I too wish you didn't have to be here.  I lost my wife on Jan.21, 2018 and wish I could say it gets better as time goes on, but for me it's just keeps getting worse.  We were together since age 16, close to 52 years together and this Dec. 3rd, would had celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary.  Counseling or bereavement groups didn't help me but you might give that a go when the grief really sets in.  You are still in shock at this early time.  Join our group "lost a spouse".  Just know that he's really not gone.  He is still with you and someday you will be reunited with him in the spiritual realm for eternity.

Prayers for you,

Joe

Linda,

I am so sorry you have had to join our grieving group.  Each of us know your sorrow and we all grapple with how to deal with the worst thing we could ever have to deal with.  On January 21st 2013 my husband doc 35 years (knew him for 55) died and I am functioning better at doing the basics of life but the need to have a reason for making my life worthwhile again still evade me.  I have done what I have had to do to what I call "pay bills" but the cost of living has gotten incredibly heavy.  I long for my own death and at 67 I can hope it will be sooner rather than later.  

There are so many things I could impart but the best thing I could do is encourage you to read here and find others who grieve.  They will understand your pain.  It helps to know others suffer just like you are.  It is about the only and best thing that may give you a way to understand what has happened.  Nothing for me has done much more.  

Best I can say is take it a moment at a time.  For the early years of your sorrow that will be about all you can do.  Just know that is normal.  Nothing compares to this and you will hurt.  Like you never imagined.  Do the best you can.  We understand.......

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
