Rose what terrible blows you've sustained. I really feel for you and you still took the time to respond to me. And Elynn too. We are all suffering.

Rose,  I'm sorry for your loss.    I was married for 41 years ....always hoped to reach our 50th, but never did.  Joe has been gone since september, 2015....seems like yesterday.    That's great that you have family around you.   We can only take one day at a time.   I'm just now learning to Remember all of the good times we had.

I am sure you are numb Rose. My gosh.  I believe I have not gotten past the shock to truly grieve.  My husbands diagnosis came out of the blue and then he was critically ill for most of it. We were fighting it with all we had until it was no use and called in Hospice.  He survived 7 months from diagnosis to passing. I travel for work and have for 30 years. I would call my husband each and every night.  Now in a hotel I feel that void and talking to one of the kids isn't the same.

I have had a very difficult year in 2017.  In June my beloved nephew committed suicide. One week later my lifelong girlfriend''s grandson had a tragic accident and died while hiking. My husband passed away in October and on Christmas Eve my son in law's cousin, who I consider dear to me, committed suicide.  Also lost my dear cat and dog during the same year. I have not had time to grieve one when another came along.  I am numb.

Bruce: Thank you for your advice.  You know after being with someone for so many years that the little things are the things that get to me. I still work even though I am 70 and Peter called me every day at work at 10:00 am to ask how my ride in was, or how am I feeling, or how did I sleep and most often what do you want for dinner Love?  This is the hardest time for me at work because I am there everyday at 10:00 am and the phone does not ring.  I am very lucky to work with people that understand that some days are harder than others and they do talk to me about what is going on and how I am handling things. 

Comment by Rose C Gianopoulos on January 22, 2018 at 3:55pm

Marjorie I  understand what you mean that you are living for your children.  I have 4 daughters and 4 grandchildren but I also feel as if I can not live the rest of my life without Peter.  We were together for 51 years and I feel as if we were cheated because he battled cancer, kidney and lung, for 10 years.  He came out of everyone clean from cancer and died because he was too weak to fight the pneumonia.

Rose I'm retired and face the rest of my life alone without my husband and have 3 grown up boys I have to live for but I just feel I can't do it.

Comment by Rose C Gianopoulos on January 22, 2018 at 6:48am

Thank you Linda.   I am so lost without him.  I still work full time but it is taking every bone in my body to get out of bed and get going.  At home I am paralyzed.  It takes me days to do the simple things like changing my bed linens or emptying the dishwasher.  I do have a strong support system at home and knew I needed something more. That is why I searched out this group.  Thank you for welcoming me. 

Comment by Linda Engberg on January 22, 2018 at 6:40am

Welcome Rose,

I am very sorry for your loss, it has been 5 years for me and not a day goes by that I don't miss him. He was my whole life, all I do now is try to carry on the best way I know how, but my heart will never heal.

Comment by Bruce Armstrong on January 20, 2018 at 8:58pm

Rose-Lost my wife after 54 years one day at a time and it's ok to cry try to talk to friends tell the same story to them how you feel they do not know learn to say no to things -small things will overwhelm you and you will forget things after 7 months-I count my better time in hours not in days yet it is a long road so lonely take care of yourself and your not alone with this hurt

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
