I am at the 5 month mark and it hurts so bad. All our dreams of retirement gone. I just cannot believe he is gone. We were best friends, soulmates and confidantes. He was my rock.

Hi my name is Rob I lost my best friend Amy she is my wife she left this world in 22/2/22 very fast one minute we were just talking the next thing she was gone I found len about 4 months in to his journey with grief he lost his wife one week after Amy left I watch his videos when he had enough strength to make one what you are about to go through will be the worst thing you will ever go through in your life right now you are still in shock if you want to keep reading this it's not going to help you at all because only you will go through this path of confusion and pain nobody else you will come to realize that you are apart of something that is called the grief club and you never wanted nothing to do with it but you got forest into it every thing you are going to experience will be ugly sometimes you will feel like you are are going crazy and you probably are because you lost your Best friend and your soul mate and you will get scared of things you never thought that would ever scare you there is no book that will help you to understand what you are going thought but real people that has bin thought this and wish they never did you will forget things alot and fog in your mind alot of that to you will need a Doctor to help you with some pills and you will need people that are going thought the same thing as you some times you will feel like you want to be with him again and you will think about maybe even killing yourself because of the pain and the loneliness that you are going thought and you will find this world is a scary place but keep saying this to yourself peace and understanding and ask God for his Help I really feel for you and a lot of us do because we all believe in God and we all know what you are going thought and it's really really Hard if you need to just talk about what you are feeling fine a group of people that will help you because family only can do so much for you because they don't know how you really feel and remember you can talk to your husband he can here you we all do its normal because it just is please remember you are not alone there are so many people going through what you are going thought and people like me that lost there wifes over two years ago are still in pain because it doesn't go away all the missing because we are all older now and we all had a plan on growing older together by

Love listening to your story. I have realized during my grief process there is no accident in a Christians life, even losing your spouse. He knows the end from the beginning. Christ has become everything to me. He is my comforter, my Shepard, protector and my savior. I talk with all the time. I put all my energies in our relationship. I don't think I would have done this if my husband was still living. The time is short and He is preparing us for a dying people that needs to know how much they are loved by the Father. He has a purpose for you to worship Him and draw Him close. God bless you!

[@lenandcindypresley....4830]

Hello Kim I'm sorry for the loss of your dear husband. It is a painful trial to walk thru, even as a Christian. Thanks for a well written comment. You pretty much said what I'm thinking and many more, perhaps. It is a hard fought battle to talk about Jesus and what he has done for me without attacks from an unseenforce wanting me to stay silent. It is definitely going to be interesting these next few months and years. All I want to do is share my belief in a God of mercy and grace thru His Son Jesus. To give others hope to get thru this grief and loneliness. Apparently, this is becoming unexceptable on some media platforms. Truly a sign of the times, Come Lord Jesus... God bless❤️☝️🕊

[@MariaLandolfi-vi4wf]

One day at a time my friend. With time we move forward. The past is gone. Life goes on..... Learn to live in the present moment. holding on to the past gets us depressed and hopeless. Life is made up of moments. Live today and only for today. Yes our lives have changed without our loved ones but we can learn to enjoy life once again. Our cherished memories will always be in our hearts forever. We now live alone but don't let loneliness get a hold of you. Stay busy! Declutter the house. Work in the yard. Start dating again. BE HAPPY!! 💞🙏

It's been a year and I don't know how to move on. I don't know if I want to move on. I miss him so much. Yesterday was Mother's day and him not being here was a reminder of how alone I truly am and it hurts even more. I miss his presence in my life every day and I feel like I am dieing inside each day that passes. Since his passing I had to find a way to survive cause like you said in your videos life goes on. So I took a course but am having difficulty finding a job which is depressing me even more and I am on the verge of giving up. I'm becoming tired of this life. I don't mean to be upsetting it's just the way I feel. You are very fortunate to have good people around you. I wish you all the best.

