I lost my husband 8 weeks ago and the emptiness and the grief seems to be getting worse. We were together for 61 years. He was my sole mate, best friend. Is this part of the grieving process? I struggle when mostly in the evenings.

HI Marlene
i know how you feel i lost my husband 9 weeks ago we wee together 56 years married 54 years next month its a long time to be together and its a big chunk thats been takn away it will take time to heal and some days will be worse than others
sometime you will fel as if your going backward with your grief but dont expect too much too soon
try to keep yourself busy and take one day at a time never plan what your going to do tomorrow just do what you want when it comes
the evenings do seem the worse as they always the longest my dog has helped me a lot because i get out with her 3 times a day and get picked up to go on dog walks
everybody grieves different so do what you feel is right for you there is no limit
take care

Thank you pat it just sometimes seems as the grief gets worse I have 2 dogs and would be lost without them. Friends and family say it takes a very long time to feel better but at the minute just want to know where he is and is he happy and out of pain and with our son who died 50 years ago at the age of two years

I have had those thoughts too hopeing he is happy and no pain anymore
its funny how dogs always seem to help still some one to talk to
grief does take time to get through but hopefully we all come through it stronger with all the happy memories we have
im sure your husband is with your son again now nice to have that thought to cling to
take care

I’m thinking of you. It’s horrible and sad. There’s no way to avoid the feeling of total grief and loss. You need to have company, friends or family for a while. At the moment it’s a case of letting out all the tears and emotion. Just cry it out, it will help.
We know our husbands are no longer in pain or discomfort, but we want to know where they are. I am a believer and have hope in an after life. I can’t believe he’s gone without any trace or any future existence it’s just too final.
As for you you must allow yourself to grieve that loss. It’s so hard but we are here for you.
