Don't grieve alone; 14,000 members and growing
I went to Borders yesterday for find a book on grieving. My 13 year old niece was with me. As I browsed through the limited "bereavement" section my niece was getting antsy. She had gift cards…Continue

My daughter's friend Kelly made a CD for the funeral of all of Joe's favorite songs. We both really love the old Motown sound. This is the one that speaks to me to the most. I'm really going to miss my husband, my love, my buddy, my best friend.
Really gonna miss you
It’s really gonna be different without you
Time came when you had to go
For the rest of my life gonna be thinking about you
(Yes I am)
I’ll miss you my buddy, I’ll miss you my friend,
I promise my love for you will never end.
In your finest hour I was there with you
And without you things won’t be the same
But there’s a higher power that we answer to
And you heard him calling your name
Really gonna miss you
Everything about you
I know you want us all to be strong
Really gonna miss you
I know you’re going to that magic place
Singing a brand new song
I’ll miss you my buddy,
I’ll miss you my friend
I promise my love for you will never end.
My grief is still very new (my husband passed away on December 3rd of this year). Writing and networking with others has really helped. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and to having to circle W in the marital status field was traumatizing. I know that is just one of many challenges I will face over the next year. This morning as I was trying to wrap my 3 grandson's Christmas gifts (that thank God I purchased in November-I can't do the stores right now) my tears were falling on the…

My husband passed away on December 3, 2010 while waiting for a heart transplant. He had undergone 3 major surgeries in the past two years. I was in a state of shock for the first week and now every day seems to be getting worse. Yesterday I picked up his ashes. Today I donated all of his clothing after family members took some of his nicer things. My hands are shaking as I'm trying to type. I can't sleep, I can't eat. I know I have to go through this in order to heal (I equate this…

Pat, So sorry for your loss. and thank you for the warm welcome. I just believe no one understands this pain unless one has lost their "soulmate" I am not very savy on this site but learning. Please feel free to contact me anytime!

You are right, most friends do not understand the grief we feel. My very dear friend (30+ years) is the only one who reaches out to me with any kind of compassion.....she brought me flowers on Valentine's day because she knew how I was hurting without Jim. The holidays are the worst!! again thanks, Kathy
It was so nice of you to make me feel so welcome. Your grief is so new. I remember walking around like a zombie just going through the motions back then. I thought that was awful. Yet I'm finding that now, 15 months out, the reality is REALLY hitting me. I haven't been able to look at his picture of talk about him. A year of shoveling feelings to the back shelf and all of a sudden, that shelf is overflowing and I never know when I'll be sobbing into my pillow or squeezing one of my chihuahuas so tight the tears just flowing freely.
I want to go on with what's left whatever that is but I honestly don't know where to begin. Like your husband, mine was my world. I'm not even sure who I am without him.
Again, thanks for the warm friendly greeting. Don't anyone hesitate to talk to me. I don't bite (Much) and when I'm not sad, I have a wonderful sense of humor and a great listening ear.....
Thanks Patricia. It was nice to get a welcome right away.
We are coming up on the third year anniversary of my partner's death. She was sick for a long time, about 10 years. My mother (94) died four months later, and she was disabled in a different way. Thanksgiving week my dad came down with pneumonia and the grief began to sweep over me again. He is home now, but requires lots more care these days. I am just very tired.
Last night I was looking for supportive ears other than my same friends.
