I lost my wife 3 months ago. I started to question everything. I'm trying very hard to cope. I'm afraid I got too chatty.

It's actually been 3 months. But I'm having a rough time. She was my soul mate. Life will never be the same.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Everything must be so difficult for you. I wish there was something I could do to easy your pain. Maybe surround yourself with family during these hard times, and if you don’t have any family around, you got us. Feel free to open up about your struggles. We all are struggling to stay afloat, Or at least I am. I’ve got anxiety & depression pretty bad and it’s hard to stay positive most days. Thank God for dogs ! Or maybe in your case, cats My two dogs are my therapy. Hang in there Kittyman.

Very sorry for your loss. It is very sad 😞. Hang in there and know she is with you, carrying you. In the love she planted in your heart. Be kind to yourself and just take it easy. Warm hugs and lifting you in prayers.

I can understand, there is nothing like wife in the world. For me my wife is my society, my emotional help, physical help no doubt sexual partner. I can understand ur loss but this phase will be easy if u can spend time with your children or anyone who can lend u ur ears. U can also chat with me personally

it is indeed a long lonely road and i know it well,i lost my soulmate just over 3 years ago and its terribly hard knowing life will never be the same, you will get glimpses of how you once were,but it will be different. I find life harder now than i did 3 years ago,i have lost my humour and fun, but i am striving to gradually find some normality. I wish you well.

Thank u itnis very tough to feel in limbo is the perfect word for these situations..they wanna put my mom in asst living,and there's not enough $$$$ so she'd have to go on welfare by the state,that means they take over her ssi,and pension and take the life insurance, that's my only ticket out of here when all said and done...it's a terrible thing....tough enough w my own anxiety,depression and bad unmanaged chronic pain it's all a mess....

Hang in there Pita. May flowers bloom after all your suffering. You’re a good soul to stand by your mama and do what you are doing. That is purest love and she will guide you always.

My utmost respect to those who suffer with bi polar but don’t let it define them. Slap it and fight. Truly admirable.

My daughter died two years ago. Parents shouldn’t bury their children. Prayers and love to you.

So sorry for your loss -- I feel very much as you do now as my Sig. Other passed away Nov. of last year. I am struggling everyday. Have family, but they are far away, friends don't live close. I feel Lost, also, it's a rough road, I know. Talking to a Grief Counselor, and a Grief Support Group online helps some. HealthUnlocked provides good feedback, and support as well. Prayers for both of us.

Kiltyman in reply toWeatherwoman

Yes I'm in the same way. No close relatives. Children grown up and moved all over the world. Now.living alone and not liking it much. My entire world seems to have changed. I spoke with one counselling group. They just said I was in denial. True, I still can't believe she's gone. She was at her regular gym class that day. Never been sick. And only 52 yes. old.Of course I'm in denial. So now it's one day at a time. Praying life is not over and I just haven't died yet.

Weatherwoman in reply toKiltyman

Know the feeling. Hate the way things are now --my world feels upside down. Denial is part of the grieving process. Mike (my Sig. Other) has been gone three Mos., and I still can't believe he's Really gone, at times. My heart breaks for you & all of us going through this grief especially of our "other half," half of me felt like I "died" when he did. People in my Grief Support Group say it gets to feel less intense as time passes --l sure hope they are right.

Could we talk? Our situations are so similar. Maybe we can help each other?

Weatherwoman in reply toKiltyman

I do think that we could help each other. I understand that we can chat on here (HealthUnlocked) --I see people say, PM me (meaning chat ), but I am not sure how. Let me know. Thanks,

Can your kids come back home? Or maybe you can go to one of them? Maybe it would help to spend some time with them

As for me you can never be too chatty.Always consider that if somebody thought you were too chatty they could always stop reading.

This web site is a tremendous resource that is fairly new. I suffered many years with out an on line support group.

Not what you're looking for?
