My husband died 2-1/2 years ago. We had been married 59 years. My grief is still overwhelming. Not a day goes by that I don't cry for him. Even as I write this I am crying. I have had grief counselling but it only helped to a degree. I am 89 years old. How much time do I have left? No one knows. In the meantime I carry on alone.

I completely understand your pain . My husband died 3 years ago, we were married 50 years and, as you, I shed tears every day.
It’s is very difficult being alone.

I am in a similar situation. My husband died 1 year and 7 months ago. We were married for 53 years. My grief is still on going. I am sitting in my breakfast table and he used to be right across from me. Living alone is lonely but I do have a helper most days to keep me company. My son comes and stays for few weeks. I am also very fatigue and tired due to lack of sleep from anxiety and depression and I also have sleep apnea. My hope is getting my energy back so I can drive and be out more. Joined a senior club which I am looking forward to attend many of their activities.
Marilyn, is there a senior club you can join? There a lot more seniors around in your similar situation and you may connect with them.
Good luck to you,
Susie
