Dearest Barb, I'm coming up on the 2-year anniversary of my husband's death from colo-rectal cancer at age 44. I have to say that I'm better than I was a year ago. I don't know how I made it through the first year, but I did, so you will too Barb! I know exactly what you're going through!

Dearest Barb and Mary, I understand so well about your tears. I will be doing fine and then the tiniest thing will cause a flood of tears. I do believe that our loved ones want us to go on and have the best lives that we can. Please know that all of us here do care and share your pains!

Today is the anniversary of my husbands passing and I can't stop crying. Been irritable all weekend not intentionally just wanted to be left alone. Family doesn't understand tomorrow will be a better day, I hope anyway. Blessings to all of you

It has been 6 months since colon cancer took my husband. I still can't understand how time goes on and he is not here. My heart breaks every day, I cry every day. It still feels like it was yesterday. We have our first grandchild which he will never meet, I know he would love him so much. I spend a lot of time with him he brings some joy to my life. I can't figure out how I am suppose to be by myself,

One year ago today we had the service. It's hard to think about and harder still to realize how time has moved on. people have made a point of remembering, for that I'm grateful. I still don't get the why or what my life is supposed to be about now. Maybe in time......

Coming up on 4 years.....and life does go on. I still cry everyday for you.....but life goes on. I am still so angry you had to go......still life goes on. It still feels like such a senseless death. So as my life goes on I will carry you in my heart, so you can live on within me.

Thank you, Mary, for your very kind words. There is such joy in those dreams and then such profound loss when I realize the next day is here for me but not him. I know that he wants me to go on.....and expects me to do so......and I won't disappoint him.

"I lost my husband overnight that it happened so fast that I still can’t accept that he’s gone."
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.
