"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.

Hi Cheryl, Im very sorry you are a member of the widows club that none of us want to join. My husband passed away July 2011. I understand the loneliness very well. One of the reasons I started to work again after 15 months off was to have face to face contact with others more often. Keeping busy is the answer for me at this point. Maybe you could find a part time job, or volunteer to have the same contact with others. Take gentle care of yourself. Hugs.
Do you have any friends that you can go out with or any senior centers? My mom lost my dad 3 1/2 years ago and still misses him every day. I feel your pain and the deep sadness. You are not alone in how you feel.
