Grief isn't something you simply "get over". It's a journey of learning to live with the loss.

Hello Dolores, I truly appreciate you sharing this. I saw this today, and I have thought of you all day today. I’m heartbroken and so sad. 😢 Yes, tears mean we love and grief is always expected with loss. 💔 This video will help so many people. I wish I could hug you. I’m going to pray for you and your family. ❤🙏🏻

Dearest Dolores, all the emotions you are feeling are so normal. Crying is a great release. We are so happy your son is there with you, and Dawn is close by. Glad you have that support of your family. When my mom passed away, my dad never took off his wedding ring. We love that you got a pillow made with Tim's ties, and we think it's a wonderful idea to get that blanket made. Thank you for giving an update yourself. We care a lot about you. We love you and are keeping you in our prayers. XO 💞

So sorry for your loss, I know what it's all about, not sure the grief ever goes away. It's been 2 years for me and I still cry constantly but never in front of anyone. My husband died in my arms and he look so peaceful when he took that last breath. You certainly don't have to apologize for the tears, get them out. You and Tim have been on my prayer list for a while, I will continue to pray for you. God Bless

My heart goes out to you ! I lost the father of my children 23 years ago after 20 years of marriage and some days it still affects me . Remember the good times and that will help get through the tough times. Prayers for strength for you

I am truly sorry for your loss. I lost my husband six months ago and not a day goes by that I don't cry. I hope you find peace and just know it's ok to not be ok. Take care.

Hi Dolores. I understand you not wanting to call yourself a widow. I dont like that term either. And you can consider yourself Married forever! Your heart will always be connected to your one true love. Even death cannot break that bond. You were both very happily married and were very close.So of course this is a devastating loss that yes, you will never get over, but in time you will learn to live with it, and hopefully get some Peace. I'm glad you joined Griefshare. It was wonderful when I joined (in person) many years ago. I wish you could join somewhere in person, How wonderful your son and grandkids are near you. So many people have very little support, and your big close family is such a blessing. Prayers continue for you and your family, Dolores. God Bless You~

Yes it is definitely a journey. I am so sorry for your loss, I lost my husband of 40 years 2 years ago. I would love to tell you that it gets easier but you just learn to adjust. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I watched your video the day it came out, Dolores. You truly touched my heart. I would imagine you feel like you are going to wake up, and everything will be back to normal. The more love there is, the more it hurts. I really cannot imagine the loss you feel, my beautiful friend. Blessings, prayers, and love..MaryEllen

Dolores, I am deeply sorry for you and your family. 57 years is a lifetime, and the pain is deep because the love is. I pray God holds you tight in His arms and comforts you through this journey of grief. You are in my prayers and very loved by many ❤️❤️❤️ That tie pillow is such a comforting way to honor your husband and keep him closer. The quilts are very special. My sister & I made several quilts of my sister who passed fabric she had and we made quilts for many family members. We also used her clothing for hospice to make teddy bears for us. Those are a comfort. ❤️

My dad was the youngest of 6 kids & he died when he was 43. My grandmother, his mom, told me that one day, a year or so after he passed, she was walking out of the grocery store when she started crying for no reason. My mom died when I was 8 & now I'm nearing my 7th decade. There are STILL some times that the knowledge that she's gone that will bring on the tears. One cries when it's needed, & live life the best way possible the rest of the time. Eventually, you can sew a lei of good memories to help sustain you. ❤‍🩹💝💖

It is so good to hear from you, Dolores! I have been keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and wondering how you all are doing. Grief is feeling a whole lot of emotions at once (at least for me). I’m glad you’ve signed up for a support group. Grieve in your own way. We will be here waiting patiently for you to return to KZbin. Love to all... Sending you a big virtual hug!🤗

I’m so sorry for your loss. May the Lord bless you and keep you safe and may he hold your husband in the palm of His hand. I lost my husband of 63 years two years age and I miss him and cry everyday.

