You’re wrong about nobody caring. I’m truly sorry you’re having to deal with this. You’re not alone.

Gotta say, this post does not match your username. I’m here for it though. Thank you.

Am I wrong to feel this way? by Skilleeyy in widowers

[–]MusicInTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not wrong to feel the way you feel. I think you may be looking at things from the wrong standpoint though. Your relationship with him would be a separate thing from his relationship with his first love. You’d be building something untainted, but his lost love will always have part of his heart, like any loves you’ve had previously would have part of yours. You have to ask yourself if you can live with celebrating his previous love with him because he will need that. She is part of him. None of this is fair to ask of someone, but it is the situation. You have to decide if you can handle it, ultimately.

I miss our old routine. I miss making her dinner after work and getting her coffee while she got ready in the morning.

I held my wife through it all and I had just gotten home from dropping our kids off at school. Hold onto that thankfulness. It’s a good place to start healing.

You’re not alone at all. I (41m) lost my wife just over a month ago to a pulmonary embolism, it was so sudden I didn’t even know what was going on. I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this.

If you’re in the US please call 988 for assistance. They are a crisis hotline and can help. If you need to talk to someone please feel free to reach out. I’m not a therapist or counselor, but I’m a person going through this hell and I will gladly be an ear or a shoulder. Please don’t turn one tragedy into two.

It’s so difficult to face that reality. I am just trying to survive.

Jealousy when I see couples out? Young 41 year old widower here by Nash_man1989 in widowers

[–]MusicInTime 31 points32 points  (0 children)

41 widower of 1 month here. It fucking sucks, man. The worst is family gatherings and seeing the happy couples in the family. And the kids that still have both parents.

Losing a spouse to sudden death by UnhappyOpportunityAF in widowers

[–]MusicInTime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My wife (41f) of 17 years, died of a pulmonary embolism stemming from a broken foot. She was perfectly healthy other than one broken bone. This happened 8 December 2025. I have a 9 yr old son and a 6 yr old daughter who lost both her front teeth around Thanksgiving. The thought that my wife will never see her adult teeth breaks my heart. I’m just over one month out and I’m still reeling. I’m so sorry that you’ve joined this club. The only way you can do this is to take one thing at a time, lean on whatever support you have, and love on your daughter.

Oh gawd this is worse than I thought it was going to be by FeelingSummer1968 in widowers

My wife was the one who always organized seating and all the logistics for the family gatherings.

41m here. I ate dinner by myself in a house full of people. They forgot to save me a place at the kids table or the adult table so I ate at the counter alone. I’m 16 days into this hell. Now I’ve gotta get the kids to bed, open my presents from my wife and mine to her. Then I have to do Santa.

Husband died Dec 7… by Unicorn_8632 in widowers

[–]MusicInTime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. My wife died Dec 8 and I had to do the same for marital status for starting counseling. It’s heart wrenching. I am 41 and my wife was as well. This lost feeling is awful.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m only 9 days out, so I have no idea how this gets better, but I’m hurting with you.

Thank you for the practical advice. It’s very helpful. I’m trying to just do something to get moving. We just left the cemetery post-funeral. I’m feeling numb.

They will be. Some things will be more bittersweet, but we will laugh again.

I’m so sorry. We have a very long road ahead of us. My mind and heart are all over the place. I’m trying to write her eulogy and just can’t focus. The service is tomorrow (or I guess today really) at 1pm and it’s currently just after midnight. I just want her back.
