KIM,

     I'm sorry to hear about your liss.   My husband was on disability for a good part of our 40 years together....and I worked also.  I have no regrets..only wish that he were still here.   Joe was the backbone of our home.  He had wisdom that I could only dream of  having.  I miss joe's personal touch too. He always knew what to say, and what to do,  in our best interest .

This is my first time here. I recently lost my husband suddenly and unexpectedly in April. I'm not sure how this forum works but I'm looking for grief group support. I'm lost and suffering so bad with the heartache. We were together 18 years! I have 3 children to raise on my own now and I'm struggling just keeping afloat for them and myself mentally! It's only going on 6 weeks for me this Wednesday coming up and I don't know how to continue going on without him when he is all I've known. I don't know if I could live another 5, 10 or more years without him

Jackie,

   I know that your Shirl is still in your heart.    Whatever you do, remember that God is in charge.....He doesn't want you to go through anything you can't handle.....He will get you through this....all we can do is remember our loved ones for who they are.   Remind yourself of the good things you did together.   I know, that's easier said than done.   It will take some time, but you will get there.   About hopes and dreams.....all of us probably feel the same....and that's OK to feel that way.   God has given me new hopes and dreams, (which incidentally, include the wonderful man who went to be with the Lord before me.)   I find comfort in knowing that Joe is still with me.  He taught me so much during the 41 years I was with him!

I'm sure your right, and Bisto bit better thank god, it's just at the moment I feel like I am loosing everything. All our plans hopes and dreams gone, just emptiness and loneliness. I can't remember her voice even. It's so hard x

Jackie,

I don't know if your Shirl or my husband still exist, but I wouldn't assume that they don't because of your dog being ill. If they do still exist, I think they help when they can, but I doubt they have control over everything.  Of course you have the right to believe however/whatever you choose; I am just trying to offer another perspective and perhaps a bit of hope.

Comment by Jackie cooke on May 24, 2017 at 3:07am
I feel so alone, I don't think Shirl is with me. Everything is going wrong, Bisto our dog who was her world is poorly. I have to take her to the vets by myself, I'm terrified in case it's serious. She is my only reason for living now. Shirl would never let anything happen to her, so I know she's not here. Where is she when I need her the most

Morgan, I feel exactly the same.

Kim, I'm glad this site is turning out to be good/helpful for you.
Comment by morgan on May 23, 2017 at 9:46pm

Does he remember me?  Does he know how much I hurt?   Why can't he come and get me?  I don't want any more of this life.  I'm tired and over it.....Please dear, come get me.

Kim, I am so sorry for your loss.   Your husband was very young.    You are right in saying that every day is a challenge.  I was used to facing  challenges together  with joe, but I have to face them alone now.   I'm sure the pain will ease up, but it will always be there.   True, ....when others say that "he's looking down and smiling"  at me.  But I'd rather have him here physically,  not as a virtual image.

Kim,
We understand, as well as anyone can. It's much the same for many of us. (((((Hugs)))))

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
