Maryanne, I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband. Last year, my 41 year old son died very unexpectedly while on a cruise with his wife. Supposedly from a massive heart attack. I feel your pain.

Maryanne, I am so sorry for your loss.  There isn't anything anyone can say that will make you feel better.  I am 2 month into my greiving.  I lost my only child suddenly. She was the only beauty in my life.  As I'm sure your husband was your world.  We all know and share the hurt, pain, lonliness, emptiness and uncertainty you feel. 

I also wonder if this is all that's left?  I just can't see it getting any better ever.  Just know we are all in this togther.  I am so glad to have found this site.  It's nice to talk to people who understand our turmoil.    I send you tight hugs and prayers from accross the miles.  All my love Rachel.

We are all in the same position .We all suffer and it will never be the same .Part of our hearts has been taken away from  us and we  have to continue living and that is what the  loved ones that we buried want us to do.  IT IS HARD and almost impossible but we must continue our journey and light a candle along the path Stanley

Oh, Maryanne. I'm so, so sorry. I wish words could make it better... I can tell you, 19 weeks after my precious husband and soulmate left us suddenly and unexpectedly, that there are no words to fix it. I know what you mean about not being able to find joy. I've reached a point where I can put on a mask, smile at things occasionally, even laugh, but none of it touches the massive void inside. I feel as though I've lost not only all my joy but any hope of ever having any again. My whole future died with my husband. My life ended, but this stupid body keeps going. 

Peace to you... I really am so very sorry.

I'm so sorry, I do know how you feel, I was married to my husband 33yrs and together 40yrs, all I do is cry. Sometimes I think what is the use of getting out of bed, even though I have a large family and friends , I just feel alone and the odd one out as I am the first to be widowed.
