As I am not really active on this forum now due to time constraints there are so many of you who will have started this terrible journey since I’ve been here.
Just for background, I lost my darling husband almost 2 1/2 years ago when he went out to play his regular football and never came home. He had suffered a coronary embolus without warning. He was slim, fit, very strong and seemingly in excellent health apart from the odd aches and pains. He was a young 60 year old.
I joined here five months after his death and have made some very close friends through it. We started Zoom meetings and have become firm friends and I have met up with most of them.
I would like to set up a new Zoom group for anyone who feels they would like to try it and meet others who understand this terrible loss. As many of us know, people who have not experienced it often cannot ‘get it.’
The early days are simply nightmarish to get through, then there seems to be a three month period when things seem worse, which can get very confusing.
Now, after 2 1/2 years, I have a pretty good life. It’s not all I wanted it to be and never can be but I go out, enjoy many of my days, with my darling husband always in my heart. He is still a huge part of my life and I know I’ll never ‘get over’ losing him but it is less overwhelming and all consuming and I can laugh and do things I’d never have thought possible in those early months.
There are still plenty of tears at times but less frequently than before.
If anyone would like to be added to the Zoom private chat to get links to the meeting, either reply here or PM me. I hope you can gain as much as I have from getting to know others a bit better.
