Another Lonely New Year's Eve.

Well, this will be my 4 New Year's Eve without my beloved Husband. I go to bed early that night as their is no one to kiss at the stroke of 12. So starts another year without him.

I understand Linda.  This has been ONE ENTIRE year without John.  He died 12/27/15.  I feel your pain.  There are no words to express how much John is missed.  God Bless our darling husbands.

I was just thinking the same thing.  I have been invited to a friends house tonight, but I have no urge to go.  I dont want to be the odd man out, I dont feel like being with anyone other than my kid tonight.  I just dont have the energy to ring in another year without my husband.  It just makes it all the more real that, here I go again, year 2 without him.

Yup, I agree shinginglight I will ring in the new year with my sweet dog Babie J.

It's like we're aliens, we don't understand the people who's never been through this and they don't understand us. People still said Merry Christmas to me and I know they'll say Happy New Year, it's actually insulting to hear that for me. It's like they're saying forget your wife, just be Merry and happy. I will never be genuinely happy again, my happiness died with my wife. I'll find it when we're united again.

I thought that I was the only one who thinks as you do.  Happy New Year my ASS.  Merry Christmas my ASS too. I understand they mean well but it tears at my heart.  Just think for a few seconds before you break our hearts further.

Yes linda, I spent new years eve with my dog.   My husband and I usually stayed home for new tears.   That's right...no one to kiss at midnight! .... talked to a few friends today (new year's )....then I watched the Packers game!   I start a new year without  my "better half"!  I miss him very much.   I can't say this  enough:  whenever i have someone special in my life ,i need to let them know how much I appreciate them, before it is too late!   (Just a thought!!....but I need to remember it!!!)

       Everyone,  have a blessed new year!

Hi Elyn,

I am so glad we have our dogs to love us, they can't replace our beloved Husbands, but they make are lives a little easier to bear.

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