[@MAvila744]

Dear Len, Thank you for opening up your heart to us. Your new cat is a Tortoise Shell. Not sure if you know that. God is faithful always and yes a very forgiving father. I was raised Catholic and in my 20s-30s like many young people you forget about God. To make a long story short, I had a conversion experience and God brought me back to the Church . My husband had a conversion experience as well. He identified as the lost sheep. I was the prodigal daughter. Then God put us on a path of almost 25 years of serving Him and his people and the Church. We did everything together. I preferred to be with him more than anyone else. So when you lose your spouse it is an extremely painful experience that takes you on a whirlwind of unimaginable experiences. Cindy sounds like God knew that she was the woman to have an impact in your life. That’s a blessing! Thank God! When I had my conversion experience (which came after reading the Gospels,) nothing ever looked the same. I could see God’s creation for the first time. God blessed me and my husband. It sounds like God blessed you as well. God gives us free will to choose. Finally, through God’s grace we come back to the Father’s arms. Yes, He takes us back always. What a great God we have. God bless you, Len. I look forward to hearing more of your story. 🙏🏻

(HUG) Thank you for this video, 6 months and it is hard, I held back grief and just trusted Jesus to comfort me, and He did. i have his pictures on his desk, as I learn from him all the things he handled. His notes when he mowed the grass, had oil changed, trimmed the bushes etc, I am learning with the help of his notes and most of all from Jesus helping me to do what I thought I could not do. JESUS IS SO AMAZING, LOVING, AND KIND. Your testimony is so helpful can't wait to meet you and Cindy God willing at the wedding supper.

Len I understand some of what your going through, it's sad, I've never lived alone until my husband passed, people dont realise what this kind of grief does to you, it knocks you back on your *ss, it makes every hour a challenge, and youre not alone in looking at all of the accumulated stuff. Someone asked how I'm doing, I said let's see in a couple of years, because it's going to at least take that long; nine months have passed already and I dont know where that time went.

[@akfinn5308]

You said, Let's see in a couple of years. Well,it has been two weeks short of two years. This was the hardest time , at the end of his time. I am so thankful he is home with Jesus and not suffering. It is hard to learn to live alone and with unfinished plans. But Jesus has had a plan all along. We can trust in Him.

I'm from Pittsburgh and we use to have a store like that on the Northside. Thanks for sharing. I would like to ask for prayer. It's been 14 months this month since my David passed. So fast forward I have been through two 13 week grief groups. I made some friends and we have been helping each other. Well when our second session of grief group ended we all wondered what now, what's next. I stepped up and started a group for after counseling sessions are done but you don't want the camaraderie to end. We had our first meeting yesterday. We all met at a restaurant with a table that set all 11 of us. We were all so glad to see each other. It was like a family reunion. With the help of GOD we hope to keep doing things together. Anyway I named our group Journeyer Friends. I picked that name because we are a group on the same grief journey. We hope to meet the first Saturday of each month except June because our grief group is having a picnic then. 😊

I feel the same with my husbands family, I love them but I have not heard from many of them. It is especially hard that his twin brother has not checked in. My husband would be so disappointed with him. I know that. I think it healthy to realize we are all just human and not perfect. I believe that is why we are here, we are here to learn. My husband was my best friend. We loved doing things together. 52 years of always having the person there and then not there is very painful. I have to believe we are here to continue our journey for whatever reason. I hope I find what I need to do soon. Maybe you are here to share this so some of us can hear your words and know we are not alone. Or not feeling things we should not. The pain is real and it is okay to feel them. Sounds like you had a wonderful life with Cindy. Moving on is hard but I feel like my husband would want me to he happy. I have been watching a woman who is also grieving and as I told her, find something to smile about. Smiling warms the heart. Although I am not part of a religion I am extremely spiritual. I draw on that. I think we all have our own way of showing our faith in something beyond us. Hope you have a good day and find your smile. You don't have to apologize for feeling.

