swimming against the tide

I don,t care how our marriage went in the final years. I must have depressed her terribly(maby) I don,t know,she backed me into a corner over the years.Her revengful temper ,(or what  ever you want to call it) came between us,also my inability to get out from under.

So much for that.we were together 35 yrs (since 1977) Sometimes I cann,t bring myself to even type my true feelings. So as everyone knows the loss of someone close is a debilitating. Having to pull her life support haunts…

3 months

Iam afraid to change ,shy,scared etc. However doing things on your own are good ,gym,walking ,paying attention to your health.This afternoon put some of her clothes in a box,not good ""emotional crash"however, I think,Iam able to push thru grieving spells,its the worst like waking up from a nightmare and finding yourself in a box but eventually finding a way out.Ha! only to have  grieving spell repeat its self.I read eventually the worst of the spells go away,keep busy

One little leap forward

a member here recommended a web site for me to read and get me thru my loss. 'recover from grief .com" I had some very good  information on grieving. As I read  more entries Iam overwelmed with the feelings and actions of those that I read about. So I truly don,t feel alone.

Iam no better than the next person dealing with loss. Iam do walking patrols and Iam in the staircase  unable to move because of a "flashback" from our life together,but I tell myself "move through it" Iam sure…

Iam starting to go thru boxes of stuff we had and Iam even thnking of getting rid of her stuff (not!). Well anyway put it in boxes ,got to be that way.

its so hard

you cannot simply make someone go away that you have been with for so many years.It makes you wonder why things happend the way they do . I have flashbacks would I say horrible,horrible in the sense that Iam expecting her to come through the door and scold me for the mess I have created. I still loved her even if she made it difficult at times.

So now I feel like Iam inside a tornado thats whirling around at 300 mph. I know I shouldn,t say this but since she has been gone I have…

alone

Iam driven to comment on grief today. No one can imagine what sorrow and pain is going on with the loss of there loved one,a fact that I somehow fail to see. It seems as I suspected the world is over all insentative except when it comes to there own world .Which is basically true. So maby some emotions were triggered in me.So anyway I sat in my house all day today.

Your spouse dies your life screeches to a halt,I told my therapist I would have preferred to die with her .Whats the use.Anyway not happening,Iam not suicidal don,t even drink that much.Iam getting there ,I have to remind myself slow going.One cann,t change 35 yrs of life with the same person regardless of there personal life together.I think the bond together is so strong it remains with you.I think consciously the bond may get weaker but I believe will never go away.Like many of us I feel…

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.

Loss of a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide

If you have lost a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide please share your story or feelings here. Share the love and beauty of the one you lost. Losing someone any of these ways is not natural and can be hard to understand and ask why? I lost my Mother to an overdose 9 years ago. She also suffered from major depression. Her doctor got her hooked on pain medication and she was addicted most of my life. These doctors who were suppose to help her ended up killing her in the end. I also…See More
