I discovered that anyone who has not experienced the loss of a spouse has absolutely no idea about the depth of your grief. I also discovered that I had to make an intellectual decision to discover my purpose. This is essential in order to choose to live rather than fall into despair. My Catholic faith is also important to me.

I lost my entire family. To keep some level of sanity I got into the water. I swim everyday no matter how I’m feeling. The water has helped me heal. I also go to therapy and am social at my core. I don’t struggle meeting people. But not being sad all the time is just hard. I pray a lot. I’ve gotten better about reaching out for help. I was a caregiver before everything was taken. This transition into this entire new life cannot be put into words. And finding what is next can be very confusing. On a positive note, swimming has given me oxygen.

I lost my husband/best friend a little while ago. No other human being will do. I realize there will never be another like him. But like you I have found other ways to “deal” with my grief. God bless you and keep you always.

I do not know how you have lost so much but one thing is clear is that you are determined to survive to have the best life possible. I admire your strength and respect for life. You are an inspiration.

I am still waking up in the morning and immediately experiencing chronic fear and anxiety - My husband died seven months ago and my ptsd is not abating- I am not winning and feel so alone with this. Thank you for your help.

A book that really helped me is The Grieving Brain. 🥰

Just lost my special someone - i think being in my 70’s with no children, grandchildren or extended family really complicates the lonely situation. Friends are very helpful, but ultimately they have to put their own families first. Any advice for the unique situation of being old, childless and no family?
