It does not get easier, it gets harder and harder. When you notice things that they did that nobody else does, when you eat food they used to like, when your children make faces like them... It's torture. I desperately try to hold on to everything that reminds me of her. The only hope and strength we can have is knowing that this won't last forever. We will be reunited one day very soon...I'm sorry for all the pain you all have to endure... especially the women who've lost their husband.

Zell,

 

Thank you for sharing. It was exactly the same with me. I came home from work to find him in bed, ice cold, extremeties black and blue and a foam coming out of his mouth. God knows I wish I could get that picture out of my head but I'm afraid it is engrained there forever (I am however glad that is was me and not my 8 year oold that went in the bedroom first so I was able to shield him from seeing daddy at all like that). We had been married for almost 12 years and together for almost 14. Before him I thought that I would never find anyone to love me and vice versa, then he came into my life. I finally felt complete and happy. I knew that God had sent him specifically for me. We've been through so much together (ups and downs) and that only brought us closer. He has been with me my entire adult life until now (met him when I was 18 and he just passed in October). I really feel like a zombie just going through the motions of day to day living and putting a mask on of strength and comfort for our son but my comfort is no longer here. As I have said, my son is the only thing getting me through this life- if not for him I probably would never get out of bed and just be consumed with grief. I am sorry that you had your love taken so soon in your relationship that you don't have as many good memories to grab and hold onto for dear life- that kind of helps me a little. Thank you for your kind words and I hope you can find comfort and solice in your loss as well. We are all here for each other.

Please someone tell me that eventually it  does get easier. I know it will always be with me, especially being the one who found the body, but I just feel like the emotion of happiness has been ripped from me and I am now just existing as I move through this world without my husband.

Dec 6 2014 God took my soul mate on Dec 27th we would have , celebrated our 28th anniversary instead I spent it alone crying and wondering why God took him from me we met when we were 12 and 13 we spent our youth together and we were suppose grow old together it was six weeks after we first went to the doctor bc he was not feeling good that he was gone and I was alone sad upset depressed I don't sleep well any more or why else would I be up this hour of the night I miss him so much

Thank you for your support. Yes it is really hard when my personal safe space (everyone has their space where they feel absolutley comfortable and nothing can touch them) was my husband's arms. I hope everyone here can find their own new safe space as I have to. Prayers for everyone.

Hi Jon-Paul,

I also lost my perfect wife In February of 2013. One thing that I loved so much about her was the way she loved me. That made loving her the so very easy. She was always doing something for me. Thinking of me in some way. Leaving me little notes. That would say" I love you more today". Getting me treats at the store, like peanuts, gatorade and pretzels. That she knew I loved. She was smart and a helpmate, friend and lover.  Now I and just devastated, heart broken and lonely with out her. Hang in there. I know it hard.

Thank you for sharing Karen. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm dead inside without my wife who also passed three months ago. I can't imagine how hurt she'd be if it was I who passed and her left to deal with the grief.

Losing a spouse is so difficult. Especially the longer that you were with them and the stronger of a connection your had with them. My husband and I were together for 13.5 years, married for 11.5 years. He was not only my husband he was truly my best friend. It has now been 3 months since I found him passed ( a memory I wish I could just wipe from my brain) and whenever things happen my first reaction is still "oh wait until I tell my husband, he is not going to believe this" (or some form of that) and then it hits, I don't have him to tell things to anymore. I am so lost and only at 32 years old I feel like I am just floating aimlesssly through this world- the only thing keeping me going is I have a 9 year old to raise and take care of- of course it has become exponentially dificult with the loss of my husband- but I am trying day by day and right now that is all I can do. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers- I am very glad that I found this sight where I can open up about how I feel to those who truly do understand. Thank 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

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More

Triggers Continue to Surface

Late February is a challenging time of year for me.  Jen’s birthday is the 23rd and serves as an annual reminder of all of the potential that was lost…Her’s (mainly), mine, the world’s honestly.  This year she would be 52…It is increasingly hard to imagine, through all of the iterations possible, what she could have become, what was to be her (significant) impact on the world.That being said, things, emotions, have largely settled down since I committed a potential version of what could have…See More
