I lost my wife a week ago i am now broken to pieces all I need is her back by my side will this happen no.
I am now at a loss we done everything together 42 years together massive loss don’t know how I will come to terms with her passing if I ever will house lonely I have my golden retriever dog which is some comfort but I need my wife don’t think I can go out haven’t drove car for week don’t think I ever will we went on outings together with our dog I am 71 so longing for the I meet her again as I believe I will can’t come sooner.
So sorry for your loss, at this very early stage all you can do is take it hour by hour and be kind to yourself. Try to seek out bereavement meetings were you can talk to others in the same situation.
I lam 60;and lost my husband very unexpectedly in January. We were together over 40 years. I didn’t drive my car for about 3 weeks from what I remember although looking back those first 4 months are such a blur. I never thought I would come as far as I have these last 10 months, but somehow I have got through so much. I have my dog, a red fox lab and he has been my best friend. I try to just go take one day at a time. Some days all I do is take my dog for a long walk. I used to walk along the beach crying, but now I enjoy the views and the nature. It is so early for you. I just wanted you to know you are not alone xx
Your body is still in massive shock at this early stage 7 days..
I am into my 8th week now after losing “my one and only” my Ron, my life..
Im still in deep shock and keep crying, I belive it’s good to cry as it helps to relieve stress, but I personally don’t feel any better after i cry.
Again I am so sorry for your loss and its hard to know what to say as nothing helps..
I am happy you have your little dog, I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have my dog and cat and now I have adopted Rons cat as well, even though they can’t talk the way they surround me when I’m crying and look at me with silent compassion says everything I need to know.
Please take care of yourself and we are all here for you in this group…..
I really appreciate your advice I hope i can mend but it’s a hard path ahead I have lost all my immediate family so alone with my dog friends say you will get ova it but it’s a journey I have to walk until I get get to the end othe the journey where my wife will be waiting for me and reunited.
People who are not going through what we are going through will never ever know what it feels like until they sadly one day will have to go through this themselves, and sadly very single person on this earth will one day go through this whether it’s a husband or wife, a Brother or Sister, a son or a daughter, a niece or a nephew, a Boyfriend or Girlfriend, Mother or Father it very sadly comes to us all sooner or later.
I have had many personal losses iny life, but losing my partner of 32 years has been the hardest blow ever..
You are quite correct i hope i can and I hope you can heal also but ti.e will tell I will never forget her after 42 years together and I know you will not either hopefully happier days ahead for both of us take care.
Your very true hope you have many happy years ahead be we will try to be brave and strong if we can but what can we do we are on a production line if this is the right wording like a knitted jumper that you pull out to reuse the wool but unfortunately it can’t be used once you get to the end I think times up but you will see your loved one again that’s my belief everyone has there belief so be strong and hopefully we’ll get through it never to be forgotten
Yes I believe there’s life after death to we will reunite with our loved one’s once we pass they will be waiting for us to guide us to be with them for eternity and our heartbreak will be over once and for all but unfortunately we have to wait and be patient I am 71 now so sooner than later for me years are passing very quick once you get older thank you for understanding.
I understand completely what you mean i am 65 whereas I would never do anything to myself I also say the sooner I’m with my Ron the better, he holds the key to my happiness.
I’ll say nite nite and remember you’re not alone in this and also your lovely wife will be watching over you keeping you strong….
I’m so sorry that your wife died recently. I know that is so very hard for you. My husband died in 2024 and it’s still difficult for me. What I do is talk to God and ask for his help in getting through this difficult time when my life is so different from what it used to be. You and your wife were married for many years. Happy ones I’m sure. It’s difficult when you’ve been with someone a long time and then they are up in Heaven and you are left down here all alone. That happened to me too. My husband and I were married for 30 years. He was 83 when he died and I’m 79. All our family and friends are all up in Heaven so here I am, like you all alone. Driving the car again was also a challenge for me but I did it because I had to. There was no one else and cabs are expensive and these days not that safe. You will be driving your car again if only because you need groceries. That’s what got me started on driving again.
You are lucky that you have your sweet dog for company. That does help, I’m sure. I don’t have a pet but I do feed the little gray squirrel peanuts. It takes the loneliness away a little.
This is a hard time for both of us but we will be reunited in Heaven with our loved ones in God’s time. I will say a prayer for you.
Thank you for your support we just have to walk the journey till it’s our time to be reunited with our loved ones then we will be together for eternity. Wish you all the best for the future ahead bless you and thank you again
Thank you so much for your kind words. Things will get better for both of us but sometimes it takes a while. Keep praying and having faith. God will be there for both of us. Pet your sweet dog for me!