Grief is so consuming, I am sorry for your loss. My heart is broken watching you as you try (and you will) to understand how to live with out your husband. My husband died suddenly at 47; I was 46...I have raised a grandaughter since and for me dating or remarriage was not an option. Prayers for you

I'm so sorry Dolores. You have been in my thoughts and prayers. Don't apologize for crying. I lost my friend recently to a rare form of Leukemia. She was diagnosed in February and went down fast. I'm glad you have your son there with you. There is no timeline for grieving. Everyone grieves differently. XOXO 🤗

You will have tears for a good while. Tears reduce stress and toxins. This let down will aid you. Grief work is hard but necessary to the road to healing the raw pain. My thoughts are with you. I thought I would not survive the sudden loss of my husband but I went with it and time takes its course. Eat and rest, that is imperative or you will spiral. Some widows books helped me tremendously. The support groups will be good. Sending you big hug. ❤

Dolores my heart is broken for you. It is like a piece of you has died as well. My husband is battling a very serious illness and is not doing well. We will be married 42 years on May 16th and he is my best friend and the thought of me being without him doesn't seem real to me at all. I wish I had words to ease your pain but please know my heart is with you! I am glad your son is with you. Dolores I am scared for the day I lose my beloved. Sending much love to you!💔❤ Geri

I feel your pain, and it's overwhelming. I also hate the word "widow".....my car insurance company rates me as a widow! How does my husband dying affect my driving? It's been 8 yrs for me...I have never had an interest in meeting anyone else. We grew up together. I still "talk" to him in a daily journal. I'll never get over losing him. Take care and...cry whenever you want. 💐

This is so relatable ! I lost my husband to Pancreatic Cancer in 2019. We were HS sweethearts also. Did everything together! If he were here we would be married 57 yrs also. I was his caregiver for the 4 yrs he battled. The day after he passed when I got up in the morning it it me " what am I going to do with my time? How do I get through each day? The first and second yr for me was brutal!!!! I too will never ever want anyone else! I still count the birthdays, the anniversaries etc. I am and always will be married to him.As time goes on you will be able to tolerate it. There are always triggers. I can't even listen to the oldies without breaking down and it has been 5 yrs 4 mos. I am praying for your hurting heart! I do live alone but my son and his family live right next to me so it's not too lonely. Please take care of yourself! God Bless !❤❤❤

@@arleneshepler9180 Hi, thank you for those kind words. It’s still hard to talk about him without crying. I thought I was doing better but than out of nowhere I think of something and the tears flow. In September we would be married 57 years. I’m still wearing my ring and I have his on a gold chain I wear around my neck. I know he is not here but I still feel married to him. Is that crazy to think that? I just miss him so much. I’m happy to hear you are tolerating it better. I think I have a long way to go. Thanks for stopping by. Nice to meet you. Hugs, Dolores 💔🙏

So very sorry for what you're going thru. I still have my spouse but I lost my mom and I was very close to her. I grieved for a long time. It did get easier with passing of time.

Oh sis I cried all he way thru this with you! You are right grieving is different for everyone and the tears hit in the strangest places ! It will be 3 years this August since my son passed and I still grieve for him! Tonight I was at Walmart and they played oldies on the overhead music and I was in this back department and California Dream’n came on by the Mamas and the Papas and the tears hit hard! That was my son’s favorite song and I lost it! I cried so hard! I went to a back corner and bawled my eyes out and ppl kept asking me if I was ok! My poor husband couldn’t find me and when he did we both cried ! So I understand how the grieving process works! Losing a child you never get over it it seems! I say just cry when u want to and take that moment to tell ur loved ones how much u still miss and love them! It’s okay bc tears mean how much u love them! I’m here for you sis whenever u need me and we can cry together! I love you and I understand! Beautiful video and a great tribute to your Tim! Sending you big hugs ! Love ❤️ ❤ Barb ❤❤
