House no longer feels like 'home' without my wife

Sorry for your loss my husband died in august so I know how you feel my house is just the same it’s empty without him I have no one else living here. It’s the silence I hate I try to go out just to get away from the empty feeling but then I come back it’s all dark and cold I hate my life now

I’m very sorry for your losses all of you my wife passed away nearly 3 years ago in the early days I to didn’t want to be here the agony of it all was horrendous as the years have gone by I have never forgot her of stopped loving her the tears still come but not as often and the pain not as much but it is something you have to live with our lives will never be the same but I’m hopeful that one day I will be with her again I didn’t believe when I was told the pain will ease but it has a little hope this helps

Having read a lot of the comments on this site my heart goes out to you all. My wonderful wife Sylvia died in June after 46 years of happy marriage. She was my world and I thought things had come to an end without her. To mention her name brought a waterfall of tears just typing on this site would have the same effect.

I hope that it was my wife who turned on the light at the end of the tunnel for me. I can now talk about her, the tears well up but don’t come as easily, I keep my days full so I don’t dwell on things. Yes I would give anything to her have back but I am slowly coming to terms with having to live without her. I have even managed to get off the anti depression tablets that we were on following the loss of our lovely dog.

There will still be tough days ahead I have no family but a good set of friends and am going on a cruise for Christmas with friends.

My eyes are watering typing this but that’s progress on what I had before. I still think she is coming back but know that she isn’t. She wanted me to move on so I am sure it’s her hand on the light switch.

Don’t give up everyone we owe it to those who have gone and made our lives so worthwhile.
