I lost my wife of 39 years just before Christmas…she was in hospital being treated for diabetes and after 4 days in hospital died from an unexpected and undiagnosed condition.
My heart is broken as when she passed in the middle of the night i wasnt there for her when she needed me…otherwise i was with her for all visiting hours as she didnt want to be i hospital…
I know i did all i could but my grief still consumes me knowing the house is so empty without her…
@Tim_w1 try not to be so hard on yourself as you have said you did all you could for your wife and that is the main thing.
We can all relate to the loneliness and emptiness of the house, it’s not good is it.
I lost my husband at the end of September last year after 47 years of marriage but I have found this site helpful as we all have one thing in common and that we have all lost a loved one and grief is the price we pay for love.
