About my Loss:
I lost my husband 2 years ago due to malaria. He was 43 and I was 42. We had been together since we were 16/17. As well as being my husband he was my best friend. I'm really not coping or accepting the fact that john is no longer here.

    Hello Marie

    I can honestly say that I know how you feel. I lost my husband just two months ago of cancer. We were together for 37 years, since I was 19 years old. I miss him every minute. I can't bear the idea of never having him hold me again. I was just thinking about how safe I felt with him. I'm sorry that you are having health problems, I'm sure that makes things much worse. I am learning that we are not alone in our grief, but that doesn't make it any easier.

    Hi Marie,

    My condolences! I know how you feel. I hate morning because it means I'm still here and Cherie is still gone.

    I read these comments and feel everyone pain so much. Yet, mine must be different somehow because unlike most of the others, I don't want to die. I want him back here with me and our kids and grandkids. My husband was the rock, the one everyone turned to for everything. He solved every problem. I find myself wanting to tell him something that has happened and then it hits me that he isn't coming home. Music makes me cry, our home makes me cry, our business makes me cry. I want to get to the point that I can remember our happy times and be happy and thankful for the time that we had together. I, like you, just miss him with everything I have.

    I hope you are finding some type of way to get through your sorrow. I don't know if reading about everyone elses pain is making it better or worse. Please feel free to vent to me if you'd like, I understand.
