My husband passed away

Posted by bigmaya @bigmaya, Aug 23, 2023

Hello All,
My husband and soulmate of almost 32 years passed away last Thursday evening. He was terminally ill with prostate cancer.
I'm trying to learn to survive, to get "acquainted " with the new situation but l'm millions of miles away yet... I actually haven't started yet...
There are no family or relatives to support me here.

So l'd love to find some company here, people who can relate/understand but who are also willing to be in touch to talk and chat just about anything under the sun. Please refrain from emojis as a reply.
Thank you🙏💐🦉

My husband passed away just over two years ago and I am still having problems. In my "sane" head I know he is gone, but in my feelings I can't accept it. I have had some grief therapy which helped somewhat. I am alone and despite everyone telling me I "have to get out there" I really don't want to be around people. I am still a watering pot and never know what will set me off. We were married for a long time and he was my life. So perhaps now that my life is gone so am I.

Oh my heart is so sore for you. It is very difficult to get out and mix with people again but I believe it is an absolute must do. I am trying very hard to see my friends but at this stage only those who understand if I do cry. Fortunately I have 2 that don't mind my tears and we talk about my late husband . What I am finding incredibly difficult is sorting his things out but I am trying to do that.....a little at a time.

My husband died of prostate cancer 2 years ago. I am feeling better but grief returns at the most unexpected times. Accept
a roller coaster of emotions.
There is a YouTube channel
called the Widow. Also Dana Farber has an online support group. Just hang in there. It will
get better in time. So sorry for your loss.
