How to go on without my husband
I am so lost! I lost my husband just about 2 months ago to Melanoma cancer. We had been married for 24 years, he was my everything! He was my soul mate, best friend, we worked together, we were never apart, and we loved it that way! I miss all the million little cute things in a day, we never grew up, we were like kids playing, leaving cute notes, setting up cute little scenarios with our little beanie babies, just for a laugh! We made life fun together!!! We never were able to have kids, so… Continue

Hi Lauri, I am so very sorry you are on this journey with us. I lost my husband of 34 years to Melanoma as well, in 2011. It happened so fast! I with there were stronger words to offer you than these.... You will get through today, and tomorrow. One second at a time at times. You will get used to this new normal that none of us asked for, or prepare for. Find a way to honor YOUR life each day, just as he would if he were here. Time does not heal this pain, but it does make it a much more gentle feeling than you are in right now. Gentle caring hugs from me to you.
