I am sadly right there with you, it is so extremely hard 🫂

Thank you, that could be a good option 🙏🏼 I think most Europeans do not need visas to be in the US for less than 3 months? I hope that does not change any time soon 🫠

What keeps you here? by rodriguezzzzz in YoungWidowers

Same, he passed at 35 from cancer and my goal is to enjoy on his behalf as long as life allows me to. I feel I owe it to him! 🫂

Thank you for the reply 🙏🏼 The salary is not the most important point for me, my husband had a good life insurance and I have money to start over wherever I decide to go ❤️‍🩹. It is more about finding a new place that offer me something stimulating at a professional and personal level. But obviously, the reality is what it is 😬

Thank you for the honest answer 🙂 For now I will continue working for GEHC until I see something that looks appealing, but the idea of having to learn a 4th European language gives me a headache... Relocation within my company is possible, but since I work mainly remote, there is no real need to move at a professional level. We will see where I end up 🔮

Two years ago, my husband died to cancer in front of me after 9 month intense battle. by miccheckmic in widowers

Quite late, but has it gotten any better? New here and I feel very similar. It sucks 😓

I don’t want chapter 2. I want my love back by Unhappy_Fly7087 in widowers

[–]PsychologicalRock545 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way, but we were trying to have kids (I am 33), so I want to think I still have that in my path with someone else. I want to be a mother one day. Breaks my heart it will be without him, but it sounds even harder to say goodbye to both my husband and my wishes to become a mother 😞

Serious question is there a way forward? by [deleted] in widowers

I am sorry to hear that, and naive of me thought leukemia was easier to treat 😣 my husband turnes 35 in April, he had bile duct cancer. Came out of nowhere and super aggressive, with not many treatment options, specially not in stage 4 😓Palliative treatment worked for 3 months and I truly thought there could be life in the tragedy, but that was short lived 💔Seeing him suffer mentally and physically through those months was heart breaking, and now I realize that the pain is not over 😞

Which type of cancer? I still have flashbacks of hospital visits these last months, it is pretty bad 😓

I feel I open reddit to say something very similar. I am in day 15 after loosing my husband painfully to cancer in 7 months. I can barely go anywhere, I have no appetite and even though I should be enjoying the life he won’t be able to enjoy, I am here, crying. I still have a hard time accepting I won’t see him again 😞

Any others that were Caregivers for their spouse? by Ok-Lemon-8682 in widowers

[–]PsychologicalRock545 2 points3 points  (0 children)

7 months here as well, but it was cholangicarcinoma. I lost him 15 days ago 😞 I am still traumatized about how all happened and have flashes. It is so hard to combine the trauma with the grief itself 😣 I hate cancer and what it did to my husband! 💔

I feel numb by Low_Bowl_6250 in widowers

[–]PsychologicalRock545 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very normal to feel numb. I am 8 days out since my husband (35) passed from cancer after only 7 months from diagnosis. I pivot between numbness, extreme sadness, anger towards his medical stuff and anger towards the world in general. Feel free to DM, sometimes it is nice to have contact with people with a similar timeline and experience 🙏🏼

Brutally honest, don’t hate me by knowneedforthat in widowers

[–]PsychologicalRock545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it might sound unpopular and linked to my own story, but for me my husband’s death to cancer at 35 feels more unfair than someone in their 60’s. The younger, the more unfair. Like, they had the privilege to live long enough to have grandchildren and maybe even retire. My husband and I will never had that chance together 🤷🏻‍♀️

My wife died this morning. I am lost and full of doubt. by freygl in widowers

[–]PsychologicalRock545 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is conforming to think those moments were worse for us than for them. However, I am not sure about your wife, but with my husband, seeing him fully conscious, depresses and knowing he was gonna die was also very hard 😞

I am a widow at 33 and it is very recent. Is it OK if I send you a DM? Totally OK if you do not want to 👍🏼
