Death of Husband: The hardest thing I've had to deal with
We were married 37 years when he died 9/16 at 69 ears old. He has metastatic melanoma since 7/22/19 and was not able to handle the immunity treatments at the end, at that point lots of other problems started that brought him to death. This is the hardest thing I have had to deal with and wanted to do group therapy but no one is doing it. I feel that would be the best for me. I have started counseling but its only my 2nd time. I keep saying i want to feel him or see some sign that he is with me as everyone says it happens, but Neither for me. I think this is what is bringing me the most crying and depression. He was a great husband, father & grandfather. So sad that his 2nd grandchild is due 11/21/20 and he wont see her.

Lost my wife of 52 years unexpectedly in early 2025 due to cardiac arrest. Grief is difficult and nobody knows what it is like until they experience it. It all takes time, but things will very slowly improve, just need to give it the time it needs.
Today is my birthday, and my wife isn't here to help me celebrate. She passed away nearly 4 years from the terrible Creutzfeldt-jakob disease. I will not go into details as to how that disease manifests itself, but it's awful...no cure and happens quickly. She was my best friend, traveling companion, etc. In fact, we should be traveling now. A day doesn't go by that I don't lapse into a state of reminiscing about our nearly 45 years together. Some of those thoughts bring a smile, others a tear or two.
