Hello everyone,
I want to say that I come here often for comfort and support. For some reason this site allows me to be myself and express all the things that I cannot say to friends and family anymore. They seem to think there is a time limit on grief, and I cannot blame them. They should live happy lives like I used to do when I had my husband here. I probably would not want to hear depressing, needy people like myself trying to obtain comfort.
Here I can say what I am feeling and then the longing, aching, loneliness I feel eases for a while.
Thank you all for being so kind and compassionate. I hope the ones that do not feel that this site is for comfort, leave and find a new venue.
I guess I am not as strong as some have been after losing their spouse; this loss has really sapped my strength and my will to go on. It has been the worse thing that has happened in my life, so I continue to have the need to write about my feelings. Let's pray we get peace if even for a short while. I am very tired of this emotional torture.

So many of us here understand, Maxey.  {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}

I agree Anne........bluebird set me free too.

And Maxey, its a fight to stay standing. Some days and moments within those days we function better but overall I never want anyone to have to go through this.  Now I know why I never had a clue.  

Maxey I absolutely understand how you feel my so called family and friends stopped talking to me after my husbands memorial service I guess they think I should be fine by now because it's been 16 months and I guess they think I should just be over it well I'm not that's why we are here so we can express ourselves without feeling bad

Hugs
I thank God for this site Maxey, I don't know how I could cope without it, we all suddenly feel a great loneliness in this world and this site let's me know that I'm not alone, that there are people that truly understand what I'm going through. The depth of our love for our loved ones is the exact same pain we feel now. I was truly in love with my wife so my pain is so deep it littering hurts me physically. I thank all of you ladies and gentlemen for your share.

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?

Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
