3 weeks ago tonight I lost my wife. Today has been so very difficult as I miss her so much yet it is still too painful to comprehend. I know I keep repeating that, but that is how I feel. I feel so lost without her after 23 years married but nearly 25 together.

How can anyone even begin to adjust when your best friend is gone in the blink of an eye.

It is almost midnight and I have to get up at 5 am to go to work after 3 weeks off trying to recover. Trying to recover? That is like trying to live with half of your heart missing.

Only God can give me the strength to endure this pain.

Jim, there aren't words to take away the pain and grief. I lost my sister to lung cancer six years ago. To help me deal with the loss I decided to do something positive and dedicate a garden in her memory. The garden has provided me a place to visit her memories and she in turn sends me messages in the form of flowers and fruit. Take a look when you feel the time is right. You can dedicate a flower to your wife---others has found that helpful. www.mysisterdalesgarden.com

God will give you everything that you need in your time of grief,and you will not recover from your loss but you will learn how to accept it.It has been 216 days since my husband passed away from cancer and I still wake up every Tuesday morning missing him and I know exactly how long it has been since God called him home.Oct 16 was 7 months amd it seems like yesterday,all his things are still where he left them I can not seem to move anything.I will be praying for you that your pain will lessen and you can remember all the good times you had with your wife.GOD bless you

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
