This life is no life any more

Dear Rachel

I am so sorry for your loss and heartache
I completely understand you
I loss my husband 4 years ago and I too am loss without him
I find it hard to have a purpose now

When you have loved someone so much for whatever length of time you feel empty

What’s good about this site is we are all in the same boat and understand
Keep coming on the site we are all here to listen to you and maybe comfort

It is still so raw for you. You have friends on this site who understand. Take one day, or hour, at a time and don’t expect too much of yourself. You are wounded and need time and care. Sending comfort Barbara

I know exactly what you mean and how you feel. I myself am coming up to two years in April and it has got no easier. I have been numb since my husband died, I keep being told I have changed I am not the person they knew. Of course I am not the same person, how can I be , we did everything together, I was spoiled rotten by a man that loved me very much as I loved him, so how could I possibly be the same without him. I do stupid things because I do not have any direction or sense of purpose in life anymore
I feel your pain as I am sure we all do on this site but we are here for you

Thanks. Keep your heart open, talk to any widows or widowers nearby. It really helps. Don’t isolate yourself.

Couldn’t agree more, I’m sorry you are suffering the awful pain of losing your beloved. It’s so difficult, I know I have completely changed, I’m only half the person I was.
I have no concept of time or dates and have to be reminded of every thing.
My sister in law invited me out for lunch next Sunday and I asked her if it was a special occasion and she said she yes, it’s Mother’s day.
My Pete also spoiled me rotten, we absolutely adored each other and I feel like my life is over since I lost him very suddenly in November 2021.
People say stupid things, I guess they mean well but unless you have been through it you have no idea how much it effects every aspect of our lives.
Take care

Guys, reading the messages on here breaks the heart.
Seventy years old and five years since I lost her after 46yrs of bliss, I to just wait for the final curtain.
I’m just glad it’s me going through this, and not her. At least she hasn’t to go through years of sadness and grief, which at least is a blessing. Thinking of you all…J
