Posted by Judith on 8/9/2007, 5:58 pm, in reply to "Lost my wife" I am truly sorry for your loss. I am still struggling with the loneliness I feel after 1 year and 5 months past my husband's death. Yes, people believe that telling you it gets better believe with their hearts they are helping. The loneliness at times, for me, is unbearable. Especially during special family gatherings, or special holidays, and even like our anniversary, his birthday, my birthday, etc. I still look to his favourite chair, and start crying because he isn't in it, smiling back at me with his sly grin. But, the memories help. Writing down in letters, poems, scrap books, or looking at pictures helps me through. Marvin, with all my heart, I send you my thoughts and prayers that you find some help through your friends, family, and if you ask your wife, she will help hold you up also. Lori, I am so sorry you lost your husband. I know not what you feel exactly, but I know your pain. I still have that pain when I am alone and when I cry because something I see on tv that Roy liked, or something I heard that reminds me of him and I cry so hard and that squeeze on my heart tigthens. Please know, with all my heart, I send you my loving thoughts and prayers that you also feel healing presence through your friends, family and if you ask your husband, he will give you strength to move forward. Lovingly,
Dearest friends,
In all honesty, I think the pain and the hurt just numbs a little bit. Sort of like a healing scar.
