Hi. I guess we’re all in the same boat. I lost my husband a month ago. It’s early days I know. The house is so quiet without him. I don’t want anyone else to replace him ever. He was the love of my life and completely irreplaceable. But, i can’t look forward to anything about life without him. Friends and family i love but it’s not the same without your other half, your soul mate. I guess time will help…

So sorry for your loss. I lost my angel and soulmate 9 months ago yesterday and now the house is still so quiet and so empty without him. The feeling of loneliness is horrible so I talk to my angel every morning noon and night - it has helped me to keep carrying on so far. It’s comforting to feel he is by my side, though not physically.
Please take care and try to take one day at a time.
I believe it will get better over time but how long I guess it will depend on each individual as we all cope differently.
Sending hugs & strength x

Hi @DebsandBob @Angel1309
Yes it is so quiet and the house is just not the same anymore. We both loved this house it is a bungalow we planned to retire here go on holidays now 8 months on it makes me sad to know that this will not happen. Reminder on phone 1 year ago today we were in Fiji were he was born and the next time i will be there will be to scatter his ashes 
it will be sad but it was where he wanted.
We took his mums ashes together in 2018 to scatter.
Nothing will ever prepare us for whats ahead and how long each of us has so now i take every day as a bonus.
Take care

I miss my beautiful wife Elissa, she has been so poorly especially the last few months before she passed away. I used to sit and hold her hand and / cuddle her and could see in her beautiful eyes that she was begging me to help her to end her suffering and turmoil. We had a brilliant Sue Ryder nurse and MacMillan were excellent, we made sure her respect form said exactly what she wanted and followed it to the letter.
My home is full of photos of her and mostly before she became poorly- that’s how I remember her, my sun bunny with the sun on her face in LA or in Thailand …… happy times that she would want to be remembered for.

Hi @Cat_fan
Yes missing our loved ones is so hard.
Our memories are what we have now and will be with us until the say we die.
This week for some reason has been been hard and lots of tears cant quite figure out why coming upto 8 months now.
Maybe its because of Valentines Day and no card to receive or send. Maybe because 3 years ago when i was diagnosed with cancer he was here for me now he isn’t.
Dont know but i feel pretty sad or maybe today last year we were on holiday together in Fiji little did we know 4 months later he would be gone. I will miss our holidays now.
Take care
