Hello Mary,
Thank you for so much for reaching out to me and saying these words of comfort and support. Your message was very touching, and I felt understood and supported. This forum is so wonderful for people like us. We can share our grief and true feelings without fear of being judged and then friends reach out with understanding and compassion. Having friends empathize with you helps take the edge off of the raw pain. So thank you again. Sending you prayers and wishes for healing and peace.
Hugs back, Trina
I realized yesterday, as I had to call in sick, that I miss him more and the pain is getting greater in time (8.5 months). Yes, I too, say to myself, each day, Hey I am one day closer to being with Kevin, but I am 49--I just hope I go soon, only my daughter keeps me here.
Barbara, you said going through each day makes it closer to being with your husband.I know what you mean the intensity of the crying gets so bad I don't know if I can go on.It seems we all go through similar situations and I guess thats what makes this site so helpful. God bless you.
Hi everyone, somehow I couldn't get on line with you all. but now I guess the computer resolved it self.Oct 4th my husband will be gone 6 months.I feel worse now than I did before.Everyone says it takes time.I realize now personally I didn't have enough time with my best friend.We did every thing together and had lots of fun.I miss him terribly.
Just passed the 8 month mark of losing my soulmate. Still cry almost every day. It doesn't get easier, as the memories come, it hurts worse and worse to remember how we loved each other. Prayers for everyone on here as we go through life without our life.
Hi All,
I haven't posted here for about two months even though once in a while I read the latest posts. The reason that I was not participating is that I faced another very difficult situation--- not even close to losing a beloved spouse--but it was pretty rough. I sold our dream house last month. Selling the house was saying a final goodbye to Joseph's memories in the house that we both loved. Selling the house meant that I had to part with 90-95% of Joseph's belongings. I either sold or donated his clothes, shoes, CDs, videos, cameras, music equipment, and hundreds of miscellaneous big and small things that Joseph owned and used. Only his books were saved: he had willed them to his nephew who came from Seattle and took them.
All the while I was giving away or selling Joseph's earthly possessions I found myself asking for his forgiveness at having to give his things away. Intellectually I knew that his things, especially his clothes and shoes, were going to needy people, and that it's a good outcome to a sad reality, but emotionally it was one of the hardest things that I've ever done in my life. I am glad that I am done with that phase. I'll never have to do this again. There will be other difficult things over the course of my life that I will have to face, but not this. It has left me emotionally and physically drained and bereft.
Hugs, Trina
