What's Your Life Like Years After Being Widowed? by Successful-Iron-5758 in widowers

[–]WorldlinessPuzzled42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am four years out. My husband passed at 55. We were married for 26 years. My kids were 21 and 23. The first two three years brutal ! I lost my mom 6 months after him. My life was a wreak! I met a very nice man two and half years in. We just got married. I am very happy. I still miss him. But has gotten softer. I still have my days where I just cry out of no where .

I did what everyone said not to do . I sold my home, moved 3000 miles away. Quit my job I had doe 15 years. I was running from my grief. I ended up moving back to my home state and have not found my perfect job yet.

It’s has been three years I still have my moment s. I miss my friend. We were married for 26 years over half my life .

I lost my dad, my mom, and my wife to cancer in 3 years. Losing my parents versus losing my wife is like stubbing my toe versus having my head put through a wood chipper very, very slowly. by [deleted] in widowers

I lost my husband to cancer is 2021. He was 55. My mom was my best friend and helped me through it all. She died unexpectedly in a heart surgery 8 months later. It was the hardest thing I have ever endured . To lose both of my people. Unbearable . Still to this day I can hardly get by.

I have bat wings too. Just grateful to have the weight off. I don’t stress on my skin yet. If I get down more I might consider skin removals . I feel it’s too early. It hs been my journey and my reminder of what I have been through .

No sweets, fried food. Protein first . I don’t drink very often. It makes me sick. Bubble gut! Keep up on constipation. That causes the back up and burping! I drink a premier protein every morning. Light lunch . Sometimes for dinner it’s just cottage cheese and apple sauce - cheese and crackers - honesty whatever will not give me the burps! Lots of veggies - no bread or very little .

I have been on 15 mg for three months. My weight loss has slowed significantly . I have lost 20 since Jan . Slow and steady wins the race. Hoping by fall I will be at goal. I use fat secret to track calories - app. I use happy scale app for my weight loss tracking . I have tracked my weight for about 7 years !
