Sad
 

my husband passed away on Saturday he was my whole world we just loved each other so much we where always together I told him years ago that if he died on me I would come with him we had such a closeness I am finding it hard his funeral is tomorrow and I just want to go with him, I hate being here without him I am so sad all the time I just miss him so bad

Dear Dianne, I want to offer my sincere condolences on your recent loss. I can only imagine how difficult it has been since he passed and now with the funeral tomorrow, your pain and sorrow will be as fresh as the day it happened.

Your husband must have been a very special person if you felt even before his passing that you to would wish to go when he went. I can't speak for your husband, or your family, but I'm sure your husband will not want you to do something rash & act on your impulse.

While it may be too early to consider, there are groups who help you deal specifically with living a life alone once your significant other /spouse has passed on. My Aunts in Wales both lost their husbands in separate time frames many years ago in a small Welsh village but from it they learned woman across the world need help to adapt to significant changes. They began hosting cooking classes titled just for one at the local hall, it including from the oven, stove top or the microwave to fridge or freezer. It's the little things which can suddenly overwhelm you, by habit you will cook for 2, and it's quite hard to adapt to cooking for one, particularly as the shops package everything up for 2 or more.

For so long your identity, in some way, reflected your relationship with your dearly beloved. And now you will need to begin to adapt to living on your own, without him. You may find your identity will slowly shift and change. Don't try to do all this on your own, reach out to family and friends, or local church groups. Or us here on NT. I have found NT to be my life line saviour on many occasions, for many different reasons over the years. The beauty of NT is there is always someone somewhere on line, someone from anywhere in the world. And you can tell them things without fear of judgement.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow Dianne, your much loved husband, well he will be with you in your heart and in your mind. :hug:

Dear Dianne

You have my deepest sympathy.

I have no wisdom to offer you beyond saying that grieving always follows its own course and takes its own time.

Whatever feels right for you, no matter what it is and when it happens, is the only thing that matters.

With care :hug:.

thank you for speaking to me it helps that I am able to tell people that are not going to judge me I know jeff wouldn't want me to do anything that is wrong

:hug: Dianne :hug:

You have my deepest sympathy. I'm so sorry for your loss and I know that feeling of being lost. I hope you'll continue to come here and let others help you through this difficult time.

Hello Diane, just letting you know you're in my thoughts as you move into another week without the love of your life by your side. These days and the next ahead as you negotiate the sorting of banks etc are some of the hardest to bear. I just want you to know you are not alone, you have a virtual online community here willing to help by listening and if requested, sharing experiences. Anything you say here remains here, and whatever you say just know and draw comfort in the knowledge there is no judgement.
