Death of Husband: The hardest thing I've had to deal with

@njed, I'm so sorry that your wife died. I know it's hard because my husband died of lung cancer in 2024. That's so nice that you were married for 52 years! Be grateful for that and I'm sure you are! My husband and I were married for 30 wonderful years. One thing that helped me get through the lonely days was to have a routine. Make the bed, do the dishes, vacuum etc. It helps a lot and gets your house clean. You are almost too busy to feel sad all the time.
Another thing that has helped me is to pray. God has been there for me during this whole difficult time. I know my husband is up in Heaven as is your wife. We'll be reunited with them eventually in God's time. It's just hard being left behind. I'll say a prayer for you.
I wish you the best.

@pml your words are very helpful. 38 years with my husband and some days I am paralyzed by grief.

@pml I do many things during the day, I have a "punch list" that keeps me on the busy side. Yet, I know my limitations. I also believe in many of your comments provided and thank you!
