Hi all. I lost my husband 8 weeks ago. I’m struggling to cope with this overwhelming grief and sadness. I don’t know how to live without him after 43 years.

Dear Lilykitten I am so sorry to hear about your husband. My wife died on Christmas day after two years of cancer treatments. The pain during the first three months was unbearable but bit by bit it was replaced with a sadness and an emptiness. I found this site to be a godsend and I hope you find comfort here where everyone understands the pain of a bereavement . Thinking of you and sending hugs
Wishing you all the best Tom

Yes it is early day’s. Pete was only diagnosed with cancer 4 weeks before he died, no symptoms, no pain ( thankfully) and neither of us expected this as we were told he would have have a good chance of recovery.
We were together 44 years, married 43 and life is unimaginable without him.

That’s alot of shock thrown your way in a very short space of time with all the years you shared. So very cruel.
My husband was a Pete too.

You will be in shock and a fog , you will find the first few months are the worsted .
Take it slowly day by day
It is 13 months since I lost my husband of 36 years . And I still take it day by day
We all understand, and support each other
This forum has been a godsend for many of us . I hope you will find the same
Look after yourself

Peter means ‘Rock’ and that’s what he was, my rock.
The speed in which he was taken is impossible to process and I’ll never recover, he was my world.

It’s such a relief to talk to other people going through similar situations, it makes me feel less isolated.

Keep posting.
Let it all out!
Someone with always pop along to listen, maybe guide and most importantly understand.
You’ll need to as some days you will feel your head may explode! It really is too intense without releasing!
