I'm so sorry woodhaven.

I haven't lost a spouse, but I have lost several babies, both my parents and my brother. I know that my own pain is much different to your's but I wanted you to know that I have some idea of what you might be going through, and that I feel for you.

Kitty had some very good advice and I hope you find it useful.

Please know that you're in my thoughts and prayers.

bless your heart! i know what it is to lose a husband. i lost mine 9 years ago and i thought i was going to die myself. it was the worst thing i've ever gone thru, as we had just gotten married the year before. my husband died 12 days before our first anniversary. we learned he had cancer 5 months after we got married, and it had already spread to where it was inoperable.

i'm so very sorry for your loss. it is devastating, and i know you're grieving. there are basically 5 stages of grief: shock, anger, depression, bargaining, and acceptance. we go thru those stages at our own pace. grieving can take a long time, and some people take longer than others to recover. please don't let anyone try to tell you that "you should be over it by now." that's nonsense. you will know when you're beyond the grief, as we never really get "over it." just make sure you take care of YOU while you grieve. eat well and get the proper amount of sleep if you can. and come here to vent if yolu need to. God bless and take care. hugs, lee

Thinking of you.

Just wanted you to know that you're in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry Mrs Woodhaven for you loss. May God bless you and hold you thru this awful time in your life.

My DH died in 2004.. and I feel what you feel.

I am so sorry for your loss, Mrs. Woodhaven

Thank you for letting us know

You will be in my prayers

I am so very sorry and have no words of wisdom. I cannot even bring myself to think about losing my Jim. Came close a couple of times but he's still with me.

Please know I am praying for you. He is in a better place and that's what you have to lean on because it's all we got you know? Someday you will be reunited.

Thank you for sharing this personal journey with us.

I am not sure how I missed this thread...but I just wanted to extend my deepest sympathy

I am so, so very sorry for your loss. I wish there was something I could say that would ease your pain, but I know there isn't. You'll never get over it, but you will get thru it. Saying prayers & keeping you in my thoughts.

I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot even imagine how devastated you are.

Lung cancer is tough. I lost my grandma to it last year. She lived about 5 months after they found it. We had hospice care and they offer bereavement care for free. I hope you have access to a service like that.

May God be with you and bring you peace and comfort.
