Losing a partner
21

I just put a curry into the oven to warm up.

I am crying so much because it was made just days before my husband died.

We would have made a batch of it together, eaten some of it together and then frozen enough for the two of us.

This sounds crazy but probably not to my friends on here.
I was looking to order a simple little tooth brush holder ( to take on my hols which I dearly wished my darling partner was going on ). I saw several but in packs of two. It made me feel sad as last time I did get a pack of two - one for each of us. Needless to say, I just couldn’t buy a pack knowing the other one wouldn’t be for my partner.
It’s those tiny things that can really upset yr day, sometimes as much as bigger stuff .

Sending love to all . Xx

I have found lighting a candle a comfort.

I hope lighting the candle comforts others in some way.

Sending love and hugs to you @roni52

We understand.

We wouldn’t wish this on anybody but it helps sharing with others who truly understand what we are going through.

Love,

It sure does Rose of course nobody wants to be here. But knowing the feelings we are feeling are normal and we ain’t going mad does help. It doesn’t take away the emptiness or the lonilness but of course. Xxx

Had no idea that Sunday would become my archenemy in this grief. The house becomes more silent and lonelier as the hours go by. When I finally sit down for a quick meal, it becomes unbearable. We used to play YouTube videos on our large screen with romantic piano music, order food or drive to our favorite lake mid afternoon. Now I open my eyes and wonder how am I going to fill all this hours while the sadness is making it so hard? I counted my support circle and I do have nine people that are there for me. But in reality they are not because they have lives and they can’t be here everyday. And my only family lives across the ocean and have to fly to see me. I am a member of the worst club ever. Stinker Sunday club.

Yes, this particular Sunday is a real stinker. I don’t know why, but today I just can’t function without wet eyes.
Everything reminds me he isn’t here and never will be again. I am suddenly reminded of when and why we bought everything in the house. I went out into the garden and remembered him up a ladder painting, pruning trees and sitting on the bench with him.
I managed to stay too busy to think yesterday. Today I just can’t escape the sadness and yearning.

My husband bought some rose bushes just before he passed away. They’ve been sitting in their pots, waiting. I decided, as it was a sunny day, to get them planted properly. Got three done and ended up in floods of tears because he’s not here to see them. Neither of us are gardeners but somehow he always knew what to do. Can’t describe the feeling of desolation and absolute emptyness. How do we get through this. I just can’t see any light at the end of the tunnel. I know it’s only 4 weeks since he passed but it feels like an eternity. I dread the future. I just don’t know how I’m going to carry on without him. :broken_heart::broken_heart::broken_heart::broken_heart:

When I light a candle for my husband, I light a second for other greatly missed loved ones.

Please view this as a lit candle for your loved ones.

I hope it brings some comfort.

Love,

Rose xx
