Alas, time DOES NOT heal all wounds. Perhaps it heals most wounds, but not the loss of one's soulmate, the love of their life. Those people who say this, don't know any better. Either they don't understand what a soulmate is, or they never experienced the death of their precious spouse/partner.

Hugs to you, Linda and bluebird.

Here I am at a another Holiday Season coming up. All it is, is my six Christmas without my beloved Husband. I was always told time will make things better, I guess these people never knew what a true soulmate is. I feel the same way I did six years ago and it will never get better for me. All I do is hope that I will never awaken again and join him. Most people just don't get it.

Hi Alexis,

Loved reading her book, after 5 years found this book more down to earth that the grief never goes away

Linda,
I am currently reading that book and am finding it to be helpful. I feel like I can identify with the author and appreciate the fact that she acknowledges that this sucks.

Hello Everyone,

I just finished the book "It's OK that your're not OK by Megan Devine. It really helped me to realize that this forum is the only place I find where I can share my grief with others and not be criticized. I am so thankful for everyone of you.

God Bless Everyone One of You.

Hi Jim

I'm so sorry for the pain and suffering your going though and can only imaging what life is like for you.

I also lost my wife of 25 years in December last year.

I am still pushing though the rut of life in most ways.

i am fortunate in some ways to have two children that need my support on a daily basis.

I also struggled to find something positive to do.

I have found these forums a big help and have and have recently joined a support group for widowers.

i don't know that there is one thing that works for every one. every one is going to have that little thing that makes a big difference.

for me it was the feeling of loneliness, when out of the circle of my wife's and my friends about 2 people kept in contact.

i felt alone and abandoned and angry.

i realised after  talking to my sister that they weren't avoiding me because my wife has died.  They were avoiding me because they didn't know how or were afraid to relate to someone who is in so much pain.

after coming to this conclusion, i didn't feel so isolated and angry. 

I now actively seek my friends out and and try to be the best i can for my self and children.

i also think for me getting out and going for walks, go for a swim when time permits helps me a lot.

It is still a daily struggle to continue to push though, and i think if it wasn't for my kids depending on me, i may roll up in a ball and cry but i cant.

i wish you all the support and best for you in this trying time.

best regards Monty

My wife and best friend of 33 years died from cancer recently.  We have a daughter.  I just wonder how people find anything happy and positive each day?  I started a journal where I try to write down little things that were good or positive.  I joined a local support group and that has been good too.  I know there is nothing anyone can do or say but what do people do to start feeling good again and keep moving ahead...?
