My best friend, other half, husband died unexpectedly on 9/30/24. It doesn’t seem real until I re-live the moment he passed. This pain is visceral and unlike any I have ever experienced. I am just so lost without him. He was only 61.
I am so sorry to hear about your husband. I lost my husband 1/17/2024 to cancer. I was lucky to have time to prepare as I knew he was dying but it still didn't make it any easier. We were married 37 years and together for 38, I am now 60. If I have learned anything it is that I should have formed closer bonds with friends. He was my best friend and now that he is gone, I am lonely. I hope that you have a good support system. I do find talking with other widows has helped me heal. Take care of yourself and take time to grieve.
Scooby, when you said that your husband was your best friend and now that he's gone, you're lonely, I can definately relate to that. My husband was my world, my life, my heart, my rock, my EVERYTHING. He was all I had, all I needed, all I wanted. And now that he's gone, I feel kind of ....empty and so, so sad. I'm walking around with this HUGE piece of me missing and no one or nothing there to fill it. I don't really trust people b/c of things that happened in the past but sometimes I kind of just want to talk to someone. I guess that's where you guys come in, right? Well, I just wanted to put my 2 cents in! Take care, everyone. I'm here if you want to talk to me.
Yes talking to someone who has been there and understands is helpful. And calming. I still miss my special man and he has been away many years. I tried to find activities to do and people to be around. it was nice but none of that took his place. Now i am in a time of quiet remembrance. I think of him in some way every day. And still say hello and/or give a kiss to a little stuffed owl that sits in a basket on my kitchen counter. (it is a different story but the Owl was his critter Hugs and peace to you. I hope each of you can find someone to connect to and talk with. I am here. There is also a live chat, it has been quiet lately. There are 2 regulars that come on around 7:00 AM eastern time. Both are caring people and good listeners. Stop in and share a cupa with them.
I read all of the messages from you all in this feed. I just wanted to introduce myself. I am 20 years old and on October 2, 10 days before my 20th birthday, my boyfriend was hit and killed at work. He worked in road construction. We lived together and I can really relate to being lonely now that he is gone. I am lost and I sit at work and cant help but cry. I just dont know what to do.
Oh, Morgan, I'm so, sorry. I KNOW the pain and grief you must be feeling. I just want you to know that you're NOT alone. It feels like it sometimes, but you're not. Let me know if you wanna talk. I'm here, okay? And btw, it's awesome that you're on here, reaching out. I give you alot of credit for that. You're a lot stronger than you think.
