@kentmcdaniel I lost my husband of 57 years May 12th just 45 short days after being diagnosed with grade 4 glioblastoma. Because he was non verbal, could not speak, we never got the chance to have any conversations. I talked to him constantly but he could never reply. I cry every day, numerous times each day. I have no closure since I have no idea what he was feeling, what he wanted to say, if he was ready to give up, etc.. We had our first great grand child who he never got to meet yet still I find no joy now in life. I feel the loneliness, sadness, pain of this loss and pray everyday for strength to continue on without him. I have even wondered if I will ever see him again and if that love will still be there. Just don't give up. Find a grief support group which won't bring her back but also talk to her.

@kjsthljc1 After my husband died--he was 36 and this was over thirty years ago--I found the first 3-4 months to be nightmarish, and then gradual improvement and eventually a return not to who I was but to a different but good life. I don't have any beliefs or experiences about seeing him again, but I can say the love remains. I feel it whenever I think of him and see it in my daughter's face and see a lot of him in my 7 year old grand-daughter who of course he never met. When he died it was hard to suddenly find myself divided from him. He experienced illness, a coma, and death and I experienced having to go on. Usually marriage is about sharing, and this wasn't. Very difficult. Please take care of yourself as best you can. I found it does get easier. Wishing you the same.
