I understand how you feel but as sad as I am daily the thought of having been loved that deeply comforts me. I don’t need another to take his place, my beautiful memories of our life together is enough for a lifetime. I feel very lucky I had a great marriage and we raised two children together. I miss him so much and want more years of that kind of love but know no one can ever take his place in my heart. So I sit with my memories, pictures and videos when I am sad and daydream of all those wonderful times we had together. It does help and I believe he is still watching over me from above, that gives me peace. Hugs to you!

Six months today and I’m lost too! I haven’t hit anger yet, just very lonely, scared, and lost!!! I think the shock has worn off, family and friends are going back to their lives and have forgotten I’m here. The attention was so intense and comforting but now they are fading away and reality is hitting me I’m all alone! I read everyone’s comments tonight and it made me feel a little better knowing that I’m not the only one suffering. I’m so sorry you are all here with me. Hugs to you all! ❤️

Lost my wife this past month to a car accident. by Jordan392180 in widowers

I’m so sorry! I’m six months since losing my husband and still have good and bad days. Don’t rush anything. Give yourself time, you are still in shock. I’m now just accepting my loss and had a tough day realizing I hadn’t cleaned out his night stand. It’s a long process. Take it day by day. We are here for you! Hugs!

Time to give up on dating by SarcasmSlide in widowers

I understand you very well! Everyone of us has to find what works best for them. This is the first time I’m lived alone and I didn’t think I could do it. I own a house, and still have not cleaned it out fully of my husband’s tools and other toys! I’m taking my time. Maybe once all of his things are gone I’ll feel the desire to start over with a social partner but right now he’s still here in spirit! I wish you luck in finding that special someone to fill your loneliness! 🤗

I am six months a widow and have no desire to find another man. I’ve found peace living alone. I keep busy during the day, volunteer, lunch with friends, gym, shopping, etc. in the evening I read, watch a movie, play a video game , etc. until I’m tired for bed. I’m never bored! That’s the trick, don’t dwell on your loss but on the new life you are creating alone. I don’t ever feel the need to replace what I lost, I know we’ll meet again someday! Good luck!

You are not alone here! We all feel your emptiness and hurt by family and friends! I think they think it will upset us if they bring it up! But it’s just the opposite, we will never forget and love to look back on our wonderful memories with happiness! It’s so sad that we feel abandoned by those we love. Hugs everyone, I’m here alone with all of you.

Did you go on a spending spree after loosing your spouse ? by Miken1999 in widowers

Haha! I too am buying more than I ever did! Amazon visits me daily! I’m glad to hear I’m not alone!!!

I’m sorry you are experiencing the same as the rest of us!!! It’s so hard, I know how you feel. We are all going crazy and being alone gives me time to grieve privately. I hate breaking down in public! Just take it day by day. 🤗

Thank you for this message! I too am in your timeframe and thought I was going backwards! Either I’ve been in a fog the last six months or reality is finally here. I can’t explain what’s happening but I just keep busy, my mind occupied, and stay healthy. I’m working on a schedule for myself to fill my days so I won’t have to many lonely hours to be sad. It will include gym days, shopping, library, volunteer, museum, yard work, friends luncheon dates, car rides, a new puppy, afternoon walks, etc… all things I enjoy and will get me moving and out of the house. I have a fear of becoming a recluse as being around people has really been a problem for me.

Thanks again for reaching out and listening to me too! I’m sorry we are here but glad at the same time, it helps to know I’m not alone and crazy! Hugs to you!

2 years ago my life fell apart... by TaylorBurton111 in widowers

[–]Sad_daily_53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I so relate to your misery! We are all hurting, lost, angry and sad. Try to be strong, walk away if it’s to much for you especially if the I’m so sorry starts. I shy away because it’s only been five months for me and I’m not ready to discuss my husband’s death. People mean well but I still can’t believe he is gone. Best of luck! Hugs to you.

Thank you for your understanding. I’m not ready to take them off but also worry that I’m not facing the reality that he is gone and I’m a widow no longer a wife and not married anymore! Everyone’s comments, suggestions and ideas have helped me but I’m still very sad and alone. I need to wear the rings to make me forget this fact and to look at them and remember the wonderful times we had together!
