my best friend

a year ago my best friend's husband died. he had cancer.
that happened late in the evening. she called me and said: Anna, he is gone. They lived together for 3 years and were totally happy.
The whole year after his death she is in her job doing well and try to smile all the time. Just work 7 days a week, as much as she can. Last weekend we even went together to a disco. But I feel she is bad inside. Cant expalin it properly, just feel that she is like a little girl inside and beautiful, gorgeous woman outside. how can I help her? All the words seem to be already said. What would you do?

Be her friend .... thats the best help of all during these times ..

She is probably still grieving and trying to stay occupied and busy ... being there for her is the best medicine ... she will call out for help ... when she is ready ....

GooD Luck ...
PrOwLeR, maybe that's the way
10kOhms,
haha
are you really in
I feel sorry for her and for you.
If i may counsel, just be yourself. When one gets sick, people look at you differently, you and your family, as if the misfortune was contagious.
That's why i say be yourself, just do the same things as before. And if she wants to talk, just listen, be there for her.
But it's hard all the people are different and react with their history.
Good luck
i'd love it...



uh oh
10kOhms,
this pic is specially for you :P

tom57,

u were dead right in sayin she's a "...beautiful, gorgeous woman..." .. I am and he is impressed ....

10kOhms. yes, I'm honest. is that bad?i just say what i see
i wish i could take part of her pain and throw it away..
Ohh..i really impressed.
And as a good friend of her you must help her to find a partner as soon as possible..How old is she?sad flower
Kamrani,
I dont think that is good ideal to look for someone for someone.
it's her life.
as u can see I havent still succeeded in being happy too
as I am here looking for a bfriend.
She is 26.
@Hanny86: I would suggest you be as normal as possible with your friend, don't treat her as you are seeing someone so miserable, it has been a year already, if I were at her place I would want to be grieving alone while having my friend to remind me of the wonderful things that still waiting for me .. This will definitely take some time so don't worry about your friend, and just try to be there for her if she ever wants to talk ..
african_single,
u are right..
actually I dont show that I worry about her and I dont start speaking about her husband. That is her beer.
Hanny. Its trickey. My ex from my longest relationship 7y (we broke up in 03, continued as sis/bro friends), she died in 06 in a fire. She was maybe the closest person to me in the world.

Anyw. Life changes valour. Not the same after.

Tell her from me it is one life before and one life after.
The life after can be good too, but it takes time.

2.thing from me to her: tell that HE is looking down on to her and want her to be happy! (and move on)
-she knows this allready, just say i sayd it too.

morgenulv,
thank you very much for your sincere words
hugs to u from rainy Minsk
Let the time heal her sorrow. You doing right spending time together and having fun. But she also needs time for herself to grieve. Be for her any time she asks.
find a way to mend her broken heart i can feel as you said this that her heart is still broken god bless youfor trying to help her i think you being there is the best thing she needs my friend
gaze9,
yes, they say time is the best doctor..prob that is truth
Dear Hanny, I can sypathise with your problem . A long time friend of mine's husban recently died of complacations of diabetes . Don ( her husband ) was having problems for some time but just recently he took a turn for the worse and died . She is now taking it very hard . She lives a great distance from me but still calls me to talk . Sometime she crys, somtimes she vents her anger at this, but mostlly to just talk it out . I know she feels better after we talk and feels comfort knowing I'm only a phone call away . Sometimes the only thing we can do is be there . Thats what friends are for .
Frankinstien,
yes I think so too
prob I am happy to have close friends..
Oops.. at least you can encourage her to get an account on CS,
its fun also help her to find her prince.heart wings
Kamrani,
well i what u mean
but i dont think that is a good idea. no comments
There is a old persian saing that "find your real friends in Bars"
handshake cheers

Ok now honestly tell me who are you looking for on CS..
im wonder you follow me that im trying my luck Twice for widows grin confused dunno
Kamrani. Hay mate. I respect and like you! beer

Think u are about to highjack this tread. Perh go on to your own blog (or make a new one).
Besides, when it comes to Hannys friend, its just been one year and she is defnatly in great sorrow still.

A tip on how to find widows: can be exclusevly searched here by choosing "widow" in the serach criteria.

Well, think about laeving this blog now unless u wanna give her more good tips and symphaty. Lets show respect for Hanny and her greiving friend that she will meet tmrrow.
Kay? beer

hanny you are doing a good gob helping your best friend,because she needs help and she always find a good friend hug that is you hannyangel take good care i will pray for both of yous bouquet
do whatever makes her happy...beer
Thats really bad what happened with her!, feel sorry for her. Loosing our love is well very much difficult to deal with, worst if it ends with a death..
But whats happened cant be changed so the best thing you can do would be to be there for her, maybe you should make her move on she really need to be emotionally satisfied. Introduce her to some of your nice friend who can understand her situation and emotions.. Take her to do fun things try to make her happy as much as possible!
Its been a year now and she still wears the ring thats really nice of her i guess she loved him a lot, but again the this is he is gone and she need to move!! I hope you ll be able to help her somehow..
Best Luck! :)
I lost my soul mate a month ago, June 1. He also had cancer. I have to tell you that the pain of losing your best friend is very hard, and part of you dies with them. I am told it takes time, and before my boyfriend passed, he released me to find love again. Perhaps one day, just not now. Tell your friend that her man would want her to be happy and will not judge her for moving on. She should not die with him emotionally, but she can live with her memories of him.
