This is the candle I lit & brought to the alter last friday night at our towns bereavement mass. Such an emotional intense occasion. I relit this tonight for my wife and everyone here.
I lost my beautiful beautiful wife (early 50s) just 6 weeks ago. Lost to cancer. Together 30 years. The intense sadness really hit after the months mind … probably because all the official engagements and funeral business was done.
This afternoon I was working away on my creative music stuff - divert the mind. At 4pm a sudden intense panic hit like a freight train with the words OH MY GOD MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE IS DEAD suddenly shouted loud in my head …
Prayers and all my best to everyone else here going through this painful time of grief and loss.

Thank you… it is 28 weeks today since I lost my husband very suddenly to a heart attack. Every Sunday since has been an ordeal to get through. It helps to know I’m not alone having to deal with this overwhelming sadness

I try to light 2 candles every Sunday.
The first is for my darling husband who died suddenly and unexpectedly on a Sunday.
I was next to him but it was so quick neither of us could say goodbye.
He was a kind, gentle, caring, funny man.
He is the love of my life and always will be.
It is now also for one of our cats who had to be put to sleep two weeks ago on a Saturday.
My husband and cat adored each other.
The vet said the cat was grieving in the weeks following my husband’s death. He cuddled me and kept me company all the time and got me through those devastating months up until he too had to leave.
The second is for others adored, loved, missed and mourned.
I light it to remember them and hopefully bring some comfort however small or large.
It is for all of us.
I wish I could take away our pain but sadly it is not possible.
So I send you love, hugs and candles xxx

@acodr its such a loss . Only the ones who lost our partners can relate to your pain . Everyone is different but I am sure many have been in deep shock at the point you are . There are no words that can describe how hard it is to lose them in their 50 s . I am a member of that awful club . We too had 30 beautiful years together . Just look after yourself and keep posting here for support . A virtual hug to you . Thanks for the beautiful candle
I light a candle for my husband and look at his photos often.
It is 33 weeks. And they put his gravestone in this week.
It’s a good job I bought a double plot because this week I’ve been told I have breast cancer. I’m so sorry for my children.
They lost their stepfather who they think of their Dad - he was just 59. And now they might loose me. I’m 54. Why? Why does the universe need to do this to us?
At 19 and 17 they are not ready for this.
Say a prayer and light a candle for the living too please.
