I remember him getting signed and that album is great .

My husband 78 died unexpectedly, 4 months ago. I will always grieve my loss but he gave me so much love while he was here. The day before he passed, he told me how much he loved me and we would always be soulmates, and how much he loved different things that I do. It almost felt at the time, like words he would use to say goodbye to me. He died of a sudden heart attack early next morning. He didn’t know death was coming. I will live alone now and will always treasure that what we had was so special…. but it has been hard... .Reading comments makes me feel like I am not alone. Thank you for this video..

I lost my husband an high school sweetheart in 1984. I eventually met a man but he started drinking and i ended up with ptsd. I had cancer in 1999 and survived that with ptsd as well. He is no longer drinking but thats when i really started to miss my husband again. He was very handy around the house and now i have a house that needs repairs. My children are grown, one lives close but my daughter moved to Maine. I went to Griefshare and alanon but had an episode of major depression. Im in 2 bookclubs and a womens club but depression takes hold and im a mess. Im now 73, 43 when my husband died. Everyweek is a roller-coaster ride. Im an only child. Its hard to make friends at my age.

My husband of 57 years passed away 6 weeks ago. I miss him all the time and I have moments of anger, sadness, crying spells and pain all at once. One activity that is helpful is journaling the good, bad and ugly emotions. I’ve learned that these are feelings not facts. I am trying to accept this new life thru Jesus Christ and his biblical teachings. Often I am at a loss to really comprehend what walking with Jesus is about. I am grateful for the spiritual opportunities.

I share with others, I Journal, I go to senior center, I went to Grief Counceling.

My Husband passed 2 years CO pD. Married 48 years

Me too marsha i had 50 years with my wonderful husband he was 70 no age in these times he had a horrible time i couldn't believe my strength but now 9 months in im struggling too my heart goes out to all us Ladies and gents especially this time of year ❤❤❤❤

How in the world are you supposed to “move on” after a 45 year marriage after 1 year?

My wife has stage 3 breast cancer, I went through a 3 year battle with bladder cancer during COVID. It’s been very hard for both of us. we’ve been married 43 years.

My girlfriend of 14 years lost her battle with cancer on September 20th, 2024. I was broken. But after the wake and funeral I stepped up and came to terms with myself that she was gone. I needed to move forward and not get caught in the rut. I have watched a couple of videos about men dealing with the loss of their wife's/girlfriends, and I don't fit in the box with most men. In the two weeks since she passed, I cleaned out the whole house, I removed her belongings, I reorganized, changed rooms around and basically stayed busy. I have my moments and short breakdowns but I'm a realist, I know I can't change anything. I said my prayers, cried my tears. Didn't get mad, I have no regrets. I'm ready to continue moving forward. She would have wanted that. We had these talks. I'm a Navy veteran so I know how to do chores, do laundry, clean house fold clothes and I make my bed every morning. I was raised with all sisters and raised two daughters. I have always managed the bills and kept the bank account balanced. I work an overnight shift by myself, so I'm used to being alone and used to the silence. I will never forget her and what we shared, but I needed let her go. No alters, or memorials. I plan on finding a new person someday to share my life with, because I don't want to be alone even at 63, I'm not ready to pack it in. After watching many different videos on the issue I would peruse a widow, I think that would be the best match. My kids are grown and gone, and I need to move forward and live my life the way I want. I know she is in the lords' hands, and she's no longer having pain. We will meet again, in the future, in another time, place and reality... James Swan, Rapid City, South Dakota.

God bless u all

I lost my husband last month to cancer and I’m struggling. I can’t concentrate at work, I cry everyday. I hate the word “new normal”. I’m completely heart broken. I loved my husband so much. 💔

When I was eighteen I saw him at a nightclub in Memphis. It was called night moves. Mendenhall and Winchester. Probably 1988. A memory in the making. A great concert.

I lost my husband over 6 years ago and I still cry every single day and my heart breaks every single day the he is gone I miss him more than life itself I can't imagine spending the rest of my life without him

Thanks for letting widowers listen too.

This is happening to my sister in law right now . Sucks!

