Just 2 years ago I lost my husband of 10 years. I just appreciated the help they gave during that time. I try not to tell others time will heal you and all the typical cliches.
It really doesn't help. Just knowing they are there was the biggest help to me.
I'm not but my mam is. Has been for over thirty years now. She was left with five of us under the age of 10. Lucky for her she had a great & strong family surrounding her and got her through the hardest of times.
you are not alone. My husband died 13 years ago. My children were 12,9, and 9months. The absulute worst time of my life. Not only had i got to deal with my grief but had to cope with the childrens grief also, who did not know how to cope with their feelings. I don't know how i got through, but I did. I have felt his loss everyday since.
Though it has been quiet a year with 5 close deaths......................
I will make it...............................................
I do feel like it is time to move on..................I am afraid that during certain moments of down spirals of the roller coaster my conversation including ken may be a turn off to someone........Not sure how to handle things..
You will make it and just remember the good times when you miss him and remember the bad times when you feel you have to move on. I was divorced from my husband for 10 months when he passed and never missed him at all (separated for 6 yrs) until his birthday rolled around this year. Don't know why it hit me-we have a 13yr old together and it is him that I think I feel the sorrow for. I have not let it hold me back because we were divorced, but after 19 years of marriage I do feel like I am a widow and not a divorcee. Just move on and keep his good spirit beside you and you will be just fine.
