What has helped you feel less alone in your grief?

Dawn,
Thank you for your prayers! The one thing that helps me everyday is saying a prayer when I first wake up and asking God to make this a good day and help me to not feel depressed or lonely. This works every day! I get up with a good attitude and get busy with things I have to do that day.
With my husband being so ill a lot of things got left undone such as washing the windows etc. I'm doing those things now and it gives me a feeling of accomplishment to get them done.

Also the Mayo Clinic Connect still plays a major part in my life. The wonderful people on there help with the loneliness. Plus I've met many nice people on there who have worse problems than I do. I try and help them as much as I can with a few kind words and friendship. I always say a prayer for them and keep in touch with them often.

Tomorrow, July 30th is our wedding anniversary. My husband and I would have been married 32 years. I'm going to spend it remembering all the good times we had together and being thankful that there were 30 years of those happy times and lots of love for one another. Not everyone gets that. I'm fortunate to have had that in my life.

@pml I am sure your dear husband is watching over you today. I was my husband's caregiver and I too have things to catch up on...windows, cupboards, etc. I've started tackling a few things,but then I cry. I miss him so. God will give you the strength you need to get through your day. Peace to you.