I lost my husband after two decades of his alzheimers-type dementia and Parkinsons. He could no longer move himself from recliner to wheelchair. So there was a mixture of grief and relief. At 84, I find that this relief is quite common among us older folks. Grief is not constant. It comes and goes, for years. Men don’t take it harder than women! They just handle it differently.

I lost my husband the love of my life and my very best friend 5 months ago yesterday. We would have been married 30 years two days after he died. Our anniversary is always going to be so close to date that he died.

I lost my young husband almost 4 years ago .he was only 37 and he passed away right on my 40th birthday. we ve been married for 10 years but due to immigration process we were mostly apart. I would say we just lived together overall 3 or 4 years here and there. but these past 4 years after his death has already sucked the life out of me. I can say it was much easier 3 years ago than now. maybe there was a hope the grief will be dealt with by time but now the time has passed I know this is a big lie. the grief grow bigger than what I can bear and manage. but I have to hide it because of others and as it is do hard and devastating I isolate myself not to bother others with my grief. this is a big lie that grief cools down or whatever. the truth is it burns deeeper down but we have to hide it from others.

Lost my spouse 4 days ago am so empty

My husband passed away 3 months ago from cancer. I can relate to many people here who feel lost and are experiencing extreme pain. I’m having difficulty just doing my day to day routines. He was my everything. I prefer to stay huddled in the corner of my bed. I do make an effort when friends come by and they usually say I’m doing ‘very well’. There are others who preach religion and there’s a reason blah blah blah. I prefer not to be around them. Unless that person has experienced a similar loss, it’s best I think, that they not offer platitudes or explanations. It’s just empty words to me.

Thank you 4 ur video..losing someone its hard to moving forward..my husband lost almost 9 months..my strength is my daughter..most specially lord Jesus....🙏..

Move on. Let go. Death means a new life so stop holding on those who pass on. That simple. Be unattach and detach from everything and everyone but intensely involved in simply doing your best here.

Just lost my husband my best friend 2 weeks ago. I’m soooo lonely. I have 2 boys to raise now. I’m scared. I’m mad he left me. But I know this is my new life now and for the sake of my boys I must take on this new role of a single mom and raise my kids the way he would want me to. I’m taking it one day at a time. I’m going to start a journal to express my feelings. Praying for everyone who is going through this struggle.

I lost my husband of 26 years on May 31st, 2024. I miss him so much. I can't stop crying. I hurt so much 😭😭😭

My 81-year-old mother continues to grieve her mother’s natural death. My mother’s life was very seriously abbreviated by her chronic grieving, and people are not very understanding when she seeks attention over her loss which occurred over 40 years ago when my mother was in her 40s. It’s very difficult to understand how you could toss your life away and focus only on what you no longer have instead of what you still have. My mother basically threw her life away by chronically, focusing on what she lost and never focusing on what she still had. Extremely difficult.

I lost. My husband. 7yrs ago feels like yesterday . understand how people feel in same situation. having a supportive close family . helps a lot by me replying to the comments I've read your not alone my heart goes out to you

The Good news of the Gospel is that Jesus has overcome sin and death and all who call upon His name shall be saved and may have eternal life.

My wife of 20 years unexpectedly died just over four months ago from a mild flu. She was feeling a bit under the weather and went to take a nap, she didn't wake up, she was 52. The first month was brutal. February and March I thought I was doing well. I did the guy thing and made my checklist and attacked the problem. I read 3 books, joined a weekly spousal loss group, watched dozens of videos. We have a special needs child, so I was being strong and maintaining normalcy for him. Then in April I was organizing her clothes for her friends to pick through and donate the rest to the battered womens shelter when I came across a ratty old T-shirt that said 'Boy Mom' on it. It smelled like her, I wasn't ready for that. She was always told that she couldn't have children so she was so excited and proud when we had our son. The smell put me back into January. I didn't realize that my checklist and dealing with things 'like a man' was a form of denial. I really thought that I was doing well. But that smell triggered memories and emotions that really kicked me where it counts. So I'm picking up the pieces again and starting from the beginning. Grief really sucks. It's probably the only thing that I've experienced that I can honestly say that I hate. I've broken a couple of dozen bones if you include fingers and toes, I've burst an appendix, I've had multiple surgeries, spent two years on crutches, etc, but I've never felt wounded until this. Not a fan of this grief crap. Don't get me started on the widow brain stuff. Can't focus, can't remember stuff, can't think clearly, this grief stuff can byte me.

