I thought that I was doing fine.

You are most welcome. If you have time, let me know how it works out.
God's blessings to you also.

 

I lost my husband on April 5, 2021 to stage 4 lung cancer he was only 50. We would have been married 20 years this July. I have been with him most of my adult life. He was the was you was always there for me, always could cheer me up. Now he's gone and I feel so all alone. I miss him terribly. We have three children that I love dearly, but they just don't understand why I'm always crying. It seems like this will never get better. It's so tough to concentrate at work or feel happiness anymore. I don't know what to do.

 

Hang in there, BLUFFS5. It's ok if your kids see you crying. Let them know you will be ok, you just need to go through it. I lost my dad just before I turned 7, had a younger brother who was 5, and when I saw Mom cry it was doubly upsetting to me because I had just lost my dad and I didn't want to lose Mom, too. That was my perspective as a youngster. You will be ok, just not maybe today. It's your grief journey, and however you need to get through it, do it. Look for a GriefShare group in your area (griefshare.org), that is an option. And keep coming back and letting us know you're hanging in there. Peace.

 

Thanks for your reply. I actually am involved with griefshare I started three weeks ago. It does help to be around others who have had a loss. It is just that the people in my group are 20 + years older than me. I am 44. I just wish I could talk to someone who still has kids at home. I hope someday I will be okay, but everything is so different now and scary without my husband. Take care

 

Try doing a new thread here asking for people around your age with kids to respond. Or something like that.

It's worth a try and I can, certainly, agree with you needing people your age. You lost your husband at a very young age, it must be devastating to say the least.

My thoughts, prayer's and blessings to you and your children.
