New to this...
My husband got a flu like virus 2 weeks ago and seemed to be getting better. Last Monday I called and texted him with no response so I came home and found him in bed, gone. He was 35 years old and healthy, this is not supposed to happen! I should not be a 39 year old widow. I cannot accept that this is my life now.

Stacey, my heart breaks for you. You're right...you shouldn't be a 39 year old widow...anymore than any of us should be widows and widowers. And to have lost him just before the Holidays is like adding insult to injury. I lost my husband 2 years ago in November, just before the Holidays. It's a very difficult time. Everyone else wants to be happy and you can't figure out how to even get up and survive another day. My thoughts are with you.

Stacey,
So sorry for your loss, death is just unbelievable. I am not as young as you but I still cannot accept my life without my husband of 35 years. This is a wonderful site to help you through your grief

Stacey, I am so very sorry and sad to hear of your loss. The photo of the two of you is beautiful.
I lost my beautiful Dreamgirl eight months ago this past Monday. This site has been an absolute godsend for me, and, as you can see, many others. It absolutely sucks that you're in the position where you had to search us out, but unfortunately that's the reality. Now that you're here, just know that you're not alone. This group understands your pain and situation in a way others can not. It's the last group I would ever want to join, but now that circumstances have put us in this position, it's the best place to be (imho).
You're in my thoughts.

I'm so very sorry Stacey. I am new to this group too...but I became a widow two years ago at age 41. No it is not supposed to happen. All I could feel was shock, numbness, denial, and despair..I was not in this world. You should not be a 39 year old widow. I am so sorry.

My husband's name was Shannon so when it popped up that Shannon responded, I spazed a bit!

oh my goodness...I would have spazed too if my husband's name had popped up on a response ....and I will add that what others are saying is true for me too...this experience is very isolating and alienating and just knowing that you're not the only one going through it helps. hugs to you.

So very sorry for your loss. Very heart-wrenching. One thing we all have in common here is that we share your pain. You can express your emotions and feelings in any way you feel and you will not be judged. My heart goes out to you. Your tears are my tears.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss, Stacey. I am new to this community and have found comfort in sharing this extremely painful journey within such a caring community. At times it helps just to know that we aren't alone. I lost my husband not quite 2 months ago very suddenly and unexpectedly as well. He was only 46 and now I am a widow at 42. We had only been married for 4 short months. All I can share in the newness of my grief is that there is love and humanity amongst us and embracing that seems to provide an inkling of hope on even the darkest of days.

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
