I lost my husband right before Thanksgiving 2022 in a helicopter accident… something went wrong and he was the pilot. It was a violent and traumatic death and I still have nightmares and panic attacks. I had to sell our home and completely leave the area because I wasn’t getting any better. I’m surviving but not living. I’m trying but I’m SO ANGRY and so sad still. He was my best friend. I tried counseling for a while but I just didn’t feel like it was working. I love my family and my friends but they just don’t understand, except for my dad… we lost my mom to cancer when I was a teenager and it was very hard for him. I guess I’m just looking for some validation. Anyone out there lose a spouse in an accident?
Hello. I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband, your best friend. Although different circumstances took my beloved, we share a similar pain. When people state 'time heals all things', I now know in this scenario it means a loooong time! I thought I was doing better/fine for the past couple of months and then last week it felt like I got slapped in the face. I felt suffocated by grief, my body felt like a coffin of suffering. Today is a better day. Let's all keep supporting each other in our shared burden of grief. Great Love. Great Loss. God bless you in your continuing journey... ~ Michael
