I lost my husband of 38 years, together 42, in September this year. He was the most loving, caring, funniest, daftest man you could meet. I so miss his spirit & sense of fun & love. It hurts so so much.
I try to keep busy & do ‘normal’ things but when I go home & he’s not there, it’s just unbearable.

So sorry you are hurting and feeling so sad. There are no words. Its only been a few weeks really my husband and best pal and my whole world passed away in August. We miss their laughter and fun. Its so quiet and there is no joy. Ive got the radio on. The TV on. Not really listening or watching. Just need noise. Looking at photos. May do a doodle art…distraction helps. Body and mind are tired. I cannot cry today im so lost. Sending you hugs. One day at a time. I hope soon we will be able to remember the happier memories

I am so sorry. I hear you loud and clear. My husband died September 24. I’ve been numb and in a fog - unable to leave the house but for necessities.
Hour by hour is how I get through each day. I still can not comprehend it all. I make lists of things I must do and check them off or I forget. Mostly, I walk in figure 8s around my house and yard.
My heart hurts for you. This widow thing is just awful and I am sorry you are in this crummy club.
Hugs.
