I am so sorry, I know exactly what it is like. We'd been together over 50 years. Hold on to the good times.
As DL says, don't refuse any help that is offered. I thought I was fine but bereavement counselling made such a difference.
Sending my heartfelt condolences, Doublef.
So sorry for your loss, 59 years is an amazing achievement, sending you a hug.
My sincere condolences ...
That's a bitter pill to swallow Doublef. We all know that life is NOT fair but getting to this age has given us the gift of determination to get through the hard times however crippling. Take all the support offered to handle the grief. If the sun had a consciousness I wonder how it would reconcile the continuous explosions within. How ever, without it's turmoil and pain we would not be able to benefit from the warmth and life it provides us nor the welcoming sight each new day.
Hugs to you Doublef 🤗
Such a shock for you after 59 years. As others have said, take care and accept any help that’s offered xx

Dear Doublef, I’m so sorry for your loss. Sixty years together is truly special, and losing her must be incredibly hard. It’s unimaginable to lose someone who’s been by your side for so long, sharing life’s moments, joys, and challenges. Please take things one day at a time and allow yourself to grieve in your own way. Love and Hugs.

So so sorry to hear this. After 59 years that’s doubly hard. Praying you will find strength and peace during this time. Xx💐
Sincere condolences. RIP & God Bless your wife 💔
59 years is amazing. The shock must be tremendously stressful. If you can possibly take a little walk outside each day, it might help. My Dad had a rule of no major decisions for 2 years after a breavement. Time puts things into perspective. Sending best wishes ..one step in front of the other. Routine helps.
I’m so sorry Doublef. As has been said, accept all offers of help and look after yourself. Sending love 💕
Morning Doublef, so sorry to hear of your news and sending sincere condolences and hugs. Sadly, life isn't and never has seemed fair. If/when you get/need some help/counselling during your grieving please don't hesitate to accept or ask for it, it will help.
So sorry for your loss. Take care. Hold on to all your memories together.
so sorry Doublef, A hard loss to bear.
I’m so sorry.
I am so sorry. Many of us share this pain. You will still be numb with the shock of what has happened. You clearly loved your wife very much and have got to that stage in a long marriage where you are so in harmony you can’t tell where the one begins and the other ends. It does get better but not yet. Sending you warmth and care ❤️
So very sorry Doublef! Just know that you are not alone during this most difficicult time---take time to take care of yourself and continue to reach out to get the comfort you need---
Just know that your wife's love and wisdom are always within you--- sending you gentle thoughts of healing and peace----
❤️😘😘🫂
Look after yourself x
my heartfelt sympathy to you at this sad time. How lucky you both were to have 59 years together. May your memories sustain you.
I'm so sorry for your loss and I understand your sense of loss, my first wife died at the age of 40 in 1991.
Sincere condolences, Doublef. 59 years is a long time together. I hope that you will eventually be able to look back on 59 years of wonderful memories.
All my love and understanding xx
I do hope you have family/friends who can help you through this difficult period. Please take care.
So sorry for your loss Doublef. I hope you have the support of family and friends.

Deepest sympathy Doublef. Reaching out to you. This is a big shock. Be very gentle with yourself.
dear Doublef. I’m so terribly sorry for the loss of your wife. 59 years is a long time.
Just take care of yourself and remember all the happy memories you have.
So very sad news..there are no words that can truly help at this time..but know that I wish you strength and courage to help you through this dark time in your life..and she is still in your heart and at your side..and will always be..heartfelt condolences...
Deepest sympathy. Unfair indeed, and such a wrench. Two of my best friends lost their partners this summer after 60 years of marriage, so I have a good idea of how devastating it can be. Take care and take help and above all, don’t give up. A time will come when you can look at life again. Sending you courage!
😮💨😮💨 such pain but how wonderful to have so many years together. Love never dies.
Thinking of you so very sorry 🙏x
You are in my prayers. Your loss is so much and I am so sorry for what you are going through.

May your family and friends support you at this saddest of times Doublef. Loss of a loved one is huge, be sure to look after yourself and get help where you can.
I'm so sorry, life gives & takes away. I hope you are able to hold on to all the happy times you had together & that you have family to be with you.
thinking of you Doublef, it’s hard to get through, accept help as others are saying, look after yourself, and cry as much as you like. Hugs
Grief is an unbearable pain, I really feel for you losing your best friend, lover, soul mate and confident. You know she will always be with you in your heart and soul. Be kind to yourself, take support when offered and grieve.
Take care

So sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss. I lost my hubby of 43 years 2 years ago. Grief is such an individual process and each of us deals with it differently. I found the free Sue Ryder grief coach really good. I didn't want to see a counsellor or do group counselling so this was perfect for me. Really helped get through that first year. sueryder.grief.coach/
I’m so sorry for your loss
I am so sorry for your loss, ssssstay close to family and friends they are a great help to have
So sorry for your loss, take care.
So sorry for your loss a tough and very sad time for you.
Sincere condolences, 59 years of happiness is wonderful. Now be sure to look after yourself,
Think about stress and perhaps upping your pred for the short term. All good wishes.
I am so very sorry for your loss
Very sorry for your loss.
Hello Doublef I am really sorry. I can only begin to imagine your heartache. Grief is the price we pay for the love we’ve shared. It’s so very hard. Be gentle with yourself. Take one day at a time, one morning, one afternoon. Try and let others help where they can. Take precious care of yourself.
I am so sorry for your loss. I understand as I have had a recent loss too. I try to concentrate on happy memories. 🌸

Soo sorry for your loss ,H
Sad news... sending my condolences 🙏💐
Thinking of you Doublef. Once the funeral is over and all the admin tasks, do accept any offers to be with others. even if it is a struggle. Perhaps you have u3a groups in your area you could join. I always leave my radio playing when I go out so that horrible silence is not there when I come back home. Kindest thoughts.
So so sorry 💐
I am so glad you told us all of your loss so we can support and try to comfort you. The value of our group clearly goes beyond sharing our experience of PMR and GCA and for that I am very thankful. We all know grief. Thinking of you.
So sorry to hear that, what a loss for you.
This is just my perspective, but I believe that only the physical body dies. The 'soul' survives in a lighter place, without the burden of illness.
I see my poor old mum who died at 99 now as a happy young woman enjoying herself with her friends.
So sorry for your loss Doublef. Take care of yourself.
So sorry for your loss.I will be married 55 years in Feb.and I can't imagine how I would live.Its so hard when most of our memories are with our spouses.I do pray you have family to ease your pain.

Deepest condolences. That is indeed a long, happy marriage and leaving you with many sweet memories.
So very sorry for your loss .Keeping you in my prayers .
My deepest sympathy to you at this sad time, many of us here have been through this and know exactly how you feel. I lost my husband of 52 years last year, nothing can prepare you for the raw heartache you feel, as others have said I hope you have the support of family and friends to help you through. The pain does become less intense, but never goes away. I've found it helps to keep busy, I never turn an invitation down. I also got myself a little dog, and she has been a Godsend. And yes life is so unfair. Take care.Janis
Life is unfair Doublef. All our hearts go out to you with strength, courage and comfort at this time.
