thankyou sam and lou21.My wife knelt in front of a train because of blood problems pain and depression.Her last letter began" alan I love you so very much",This and the fact that we have three children and seven marvellous grandchildren makes the pain almost impossible to bear Last week inquest,tomorrow internment of ashes ,sat would have been wife"s birthday.This I hope is the end of 5 months of pain .Perhaps I can begin to look forward and start another life.Thank you for your thoughts. it reduces the feeling of being alone despite friends and family.My I move into safer, calmer waters.thankyou again AmberZara

Hi, i am the same as Sam. Dont want you think that no-one cares on here. This is the best place to come to when you need some support. I couldnt even imagine how you are feeling, but sending you much love. Thoughts are with you. x

I have watched my aunt go through my uncle's suicide after a similar period of marriage, yet I still have no words as every experience is such a personal one .... Don't be alone ... You are not alone.... Use forums, make calls, join groups and be very, very, kind to yourself .... X

Talk to people about how you feel. Everyday seek someone to be with who will listen and understand . Pray, I will talk with you ,,,,and if you are nearby, I will gladly give you my time. Swan

Thankyou Swan.You are right,talking helps although my 3 children ( in their forties )are showing signs of having had enough of my five months of pain.I hope I am coming to the end of the first part with inquest last week ,ashes internment tomorrow and saturday would have been my wife"s birthday..Ihope some peace lies around the corner. No one should have the anguish of having the news that ones wife has just died kneelling in front of a train.She must have been in a dark,deep hole. I shall keep talking,boring the pants off people ! thankyou again Swan Amberzara Colchester Essex

Ah hun my heart goes out to you it really does losing my father was hard for me i loved him so much and still just crave to see and hear his voice again your wife must not have been coping at all but dont ever feel as though you are to blame you was with each other for many years but like you said she must have been in such a bad place whatever the circumstances or reasons for losing a loved one it is never easy and time will ease the pain love but the missing never goes away you do need alot of support with this and need to get some professional help sometimes you are numb for a while and try not to accept it i did this with my dad and focused on my poor mother then 9 long years it hit me like a bomb he wasnt coming back he wasnt going to protect me or make me feel safe or give me advice anymore the hurt hits hard if you dont get help in accepting it now please keep blogging and my heart goes out to both you and your 3 children no one should have to go through the pain of losing their loved one and especially not alone we are here to help you the best we can xxxxx
