Beautiful picture, mel

Thank you Linda......Same with you and your Julian. One can always tell the depth of love when they see pictures like ours. That picture of  me and Nancy was taken in 1994 but in later pictures we looked just as happy, happier actually.

What a beautiful picture Mel.

Nancy and Me at our happiest, which by the way was the entire 24 years we were lucky enough to be married. This picture along with others keep that special place in my heart always warm with the memories of Nancy

I All,

Thanks for the comments of the picture of me and my beloved, Julian.

I just got this beautiful sign I keep in my kitchen.

Thankyou every one for sharing. I read your comments and I know I'm not alone or "over exaggerating" how I feel. My feelings thoughts all are the same to you all. I feel alone even tho I have family and friends but they don't "get it" which I understand. My Neil was only 52. We had a life ahead of us. We have both been together since we were 18. I haven't just lost my best friend, life partner, father of our children ... But also I have lost my life... It's all do different now and my dream is shattered. My reality is shattered. It's been 9 months yet I still cry for Neil every day, I still yearn for the love of my life. He was my life. ❤️

Linda,  

Every single picture just shows such deep embedded love.  I look at your pictures and I know that look because I had it too.  SO sorry......one day we will be with them again.  I HAVE to believe that.  morgan

Stacey,

You are doing all the right things.  Little steps, each one a victory.  Just get through a day and when it is hard get through a day go for an hour.  

And you are not crazy, I've had to convince myself and it took awhile but what I feel because my husband died is normal. The crying, the not knowing, the inability to talk to others and much more....its all normal for us.  Not crazy.  It comes with the territory.  And none of us could have possibly imagined what this would have been like before it happened and neither can those who think they are helping us with "solutions".  It just comes along when we lose the most important person in our life.  Keep writing......it helps.

Appreciate the comments.  Being on this site just for a couple of days does make me feel like I am not crazy.  

Today I get a call from a cousin wanting to know if I will have to sell my house.  I am barely figuring out how to pay the bills due today - much less thinking about tomorrow or any future anything.

I know people mean well - I wonder if I was one of those people in the past just because of the ignorance of losing someone so close to you.

Right now I am just trying to do one important thing a day and give myself kudos.  Might be a shower, or paying a bill due now, or cleaning up the kitchen, or fixing dinner for the kids.  

Night time is the worst - so quiet and lonely.   

Comment by Elynn m on January 28, 2017 at 10:04pm

Stacy, I know your frustration with others encouraging you to "move on".  They mean well, but really can't undrstand - until they go through something like this.  I still want to stay home and think about what great memories I have.  People are just now realizing that it's OK to ask how I'm coping with Joe's death. (It's been only 16 mos).

  One thing I've decided....I will always try to call anyone who's lost the love of their life...on a regular basis (weekly)

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?

Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
