Thanks Vince. I am sorry about your wife. My eight weeks seems like a lifetime. I imagine your six weeks does to. I am just getting through the days. I had stopped working to take care of him and I am a counselor so now I have no clients to see nor do I think I could sit and listen to someone about their problems. Am afraid I would burst into tears and tell them about me. This is just miserable. Everyone tells me it gets better. It HAS to!!!!

Hello, My wife pasted away a little over 6 weeks ago.I have gone thru weight loss no appetite,no sleep,crying out bursts headaches so bad my eyebrows hurt and lonelyness and more tears.Then I get up and go to work.I can tell you its a slow lonely walk,but things will come around when your ready.There are still parts of the house I try to avoid,I'll get to them when and only when I'm ready.This is the 1st time I've been thru a summer in 19 years alone and it hurts and is lonely .I really have no idea what to do,but I'm slowly trying to move forward.many times I lean on the Lord for help,sometimes I scream at him.It makes me feel better.Abby go slow do things at your pace,lean on the Lord and have some compassion for youself.We'll get thru this time of sorrow.I'll say a prayer for you to feel better.God bless

Abby, I sent you a friendship request.  You can find it on your page.  Once we are friends I can send you a private message.  My husband died last year from Melanoma also.  I am so so sorry you are where I was then.  So very sorry.

"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