Grief is absolutely the price we pay for Loving someone.

I lost my wife 5 months back to cancer. We were married for 48 years. I am in deep grief and also feeling very lonely.

A therapist said this, and it helped me. Grief is not necessarily something you can/should/will get over. When you feel the sadness, express it and give it its due, then continue on with your day/life, until the next time. I could be my truest self with my spouse, and I miss that very much. Also, they knew my history and my family who have passed, and I did not have to explain things/those people to them. With people new to me, I want that to be the start of the relationship, I don't want to pedal backward.

what is difficult its not the picture of the memory, its the fact you are reminded they are gone, its super hard but get in the practice of going to the time in the photo,not the time you are looking at it

My husband of almost 68 years died 8 months ago after years of gradually increasing, multiple health problems. After the dr told us she could do no more for him, he/we elected to go the hospice route. I know he is finally at peace and he is in heaven with the son we lost 7 years ago, but I never realized how much it would hurt my heart. I miss him so much. It was a double whammy after the loss of our son. I am going to a grief group but it still hurts so much. It's worse in the evening, no one to share things with.

I lost my husband 4 months I took care of him till he died he had cancer we were married for 55 years 💔 I miss him very much and I will always love him till I die

I lost my husband 4 months ago to cancer, there’s a big hole in my heart

It’s been close to 40 years for us been together. My heart will be truly broken and will die from a broken heart cause our children never ever help us so if he passes I know our kids will put me into a home. But if I go first they will leave there father in the home. I’m wheelchair bound. I’m in my 58 th year and husband is 66 now and we are struggling a lot. We have asked for there help and we have been told NO because they have there own homes and if we can’t take care of our home then we need to move closer to town. As a young person I would have been there for my family.

I’m dreading these moments, I have been with my husband since I was 18 and he was 26. It tears me apart but I’m the one with bad health and hope and pray I go first. I don’t want to lose my rock, my soulmate, my lover and best friend. I don’t want to feel that pain in my heart. I live with CRPS and he has been my caregiver since 2009. I can never ever see myself living without him.

I lost my partner 8 weeks ago today … I’m so lost , so scared …

I lost my husband of 59 a week ago. Suddenly, just in one moment, he was gone. We have been together since we were seventeen, married for 32 years. It hurts me so much and it gets harder every day.I don't know how to go on without him. He was my husband, my best friend, my support, the rock on which I stand. How to endure this much pain?

I lost my wife last Sunday March 3rd 2024, she was 28 and I was 24.

Im coming up on 10mths its not getting easier it still feels like yesterday Ive been married for 30 yrs.The hardest thing is the abandonment.

I was widowed in October 2023 and deal with my grief by talking out loud to my husband. I say goodmorning and if I see something on TV that we would have talked about I comment as though he was still with me and always use his name.

Lost my partner of 27 years 3 days ago, we never really needed anyone else and both of us were quite shy, I’m so scared of being alone and having no one to come home to if I force myself to go out, I feel it’s not worth going on

I know dear I lost my husband 4 months ago we were married 51 yrs. He also passed from cancer he was 73 the loneliness an I’m having a very hard time so don’t feel alone. The hurt never ends!

My husband passed away after a 5 year battle with prostate cancer. He’s been gone from me for 5 months. I miss him very much.

Strength and love to all of you. I do know now how it feels and how tough it can get, as i no longer take care of myself. It has taught me a lot, seeking and finding no help. I have no answers though.

If sidewalks talked.... You crossed my mind days ago.. I sat and listened to a few songs from memorys in the making. Saw you open for moody blues at my 1st concert. You opened the show. Aware you already know all this from the other side. And are aware of all the joys and blessings provided through your choice. I apologize i had not known of passing over. Bless you from here and everywhere . Amen. ❤ 47 year old kid, Muel

Bs about men take grief harder than women I grieve every day and it is still raw even after 2yrs feels like it just happened I went thru 2 sessions of griefshare helped but only God has helped me

Iam lost without my husband too my heart breaks for all of the widowers
