I miss the energy of my teen son in the house and his creativity and intensity. I miss his voice and him playing guitar. I miss helping him figure things out and parenting him even though he was a lot sometimes. I know his beautiful soul is still with me but I desperately miss him in the physical!❤️✨Homesick is a good way to describe it

[@GriefInspiredCatherineMcNulty]

I’m so sorry you have to go through this Meg. It just doesn’t seem fair. It sounds like you are a fantastic parent.

My wife passed very suddenly at age 60. I miss her presence, her voice and her smile. This house is filled with reminders of all the large and small things she did that made us happy. It is lonely and painful.

[@musestudio7075]

😢💜

[@GriefInspiredCatherineMcNulty]

I’m so sorry. 60 is much too young. When did this happen? What was your wife’s name?

[@marybailey6166]

suddenly, how hard for you♥️I feel for you. It's scary...feels like the rug was pulled out...dizzy...One day at a time...Comfort, hold on...peace❤️

@@GriefInspiredCatherineMcNulty Debbie. She collapsed while at her scheduled physical therapy appointment on March 7, 2024. It was a pulmonary embolism. I was with her when she lost consciousness. She never regained consciousness and was declared deceased on March 9. 3 months have gone by and I am still absolutely devastated by this. Without a doubt this is the hardest thing I have ever dealt with. Nothing else even comes close.

I miss my husband sitting beside me in his chair,his support when i was not feeling well

[@jayneweathers]

Great video Catherine as always. Thank you. After Bruce took his last breath, i kept crying saying that i lost my home. Bruce was my home. I learned this through anticipatory grief. I learned that wherever he was, was home to me. So i get that whole homesick thing. Thanks to using your journal, and now being a part of your coarse, i am learning that its ok to feel my own pain. Its my grief and no one elses. There can be commonalities, but thid is my journey. My journey is teaching me many things about myself, as a person, and about the life we had together. Its been 9 months, but i see that Bruce will always be with me. Our love did not die. My home was being with him, and i am happy that i am learning he is still with me. The picture of a turtle just popped in my head. They carry their home with them everywhere. I carry Bruce, my home, with me everywhere too. I can go within myself and our love, and feel at home again. Im so happy i learned this and worked through that particular pain. Yes, this is a journey I wish i would never have had to take, but I did because that is the only way to find the answers and find some peace and joy again, and that is working through...I have to give God a shout out too because He has also been my shelter...my home through out all of this. My faith tells me i will see my husband again someday. That gives me hope too. This is just the starting point....not the ending point. I believe we go from life into true eternal life. My husband is waiting for me but untill that day comes, I will live the rest of my life like he would have wanted me to live. You know, i took my husband for granted while he was here. I thought we would always be together. I dont want to take the rest of my life for granted. And when i am homesick for him, all i have to do is look inside myself. He is here snd our love is here too.❤

[@GriefInspiredCatherineMcNulty]

I love this so much and I’m so glad i get to walk this journey with you!!!

[@stephaniepaints]

I think everything you've mentioned, every single one of those things I've longed for again. But if you had to boil it down to just one or two that I miss, is I think that feeling of unconditional love and mutual understanding from my partner. That is a beautiful feeling, to be truly loved by your best friend. We were best friends before becoming lovers, and then were together for 11 years before he died suddenly. To be honest I still feel very loved, even after his death. That will never change. But being able to connect physically with him, to look into his eyes and see them shining back at me, that's what I truly miss. I just want to smile at him, and see him smile back at me. After almost 2 years I am at the point where I *think* I can make it through this life on my own, I feel like a strong person, but it doesn't feel like home. It feels like I'm out here on a treacherous journey by myself, focusing on survival. Thank you for the lovely video

It's lonely 😔I miss his company I miss having someone to talk to

[@dellasmith6960]

I’m so sorry for your lost

[@GriefInspiredCatherineMcNulty]

That makes so much sense! It will take time for sure. What was he like?

[@jennifershort3104]

It's everything. I miss the house I Iived in with my mom and the familiarity of that area. She made that house a home. I miss the physical presence of her kind and gentle spirit. I miss not being able to talk to my mom or sit quietly with her and most importantly hugging her. I miss the time I thought I would still have with her. I love her so much and that will never end. I wish I could get past my struggles with craving the future.

[@GriefInspiredCatherineMcNulty]

Tell me more about “getting past my struggles with craving the future”. what do you mean? Send me an email if you like!

[@ry491]

I miss every one of those things . The thing I miss most is no longer being the most important and special person in someone's life . Friends and family are fine but nothing and no one can fill that gap . I lost my wonderful wife three years ago . I will never recover . The past is all I have . There is no worthwhile future .

[@nancyshroyer5690]

I know how you feel,I lost my husband and he was my whole world.I feel like half of myself.Hes been gone for 2 years and I'm as broken now as much as when he first passed.I pray everyday that one day I will be able to accept this terrible emptyness.😢

[@GriefInspiredCatherineMcNulty]

We should talk. The pain can be overwhelming, but finding hope for a future is paramount.

[@ireneomukata4148]

As I listen to you I'm all tears loosing a spouse,a best friend a companion, the only person you can pick your phone and call him at anytime of the day or night is the most difficult situation to go through loss of a spouse is the worst of the worst of the worst pain I don't know whether I will ever come over it.i lost my husband a month ago

[@GriefInspiredCatherineMcNulty]

Please don’t think you have to “get over it”. The goal is to keep on living and find a new path forward. It takes a while. Be kind to yourself. Come spend time with us in the Facebook group!

[@ireneomukata4148]

Thanks for the encouragement let me try to get a new path and move on ,your inspiration is just what I need.People keep on telling me to forget and move on I wonder how possible it is to forget someone you have been together for 30+years thank you and keep reaching the most vulnerable group of people

[@GriefInspiredCatherineMcNulty]

You can do this. Come join my Facebook group!

Needed to watch this for the 10th time. Message today hits hard.

[@GriefInspiredCatherineMcNulty]

Tell me more about why it hits hard for you?

[@pattymitchell970]

I am homesick for our closeness we had together and just feeling safe, loved and secure. We were hs sweethearts and were married 45 years So I’m Sooo homesick for him.

[@GriefInspiredCatherineMcNulty]

Hi Patty, that makes so much sense about the safety. One of my clients says she feels like half a person now and is working to be whole and complete by herself now. It is a big change!

[@jn3098]

My wife passed at 61 after 36 years and miss soo much of what u said.

[@paulkeeling772]

My brother passed at age 55, sudden. I was splitting from my partner and moving in with my brother in our family home. He had lived there all his life. I will miss him just being there. I'm scared to now be on my own in the house.

[@GriefInspiredCatherineMcNulty]

I hear this so much. To be in the space they once were can be comforting for some and haunting for others. It can change over time as well. Try different things and see what helps.

[@rodoragray2044]

Thank you ❤

[@GriefInspiredCatherineMcNulty]

You're welcome 😊

[@silverowlthrifter]

I could not listen, its just too painful, too new, he passed at age 63 from a sudden heart attack...it was May 13th 2024 our 35th wedding anniversary.

[@GriefInspiredCatherineMcNulty]

I’m so sorry. Take care of yourself and only listen when it makes sense. Try my new to grief playlist perhaps?

[@lilig7955]
