    I know that feeling. My husband suddenly gone. No time to prepare myself. We’d been together since teens. Now I’m alone!

    I lived with my man whom.i adored for 13 years. He died an alcoholic death.
    I, as well am left with nothing.
    I miss him horribly. He was a good person. Not a mean bone in his body. Just sickness. I have taken a leave of absence from school so I can grieve. I cannot think straight. My soul is empty and lost.

    God i know what you are going through my second wife was what is known as a functioning alcaholic. She died a year and a half ago from copd and just complete body failure. Never had the chance to even say goodbye. Still hurts maybe even more now since last year i spent avoiding it . Now with help i am facing it, I send you hugs and hope you seek help from a professional if you need it. And with all our grief we have to be in this damn pandemic which does not help anyone let alone those of us that are grieving . My broken heart goes out to you.

    It's only been a couple of weeks. I found him Nov 8 and have some PTSD going on. I'm 55 and was due to graduate a 2 year MT program in Feb. I cannot think straight, let alone take on the rest of my course at school. It was our retirement plan. I would give massage and Art would teach diving. I'm absolutely heartbroken and confused as to how a man as strong as an ox and one of the most intelligent people whom I've ever know could be so controlled by this horrific disease and the insatiable demons. I know the moment he died his spirit was set free. The demons were slain and he is at peace. Knowing this helps a bit, but it doesn't help , it's too fresh.
    Time heals they say. It eases the pain, they say.
    God willing I say.
    My broken heart goes out to yours.

    I understand. And I'm sorry.
    My best friend, my balance, my lover, my other half. I never believed in soulmates but after almost 20 years of love, sarcasm, fights, protectiveness, genuine empathy, occasional petty bs, understanding,inside jokes and complete knowledge of each other- good and horrible- I believe that I had my soul mate the whole time. And now he's gone. I find a void inside me. A numbness to reality, clear thought, and feelings. I am dead inside, yet interspersed with an overpowering pain that can get as physical as emotional.
    And who would I always turn to when life got to be too big to handle? The one man who is no longer in this world.
    I understand your pain. I wish I could wrap it into more small manigible fragments for you. I wish I could for myself as well. For all of us.

    Thank you for the kind thoughts and words. Hugs go out to you. I meet a man on thanksgiving when I went to the cemetery to visit my parents and grandma. He was a couple rows right behind me. As i was getting ready to leave i stopped by and asked who he was here for. Choking back a some emotion he said his wife. Its been 4 years now he said. It was wierd we actually kept finishing each others sentences. He said they tell you it gets better but it doesnt. So true i told him just have to try to learn to live with it. So hard . I thruthfully never thought it would hit me like this. KNew i would be said but this is just heartbreaking.

    Some say the tears are healing

    Richard@123 Member

    Yeah well maybe the tears are but healing almost seems impossible i think its more learning to survive within the loss

    Another way to look at this is .our tears are an expression of our grief...the tears stopped eventually and there is some relief to try and be in the present with life.....its a continual cycle crying and then relief......eventually there will be a balance.... I have not found that yet but I am open to all healing that is possible

    I know. I used to love christmas movies with all the trajedy than it always works out in the end. Can not watch them anymore. Its so not real. Trouble is people that havent experienced it think thats how we are all supposed to act like theres a time limit or some miracle word. And as we know there is not

    Hello my name is Patrick and I am new to this site and desperately looking for relief. I lost my wife of 10 years on November the 16th her birthday was November 21st the day of her viewing. She was my soulmate, my best friend, my everything and I can’t see living life without her. The pain I feel is horrendous and the emptiness is overwhelming. Being in this house by myself is extremely painful and I feel hopeless. I know what you and many are going through though this is fresh foe me as I saw it is for you. I pray that we both find some comfort and relief from the pain. Please pray for me, asi will for you and many others I am reading about here.

    I can relate to you. Keep feeling your feelings. Let yourself cry.... ride the wave of intense emotions and keep a journal each day

    It does take time and its different for everyone... its 4 months for me... some days I am quiet and other times I cry and cry.......I do write down my day and I have a therapist. Support is very important..... people who really understand.
