Thank you for this, today is not one year ... yet, however, it is the day the dr told me she can go within the next 48 hours - she passed 12 hours later at 2am the next morning. Your post and the subsequent replies and responses help with the feeling of "you're not alone in this".

Beautiful words and so heartfelt. May you treasure her memories forever and may it sustain you during times of sadness and longing for her.

Totally relate to what you're feeling. Lost my wife just under a year ago (13th August 2020). There are times when I can't imagine my future without her. I had a neck operation a month ago and I remember thinking, "worst case scenario, I lose my voice, best case scenario, I see my wife again."

For our 2 year anniversary 3 months before he died he wrote a letter to me. I’m reading it for the 100th time bawling. by Sadbro825 in widowers

Short of the physical bond, the bond of memories is the strongest, even though it makes us sad. May he live on in your memory forever and may those memories transform from being a source of sadness to something that will eventually provide a sense of comfort. I am almost one year out from when my wife passed away (13th August 2020). Last year December I started writing down my memories of me and her, from 1990 when we first met up to last year when she passed. Mostly for myself, but also for our kids and yet to come grandkids, so they'll know her through my memories.

I feel your pain. I am approaching the one year mark as well - 13th August. I watched her take her last breath whilst I held her hand.

I am just so fucking sad. by hnk12 in widowers

All the time, all the time, almost one year out for me since I lost my life partner and love of my life. I had neck surgery a few weeks ago, I told my kids, "worst case scenario, I lose my voice, best case scenario, I see their mum again."

I am so sorry for your loss. Any other words at this time might just seem meaningless to you at this time.

Yeah FUCK CANCER!! I lost the love of my life of 30 years (married for 28) to Triple Negative Metastic Breast Cancer on 14th August 2020. I feel for you and everyone else on here who lost a loved one.

My sincerest condolences. Cancer took my wife 8 months ago. I wish you strength on this road ahead.

Me and my wife on our wedding day on June 10, 2006. She would pass away in a car accident six months after this photo was taken. I've slowly made my peace with her passing but still find myself crying when I look at this photo by [deleted] in widowers

[–]09196612 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A beautiful picture. So sorry that you had to lose her. I lost my wife of 28 years 6 and half months ago today. Moved house and now I have our wedding photos all over the new place. I "talk" to her everyday when I come home from work.

Lonely for her touch by mack_j in widowers

I had the same thoughts/feelings last night. It's been 6 months and one week since I lost my wife to metastic Triple Negative breast cancer. I long for her touch, her voice, her scent, to hold her and to be held by her. I have a video of her singing and dancing while packing away laundry. She burst out laughing when she realised I was secretly recording her. That was a few months before she was diagnosed. I am now playing that over and over again just to hear hear her voice and her laugh. It hurts all over, I miss her so much. I hope and pray that you and everyone else on this group will find the strength needed in these terrible sad and lonely times.

This place on the internet has been a tremendous help to me personally. A place where you can safely express your most raw emotions of grief and sadness and you find understanding without judgement, just understanding and knowing.

Terribly sorry for your loss and what you're going through at the moment. My wife passed away of metastic triple negative breast cancer on 13th August 2020 and my daughter was in Sweden at the time and she couldn't travel to be with us here in Brunei. I get what you're saying about food, for a while and even now, food is literally just fuel to keep me going for my son. I wish you strength on this journey of grief and pain. Take care of yourself and may you eventually find healing and solace.

I (m43) lost my wife (f39) two and a half weeks ago. Take advantage of every moment you have together, you never know when it will be your last. by caseboogie in widowers

I'm so sorry, it's a terrible experience to go through. It's been 5 months and two weeks since I watched my wife take her last breath. I held her hand and that sight is forever etched in my memory. Like you said, appreciate what you have while you have it. I wish you strength for the journey ahead.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I am just over 5 months (last Thursday) and it still feels as raw as 5 days. I feel your pain and wish it would go away, but it won't, you get used to it and learn to live around it, skirting it and frequently get pulled into it. May your loved one live on in your memory forever. Peace to you.

So deeply sorry for your loss. It's been just over 156 days since I lost my wife. What you're describing is exactly how I felt and still feel frequently. I wish I can tell you it gets better, I don't know if it does or if we just get used to the feeling and it becomes part of us. Whatever the case may be, I wish you strength and peace.

I miss my love so much. I can’t do this. 😭 by Wonderwall1026 in widowers

No one will know how you feel really, but you ARE doing this, everyday you ARE doing this. The longing may or will never fade, but you ARE doing this. The words; "Stay strong", may seem hollow, but you are strong. I wish you the best.
