I'm sorry for your loss.  It's only been 2 weeks since I lost my husband.  I can't imagine what it will be like after a year.  Hope you're handling things okay.  I've been wondering if I should move closer to family too, but it's too much to decide right now.

I hurt with you, Laurie.  It's been 8 months since I lost my husband and it doesn't seem to get better.  In some ways I think I've grown tougher and face things out of habit.  When I think of it, I crash.  I just cannot imagine facing the future without him, although I know it's God's plan that we live and we die.  I know my husband always said I'd be fine without him, so I do my best to live up to his expectation and pride in my ability, but the truth is I feel like I'm hanging on such a fragile thread.  I know that God will see me through this, but, man, it surely is not easy.

I've decided to not move.  As sure as I'd get close to some of the kids they would move.  My home is where I belong until something attracts me away from here.  There is comfort here, as well as bittersweet memories. The memories are all good and I give thanks for that, but the knowledge that they will never repeat is like a kick in the belly whenever I think of it.

I put on a good face most of the time for the public, but it's not me.  People say I look great, but I know it's a lie.  I'm healthy; I can't die of this heartache, but I hurt to the core.  I guess I haven't been much help for you, unless misery really does love company.

My Fathers Loss

Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child

I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
