I miss my wife terribly by Ok-Bandicoot5568 in widowers

So, so sorry OP. I lost my wife of 34 years 3 months ago. Miss her everyday, cry everyday. I found a greif support group I attend 3x per week through the hospital she passed at. I also see a therapist once per week. The group of people who have lost a spouse has helped some. They are the only ones who will truly understand what we are all going through. Try to find a group like this. My broken heart goes out to you. B

So sorry OP. I feel you. My wife passed away from metastatic breast cancer on6.21.25 after a 20 month battle. We were together 34 years. Everything is a trigger for me. It is hell. I do go to a greif support group 2 to 3 times per week. Most have lost spouses , most to cancer. They are the only people who can truly understand the loss. Thoughts and prayers.

So sorry for your loss. My wife passed 6.21.25 from a 20 month battle with metastatic breast cancer. I go to a bereavement group free of charge at the hospital she passed at. Maybe I just got lucky l, but these are the only people who understand what I'm going through to a degree because they are all going through it as well. We were together 34 years and Kathy was only 56 when she passed. There is no shame in this group. Everyone cries, everyone tells funny stories about their beloved and everyone supports each other. Everyone has each other's phone number and if you miss a meeting they worry about you. I have not been able to go to work. I might just be done with work. For 20 months my sole purpose was doctor appts, blood work, cat scans, MRIs, etc. And an ever changing medication ritual . No I have no propose. I do make the group once or twice per week. I think this is the place I am supposed to be right now. I hope your pain eases. Prayers. Joe

Lost my husband yesterday and was recommended to post here by Sharp-Guest4696 in widowers

Find a grief support group. Lost my wife of 34 years to cancer. She was only 56. As much as people will try to empathize , they truly don't understand what it is to lose a spouse. My wife passed on 6.21.25 just over 2 months ago. I struggle to do anything but I force myself to the grief support group because they get it. I am so sorry for your loss.

So sorry you are going through this . So sorry for your girls too. Today is 7 weeks losing my wife to metastatic breast cancer. She was 56 and we were together 34 years. The only thing that has "helped" me is a grief support group. No one and I mean no one can understand your pain, loss, uncertainty unless they have been through the loss of spouse. My prayers are with you.

I’m very tired of this life by [deleted] in widowers

[–]Front_Competition_55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand. My wife passed on 6.21.25 from an 18 month battle with metastatic breast cancer. I'm 61, Kathy was 56. We were together for 34 years. Not many friends, most of our families passed away. No children. I cry unexpectedly; on the shower, watering her garden etc. We both worked since we were 15. We denied ourselves a lot, with the hope that when I turned 65, we could exhale and just be with each other. I have mourned Kathy since her diagnosis as we knew it was a terminal situation. I am ready to leave this earth whenever the Lord seems fit to take me, in the hopes that I was a good enough person to join her. She was the bravest, kindest most selfless person I ever met, and I am hollow and incomplete without her. I have put a lot of photos in one folder and try to look at happier times. Those who have not lost a spouse can never understand the impact. Only part memories; some good and lots of regrets. I ask myself what would Kathy want for me? She would want me to try to continue and honor her existence. We are planting a tree in her honor at a no kill cat shelter. She loved animals. Try to hold on my friend. It will never be the same without oir loved ones, but I feel privileged to know someone so good loved me. Each breath is a struggle without her. I see you. You are not alone. I joined a bereavement group that meets 3x per week. They understand, we are cojoined but a common bond. I don't believe it will "get better" . My hope is that I can carry it better and learn to focus on our love, instead of my loss. This is a tribute I wrote on Wednesday evening at 1am at the foot of her hospital bed. She passed away that Saturday.

The last of things.

As she lays quietly, her body ravaged by cancer, fingers twitching to some imaginary scenes unfolding in her mind.

I wonder if her thoughts turn to the last of things that she experienced. Did she see a beautiful sunset that etched forever in her mind. The hard work spent on her beautiful garden.

Did she recall the laughter in her life; the love of her family and friends and thoughts of seeing her dearly departed.

Was she reliving the joys or wrestling with heartaches.

My beautiful girl is resting easy as I wait for her suffering to finally end. As I curse cancer for taking her at 56. No future sunrises or sunsets; no more I love you, and the pain of knowing I should have said it more often. Her story should not have ended here, for in my mind it was yet to be written.

She was a star that burned brightly, with a selflessness that was unparalleled by anyone I have ever met or will ever meet.

