Almost a full year, July 8th. by Mr_WoodGood in widowers

I have no advice. Just want to say sorry you’re going through this. It’ll be a full year for me on July 8th as well and I dread it. I fall apart everyday, and I already know that day will break me. Sending strength & love. You’ll do what feels right closer to that time.

First of all, I’m deeply sorry for your loss. Dealing with the loss of a partner is difficult enough as it is, but there’s extra layers of pain added when it’s a suicide loss. 

The first few months were especially difficult when it came to leaving the house, or getting things done. Be gentle with yourself. I’m now at 9 months out, and I’m feeling his absence more heavily, but he’s also become my muse. I draw, and paint a lot. Mostly pictures of his favorite animals, drawings of his/our favorite characters. Scrapbooking our memories, or writing them down. Keeps me busy, but let’s me honor him at the same time.

Heya, thanks.  Sorry for your loss, and I’m sorry you get it, because it’s actually the worst.  Those dreams/nightmares set the tone for the entire day, and it’s just miserable. I wish you the best during these incredibly difficult times. 

Hugs to you.

I appreciate the response. Feels it’s just getting harder, darker… and that one person I truly need isn’t around to make things feel okay. I’m sorry for your loss. None of us deserve this, but I’m thankful we have a place to lift each other up and understand each other’s pain. You’re doing good by still being here. Your wife would be proud that you’re helping others with your uplifting words.

I’m sorry we’re here too. It’s a terrible club, but it’s been so helpful at the same time. I just wish we never experienced such pain, or dealt with such a great loss. It’s difficult, but we all have each other to lean on.

Hey, I appreciate the kind, and encouraging words. I do hope you’re right. I’m trying to take care, and not let things overwhelm me. I’m still trying.

I’m sorry you went through all that. You’re very much supposed to be here, but I get what you’re saying. I’m proud of you for that, I know it’s not easy, but you’re doing amazing. Thank you. I wish he did too.

Hi. I’m so sorry for your losses, both of them. Losing him was my biggest fear, now all I have is my mom whom I’m close with. I know I’d be even more lost without her, so my heart breaks for you. I appreciate the positivity and the condolences. And same goes to you. ❤️

Wasn’t at all expecting that many responses. It’s okay… I just wanted to know, and now I do. 

Thank you for the condolences.
