My husband passed away July 16th, 2022 after surviving 7 months in a nursing home from a stroke. I had a strange feeling that day, and called the home only to find he died five minutes earlier. My other half and soul mate was gone. The house is silent, no one to greet me when I return, and I still can’t bare to look at happy pictures of us from the past. He was my everything for 41 years, and I’m not coping well without my LOVE.

So sorry Suzie, I know how it is to feel like a piece of you is missing. I lost my husband in January just before our 46th Wedding Anniversary, We were still very much in love, and held hands when we were out. I get some comfort in knowing we had that much time together, for some on this site they were not so lucky. But I would gladly give up 10 years of my life just to have him back for one more day. Be kind to yourself we share your pain and loss. Sending lots of love xxx

I don’t think it’s an accident that the saying ‘my other half’ came in to being. We grow to be so much a part of a partner we love that they become part of us and we of them. We are intertwined and you felt it when he moved away from this world.
Hugs

Hi Suze2
I am sorry for your loss.
I only just found this group, and posted for the 1st time the other day.
It sounds silly, but being able to put what your feeling into words, and knowing that other people understand helps.
Take care of yourself

Thanks Steve, and I’m sorry about your wife. It IS like a Grief rollercoaster except the world keeps moving while we’re at a standstill. Stay strong, and I’m glad I found this site. xxx

Sandi,
I was just thinking about that the other day - to have him back even for a few hours - see his face, hold him tight, and laugh together one more time. Very sorry about your loss xxx

Sue11, You take care of yourself also, and I’m sure it’s hard to imagine the world without your husband as do I. We don’t expect it, and we’re never ready to say goodbye to the one person who truly gave us the meaning of love.

I share the pain. It’s 17 months since my wife passed. Hate the quiet house. So envious I f old couples. Karen was 60 when cancer took her. I feel like eternity to go of this but soldier on for the kids and my grandson. It has got easier but will never be the same. I’ve accepted that. Good luck to you. x

Tommy104,
I’m sorry about your wife, and her passing at 60. Still so young, and had to be an incredibly sad time for you.
I agree nothing will ever be as it was, but in the same breath, our loved ones would want us to move forward for our own sake. I think you’re doing just that, and wish you peace and my best. xx

She told me that and I know she would, doesn’t make it any easier. She would have coped better than me would have swapped with her in a heartbeat. Thank you for your kind words. Love and luck to you. x

Today (March 4th) seemed harder for me since it was Jon’s Birthday, and I regressed to my lackluster state. But tomorrow’s another day, maybe a tad brighter. Hugs and Blessings to you Tommy. x

Oh Deb5, that’s far too young, and had to be a devastating shock. I’m not religious (now) but our minister invariably ended his sermon with the closing benediction prayer which gave us strength to face another day. May you somehow stay strong also.
