, and she'd told me, "I'm going to die soon." All I could do was cry, and tell her I was going to miss her. She told me to stop. I decided to take my leave from work as soon as I could, told her I was going into work to do that. And I did. But she did not wait for me. She died the next morning, and I did not make it there in time.My mother…See More
