I have a gravesite to go to. It does little to help the pain. I feel better in putting flowers but I feel him at home more so. I don't think anything other than him walking thru the door, would make me feel better!I miss him so very much!! Cry & pray is all I do.

I know what you mean about couple. Each time I am out in public & I see husbands helping wives it hurts! I am jealous! Even in church, at that time I weep. Have to keep tissues as could happen at an moment...Tv everywhere. We were just beginning to enjoy life before the cancer :'(Nothing has an meaning for me now!!!

It will be 4 months the 8th since I lost my "My Soulmate" I feel like I will never be abled to go on. He was my Life!!! I pray & cry everything else I do is because I have to. We did everything together. Since Jan 08 when finding out he had lung cancer we were constant companions. Maybe one day I will follow him. I have 2 grandsons to keep me here for now..One day they will not need me.

Lonliness remains a huge issue with me. Im approaching 6 months since my wife died and the extreme, super-harsh emotions have eased after a couple of months. Grief group, counseling, calling people, just getting out of the house, attending events, book club, family events all help but I still go home to just me being there. Maybe the trick is in seeing that there are other lonely people out there too and many who are not going through grief as we are. I don't have many answers but I do know that simply writing out my thoughts and posting them here is of benefit to me. Keep posting and look for as many supports as you can find. I hate this journey alone but I don't have much choice in the matter.

Kevin, I know how you feel. Its been 3 mts since I lost my husband. I get very upset when I see couples together, anywhere! Its easier somehow to keep to myself. After 44 yrs being married, nothing can hurt so much!!!

andy1964, I am feeling the same way about my husband, James. He always promised we would go together! When the movie, The Notebook came out he gave it to me for anniversary. He had such a big heart. I hate to see couple together, it HURTS! You have your daughter & yes, she needs you. I know my family can go on without me. I feel so alone. I wait for a sign from him & I gat none & it worries me. I want to talk to noone, on phone or personally, go out  only  >:(when have to.

Yes, you definatly need a therapist. This is too much for you to deal with without help. Also, do stay close to your family!Especially brother, he also needs therapy.God Bless your family. What a tremendous loss.

 Was my old name &   that spelling was done so by accident. Thank you all for repling & I know its an uphill battle that I dread. I have thought of suicide at times, really have. I am not a social person. Its always been family for me!
