I lost my husband, Mick, on 13 December last year. It was completely out of the blue and such a huge shock. I am utterly distraught. I have lots of support from my wonderful family and friends, but everything seems to be so pointless. We would have been married 40 years on 1st June this year. I am still holding a celebration for family and very close friends at our home, but I still can’t believe he won’t be there with me. We were together for 43 years; he was my best friend and soul mate. I fell in love with him the first time I saw him and never stopped loving him. I don’t think I’ll ever come to terms with being without him.
Dear Maria, We totally understand how you feel, we on here are all on the same path. I lost my darling wife of 52 years just over a year ago. I still love and miss her every day. It is great that you have support from your family and friends. Something that we have learned, is that no one who has not lost a long term partner, like we have can understand the loss, that you are going through. I have found thar the grief comes in waves and can be triggered by anything, but after a year I do seem to manage it a little better. Grief seems to be the price of love, if it is I still would not have missed the love my wife and I had, Even at this price. Come on here for a chat or even a ramble like I have just done, we do understand. Get yourself a big hug from one of your family.
Hi Maria251
It is good you have family and friends supporting you, but only those who have lost a husband or wife can fully understand. They have been the love of your life and you chose them. It is so difficult as that sadness, no matter where we are is with us.
My husband died 20 months ago It would have been our 50th wedding anniversary on the 24th May.Im going to London to spend time with my sons. Sadly Keith not here to celebrate.
Hope you have some good days and enjoy your celebration. Im sure there will be tears.
Love your family.
