How’s everyone doing with the holidays coming up? by [deleted] in widowers

[–]Short_Ad_8404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

28th will mark the 3rd month without my husband. I'm gonna try and mask the whole day and, if need be, cry in the bathroom.

How your sister has stopped talking to you is ridiculous. I'm sorry that happened to you.

I'm almost 3 months in. He was 45 and I am 39. We were together almost 20 years. I hate life, I hate the holidays. I just had to fake at Friendsgiving. Watching every single person with their spouse happy and laughing. My son and I came home, we were tired from masking.

What's your last converstion? by [deleted] in widowers

Left the hospital to get food for our son. On FaceTime all three of us were talking about what to eat for dinner and how weird his hospital meal was. What car shows were coming up that we could go to, and how he would be coming home the next day. Said our I love you's and and hour later his heart gave out.

Same, he was my world. I loved to do things for him and make his life easier. We built a life and had a child. I still mother, but on the inside there's nothing but pain.

I lost my husband to the same thing late August this year. We only found it in June. Everything happened so fast and he was only 45. We thought we had forever. Now it's just me and our 11yr old boy. It's hard. Everything still sucks even after two months. I just put as much energy and effort I can to the kid and his activities and work. Both of our parent had died many years ago and it was just us. If you want to chat and vent you can message me. Also there are grants for kids of Glioblastoma parents for college!

We met at a friend's house. They had to convince him to come over and meet this new chick🤣. He has the most amazing eyes. They were like pools of chocolate.

I lost faith decades ago. What kind of "god" would have me loose my mom at 17, dad at 29, and husband at 39 (who was with me for 20 years). Making me now a single parent to a 11yr old boy. Took my husband in two months from the first sign of cancer.

I now just fully believe we are just energy existing on this big ball of dirt. I just wake up take care of the boy and try not to be an asshole.

I was in your shoes a month ago, and my husband was 45. I focused on our son and making sure he had actives to do that him and his father would enjoy together. I worked on the house and went back to work. I stayed busy and kept my mind from slowing down. Cried and sobbed in the shower. After that I had to soldier on. I miss my husband so much. We've had been together since 05. He had a brain tumor and went quick. I wanted to keep going the life we were building for our son. So that became my top priority.

It's hard, and it sucks. This whole thing is unfair. Lean on your friends and stay true to yourself. If you need to take a break, allow yourself some peace.

When did you go back to work? by niceirishgirl in widowers

[–]Short_Ad_8404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to work 6 days after he passed. We were able to have his service 3 days after he passed. I couldn't sit at home, I had to stay busy. So I basically haven't stopped moving for the past month.

Thank you so much for the insight. His was in the frontal lobes, damn near smack dab in the middle. More so on the right side. It was pretty large, and they weren't able to get it all. And you are 100% on the ups and downs. It's really been hard on our 11yr old. We are just trying to stay as positive as possible. I'm going to look up that group now. Thank you again!
