so sorry to hear of your loss....having cared for and lost 10 family members
I may be able to offer a word or two of support. Please have patience
with yourself...and realize the pain will subside over time...and, of course,
you will never forget the love.. because after all is said and done, love
is all there is.... be brave, love yourself for loving your beloved and trust
in hope..... you are not alone.

I know just how you feel as I feel the same way.I was 16 when I met him. We too were married 59 years. I was also his caregiver so feel like I not only lost him but kind of lost my job. I do feel alone.

Finding this group has been a lifeline for me because at first I did believe I was alone. I have no family close by and only a couple of friends left. At my age most of my contemporaries have passed away. I sometimes wonder why I am still here. It is extremely difficult but I promised my oldest son I would not harm myself. I believe it would be a sin. Perhaps that is why I am still here? To suffer? I don't know. It has been less than a year and the pain is still great and at times unbearable. Then I get an email from someone in this group and it is like a ray of sunshine. Thank you so much for caring.
