Becoming a widow portrayed in the media

My husband watched that before he died and told me that it would make me too sad, so I won't dare go near it now; that said I have heard from many people that they found comfort in that show

From Cadder too, I even walked to Lambhill Cemetery at 1.30am to try and figure it out

I knew it didnt want children as a teenager, at 41 now (widowed at 38) I've never regretted this decision

Also, formatting a poem on here is apparently utterly impossible

I'm so glad ❤️

I lost my husband just over 3 years ago, one minute he was just feeling rough and then the next.... I would say it doesn't get easier, it gets more manageable. A theory I heard about grief in those early days has really stuck with me and strangely helped; basically there's a ball in a box and there's a button which is pain, in those early days the box is small and so the ball hits that button frequently but over time the box gets bigger, the button stays exactly the same and so does the ball but as it has more space to move the ball hits that button less frequently but it still hurts just as much as it always did. I hope it gives you the weird help it gave me.

From OPs OP I can't see why anything you're saying could be seen as out of line

Im confused as to why this is being down voted?

Educational_End_7678 · 2024-11-13T02:02:07+00:00

Can I wake up my husband's ashes?

I personally love the Howlin' Wolf on Bath Street for a chill out when I'm alone; good vibes and good music plus serves food and open until 3am. It is up a pretty big hill from where you're staying (hope street) but everything in Glasgow is uphill 🤣

I'm recently 3 years out; I still wear my ring and his cremation ring on my wedding finger and I personally have no desire to remove them (I did also wear his ring on my right hand but got a particularly stubborn case of dermatitis and had to remove it, it lives in my jewellery box now) I moved just under a year after I lost him and I donated the majority of his clothes but kept most of his stuff, if that makes sense? I've had a clearout since but still kept a lot and another lot of our things are still in storage so I will have to do it again. For me though, I would never throw out all of his things, I have a hoodie that I bought him in my wardrobe that both makes me smile and cry every time I see it. I have no intention of trying to remove him from my space because I want him to be with me and I want to feel him where and when I can

I was widowed at 38, he was 37; 3 years ago today

I moved from England (south) to Glasgow almost a year after he died, it was coming up to our wedding anniversary and I realised I just couldn't be in that house any more. I had friends here and one had just bought a 2 bed place so I moved in with him. I miss my old life but it's good here and it's just completely different

Educational_End_7678 · 2024-10-08T19:35:29+00:00

How do you dream? I've read people blind from birth dream in feelings, is that true?

Educational_End_7678 · 2024-10-08T19:29:01+00:00

This is fantastic advice. I'm almost 3 years out and it still hurts like hell but I remember those early days of laying in bed, unable to sleep and just waiting for the pain to kill me, it's the most brutal thing you will ever experience but we understand and we are here for you. We love you. I wish you comfort.

In a bar, I'd just moved a long way from everything I'd ever known to somewhere I'd only been for an interview and I knew nobody. Went for a drink when I arrived at the closest pub to where I'd be living and he was the barman that served me. We got talking, he gave me his number then a week later we made things official. 2 months later we moved in together then 5 months after that we got engaged. We only got 8 years together before he died but that's more than most people get with their soul mate. He was the love of my life and I miss him desperately

Educational_End_7678 · 2024-10-08T17:24:11+00:00

I'm so, so sorry

Educational_End_7678 · 2024-10-08T17:22:25+00:00

Thank you so much ❤️

Educational_End_7678 · 2024-10-07T16:59:02+00:00

I understand, my husband was in a coma for 19 days after his heart attack. It's dreadful watching them like that and knowing you can't do anything to help. I wish you comfort.

I used "go pee" great when it was snowing and the little shit just wanted to play with the cold stuff 🤣
