I'm so sorry for the loss of your Doyle. 

I'm glad you found us.  We all help each other.  We are family here.

This is a very hard journey as you know. You need to take of you. Take one sec, min, hour , day at a time.  Scream , yell , cry , we all do it.

It might not be for you but maybe start a journal. I have a few of them.  I don't write as much as I did before.  Maybe see if there is a grief group in your area.

We are always here for you.

Always,

Lisa

Hi John - I'm so sorry for your great loss and thanks for sharing your story with us. Welcome to our webhealing family.

Grief can be overwhelming, having to deal with the pain as you are doing now and also the memories we're flooded with on a daily basis....it can get very confusing.

Try to take very good care of yourself by resting if you can't sleep, drinking plenty of water and eating sensibly. Our bodies also break down when we're grieving and it's easy to become very sick in early grief.

Please tell us more about your precious Doyle as you're comfortable and know there is always someone here to listen, day or night.

Sending hugs, love & understanding,

((((((((((John))))))))))

Love,
Terry

John - if you want to add to your post, just hit the reply button so that it will seperate from the orginal post, instead of modifying your original post, it will make it easier for all to see, we don't want to miss your posts!

You are welcome here.  There is no judgement, and we are all here to help each other - regardless of anything. 

Thank you for telling us about Doyle.....

Sorry for your loss and sorry you have to be here.

You have found a great group of people who truly understand and are more than willing to help anyone here, anytime.

This is such hard and terrible path for all.

Take care,

(((((((((((((((((( JOHN )))))))))))))))))

You are in a fog it's still RAW for you.  You just lost your long life partner. Memory and lonely it's because of your loss.  If you can pick up a grief book.

When my Lou passed a few friends bought me books.  I thought I was going crazy.  After I read the books I realized I'm not crazy it's part of my grief.

Yes everyone seems to go on.  We can't because we are in pain.  They don't get it unless they were "our shoes". 

I call my friends "normal" I'm this new person. If I want to talk about Lou I do. I will always keep is memory alive.

We are always here for you.

Sending you , love , peace and hugs


Always,

Lisa

((((John)))),

I'm also John, and I lost my wife to cancer 2.5 yrs ago. Welcome to webhealing. I'm sorry for the loss that brought you here but you found a good place to share your thoughts, feelings, questions. Although none of us wanted to start on this journey you couldn't find a more supportive bunch of fellow travellers.

hi everyone Im jsut still trying to figure things out why this and why that ect youve all been here and from what all Ive read from your posts and others on this site has been such a greeat help Im not very open or should I say Im learning how to become more open cause we lived shuch a shelterd lifestyle didnt have a lot of friends ect. but that was the way we liked it all we needed was each other we were our own party and boy did we do some back in the day many moons ago, I need to know the facts of what happend cause it happened so freaking fast so Im gonna go get a copy of his records for that 38 hrs.
I try not to cry but I cant control at times like now but they say your tears are all different tears of joy,tears of sadness ect. Lisa thank you for the advice on a book havent done it yet cause Im finding all of the eariler posts that all of ya'll have posted has been my book thus far I stay in my music alot bringing back the old memories and the new ones as well but just trying to get back to normal and I know that will neverr happen cause half of me is gone and that will never change everyday seems like another piece of me floats away this is a loney dark journey we are all on and dam I want out off or whatever else you want to call it just wish I could trade places we were suppose to grow older togather and when i see other older couples I break down and you know the rest of the story  but that was yesterday (good tune by the way lol) thanks for all of your support and your messages they mean a lot they really do.
Nov. would have been 35 yrs
