Thank you for your heartfelt replies. It seems that as each day goes by the harder it gets. The little things like balsams seems to reduce me to tears. I always loved the library but we did it…Continue

Profile Information
- About Me:
- 58 year old grandmother to 9. Married for 38 years to my best friend & the love of my life.
- About my Loss:
- My husband Mike was diagnosed with lung cancer in September 2013. Over the next few months he had chemo, radiation & April 26, 2014 he underwent Gamma Knife brain surgery as his cancer had spread. We were very hopeful that we were being given another chance.
One week to the day Mike fell & fractured his hip & ended up back in the hospital for a partial hip replacement. He returned home but seemed to be on a downward spiral physically. He had one more hospital stay & the MRI results were devastating. His head was full of cancer & he had also had a stroke in the back of his brain. I brought him home to fulfill the promise I had made years before that I would always be beside him. Sadly he left me @ 12:15 AM on June 23, 2014. I am still trying to make sense of it all & understand why. My every thought is tied to him & I find myself constantly thinking about what he would think about certain things.

"is griefshare a website like this?"
"Kali
I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.
Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"
It was not supposed to be like this
In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More

Hugs from one "Wife without her husband" to another.
Sandi, I don't come here often any more. Glad I did tonight. Cancer is a real B*stard. It stole the love of my life July 1st 2011. There are no words that will make you feel the pain any less intensely so I wont try to do that. What I will say is I am still here. Life is getting better, calmer, happier, worth living. It takes a lot longer than most people realize but one day you will wake up and want to be awake. Hugs from one wife with her husband to another. If you ever want to talk, please message me.
