Loss and Grief: How are you doing?

I lost my wife of 44 years on August 22 from Creutzfeldt Jakob. It's a very aggressive brain disease for which there is no cure. She was fine with no symptoms in early July, the around the middle of July began to experience confusion, unsteadiness, etc. It took some time for the final diagnosis, but she digressed very quickly. It was the most terrible thing to watch her pass away before my eyes, and no one could do anything for her. So, how am doing? Not that great. I think I'm still in denial.

I share your pain. My husband died in December after 59 years of marriage (we dated 6 years before that). He had a terrible ending which included an amputation on his leg below the knee. I wish I could have gone with him and am still struggling.

I can empathize with you. It must be the most awful thing imaginable to watch your spouse dying in front of your eyes. Mine was opposite. My husband was not dying, and then he was dead. Yes, you are still in denial. How can it be? I think we will never know. My sympathy for your untimely loss.