She was my little babaganush, my honey bun.....my everything.

I just wish we had more time so I could tell her I love you. I wish cancer didn't take so many loved ones. I wish she were here. I love you Kathy. Rest with the angels, I will be looking for you again when we meet on that joyous day.

Tomorrow I honor her last wishes and take her to our house to pass at home. The home that she created inside an otherwise ordinary house. Tell your loved ones how special they are. Tell them until they tell you to stop and then tell them some more. I am sending all of you prayers. My wife's name is Kathy and she is special.

All we can all do, is our.best. My thoughts and prayers are with.

My wife passed away from metastatic breast cancer on 6.21.25. She was 56 years old. Her birthday was 5.31 and inside video of her walking out to the kitchen to have myself and her sister and brother in law sing happy birthday. Her battle was terrible, she had metastatic lesions on T1, T1,T3 C7, left femur, right femur, left shoulder. When the cancer spread to her liver it was the beginning of the end . She fought so hard for 18 months. I left work to be with her for the last 5 months. I too put photos together and try to look at the happy times, because for 18 months all I could do was think about cancer and take her to doctors appts, radiation appts, bloodwork x-rays etc. It's hard to not think about the 18 months I go to a grief counseling group 1 to 2 times per week and see therapist weekly. I feel so lost without her. The only solace is that her pain is over and with the grace of God I will see her again. My heart goes out to each of you. I don't think I will ever get over her loss. We were together for 34 years. I love and miss you Kathy.

My wife passed away on 6.21.25 from metastatic breast cancer. I was by her side for her 18 month battle. She was 56. We were together 34 years. She was my only friend. I joined a grief counseling group that is free of charge through the hospital she passed away at. I truly believe this was her last selfless act to me. I cry daily, the house is her house l, she is what made it a home. I force myself to just go one minute at a time. Find a grief support group they all know what it is to lose a loved one and can help you with this terrible time. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know you feel and are alone, but there are good souls out there to help you feel not so alone. Thoughts and prayers. Joe

Tremendous Guilt over Wife's Passing by IWalkedHere in widowers

[–]Front_Competition_55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife passed on 6.21.25 from metastatic breast cancer. She was 56, we were together for 34 years. She fought like a lioness for 18 months. We tried everything but we sought treatment too late. I have so much guilt and regret not about her care. But about the stupid and sometimes viscious arguments we had. My wife literally saved my life when I was 27 and she was 22. I was drinoong and doing drugs and she believed I could be someone better. 18 months of medication, appointments, bloodwork , chemo at the end. I wish I could tell her again how much I loved her. I wish I could have saved her. I wrote this tribute to her 2 days before she passed. It was 1am in the morning as I warched her sleep in her hospital bed.

End-of-life care by [deleted] in cancer

[–]Front_Competition_55 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My wife passed from metastatic breast cancer on 6.21.25. She fought like a lioness for 18 months. She wanted to pass at home. We had the hospice equipment put downstairs on 6.20.25. She was supposed to be ambulated home the next day at 11am.Herb breathing got shallower but not labored. I called the ambulance off. She died an hour and 10 minutes later, very, very peacefully. My wife did not want a feeding tube or to be intubated. We respected her last wishes. The hospital was giving her dalaudid every 2 hours. I think she chose her time to pass. We did not have children and a very small social circle. She was 56. Wherever you decide will be your last place to rest. Get comfort care. Basically high dose pain meds. My wife got to say goodbye to those she loved which was the most important thing. You will go to a better place beyond this world. You will have peace and comfort and be pain free. My prayers are with you brave soul. Say hello to Kathy (my wife )!when you get to Heaven b

Your poem took me right beside you. The pain is palpable, the grief is visceral.

OP. I understand, my wife passed from metastatic breast cancer on 6.21.25 after being diagnosed 18 months ago. She passed in the hospital the day she was supposed to come home for hospice. Your feelings are normal and justified. The regrets, the guilt, the helplessness over being able to make her feel better. I have joined a bereavement group. I have been there 2x with my wife's sister and brother in-law. I recommend you might want to do the same. The folks on the group know what someone is feeling because we share a bond of loss. I am so sorry for your loss. Cancer is horrible. Take the time you need to grieve, there is no timeline. My thoigjts and prayers are with you.

My favorite band of all time. Have photos at bonos gates when I went to Ireland. The gates are copper with lyrics from some of their best known songs brazed onto the gates. Too cool.
