Losing someone you couldn’t imagine living without feels like the world has shifted, but no one else seems to notice.
The days keep coming, people keep talking, life moves on but you feel stuck in a moment that no longer exists.
Their absence isn’t just emotional it’s physical, it’s reaching for their hand in the dark, dialling their number before remembering they wont answer, hearing their favourite song and feeling the air leave your lungs.
Grief isn’t just sadness it’s love with nowhere to go and somehow you learn to carry it not because you want to but because you have no other choice
Yes, it’s like being in a parallel world and you can feel like an outsider. I feel it, too. Everyone else is living, but the grieving are just ? somewhere. It’s a strange feeling.
I understand how you feel, I feel like half of me is missing and I’m not living anymore just existing
This is exactly how I feel and it is 17 months now xxx
Its been 4 months for me, I still keep hoping he’s coming back to me
It’s nearly 4 years and 2 months since Alan died.
I still miss him so much as the days and years pass.
The pain of grief softens a little, but I still miss him today and every day.
Poppet
I feel exactly the same
Im so sorry for your loss x
Yes I still can’t believe he’s not coming back. I am hoping there is after life and I will see him again. If not it is unbearable and whatever I am doing I am always thinking about him and us. Love and hugs to all in this awful situation xxx
Me too, Im waiting for the day where I can be with him again, I miss him everyday, just want to be with him.
Two years since I lost the love of my life, I haven’t moved on and don’t think I ever will, when I lost my husband my soul mate i also lost me the person who was me will never return
That’s how I feel too!
Even after 4 years, it hasn’t got any easier, and time certainly hasn’t healed. The tears are never far away.
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with my life, how do I move forward when my heart is completely broken the day my husband died I died to, have I got to hurt like this until my last breath is this the price we pay for loving someone so much x
Thats how I feel x
Just waiting for the day to join him again x
Please God we do join our loved ones again.
At least we know how very lucky we were to have someone in our lives that loved us so unconditionally and to have a love that not many people experience in their life time, xxx love you my husband xxx
Spent the afternoon going through photos to get together an album of my husband. So many memories it was hard but we had been together for 55 years
That’s a long time to be with someone, I was with my husband for 22 years, we had just celebrated our wedding anniversary 3 days before we found out he had cancer.