My wife and I were very close with her grandparents, very neat people that did the bulk of raising her. Even into their late 80's they were jumping quads in the sand dunes and trying to cheat us at cards. Very fun people, so full of life. We spent a lot of time with them for 19 years or so. They both passed within the 18 months before Kim did. It's kind of funny, after they passed I was too busy supporting my wife through it to have it effect me too deeply. But since Kim died I've been really mourning those old farts as well. It's been a major paradigm shift to all aspects of my life. A big part that puts the lump in my throat is that I'm the only one left on earth that has all those great memories. We'd have so much fun just reminiscing about those great times and now there's nobody left to reminisce with. I know that new memories will be made but it won't be the same. I know that those 3 easily made it into heaven so hopefully I'll get there some day and be able to swap old stories with them again. The family and friends do seem to scatter like cockroaches when the lights come on after the first couple of weeks. When we went to scatter Kim's ashes it was just me and my two sons, one in his 20's now from a prior marriage that Kim helped raise. Even Kim's parents said to go ahead and do it without them, they weren't up to it. She was an only child but has a large extended family that we were in constant contact with. So you feel like you've lost them as well in some way. One more life change. My hats off to you though. I don't think I'd be this functional if it was just me and our critters. If I didn't need to take care of our autistic son I'm not sure I'd be able to get out of bed most mornings. That widow brain fog is so hard to deal with. I'm normally pretty focused and efficient but since Kim died I have to write lists for everything and even then I still forget half of it or procrastinate a large chunk of my to do's. Not being able to think or remember clearly is driving me nuts. And I hear that it can last for a couple of years.

It’s been 5 months now for me since I lost my wife of 36 years. Today is her birthday. When we were talking about marriage, she asked me if I was ok being number two in her life because Jesus was number one. Her favorite Bible verse was Romans 15:13, which fit her. Each day I miss her more. Sometimes I get scared that I can’t remember what it felt like to hold her hand (she called them hand hugs). I am closer now to God than I have ever been.

[@cliffmoore1360]

Len, you can be sure that your wife will be the first person you will be greeted by when you cross over. I ran into an old workmate who had lost his wife about a year before I lost my wife. We understand what we are going through. Maybe not exactly but we know and understand the pain. I’m sure that you have had vivid dreams of your wife. I have had three plus what I would call a vision. A couple of days ago I had another one in which she assured me that she would be there for me when I cross over. I’ll share something with you that may bring a bit of a chuckle. I found myself in the upstairs of what I would call a townhouse. Suddenly, there she was. She appeared younger and her hair was darker. She asked me if I had any toilet paper. I looked at her and asked her why would she need toilet paper. Is life on the other side similar to this side? She kind of laughed. She said there are many things that are very much like this side. There is far more variety in just about everything. She said, say you want a box of cereal. In comparison, here is generic, plain package and only a bland tasting cereal. In Heaven, a store would have an endless variety of tastes in brightly colorful packaging. Towards the end, I asked if I could give her a hug. She said, of course. This all seemed so matter of fact as if nothing happened to her. I showed her that I still were our wedding band. She said she had to go. She ran down the stairs. I ran after her. When I got to the bottom, there was a huge room with lots of people and it looked like some kind of party. I couldn’t find her in that crowd. I then woke up. Len, I felt so good! I do have family that has been there for me but I still feel lonely and miss her so much. I am thankful that I am in my seventies. My time away from her shouldn’t be very long. Like you and your wife, we too had plans and dreams that we wanted to do together. We did accomplishing many things together during our retirement and even before. Hang onto your memories and I know that your faith and your desire to help others will carry you through. Cliff

@@lenandcindypresley....4830 Hi Len, after we all pull ourselves through this and feel motivated to do a little more, we can start taking the steps to get rid of the acculation as we go forward. Our loved ones that have passed are not here to deal with this, we are in charge, the objects are not. In the big picture none of this stuff matters, I loved my husband and still do, but I dont have to love and worship the fishing poles he left behind, some of the stuff they left behind, they didn't really want either.. pick out some special items to keep and cut the cord of "the stuff" Say a prayer, put together a plan and ask for help dealing with it. If you take stuff to donate, add some of your stuff too, that way it not just hers. If you can't take it, have someone come pick it up. Donate clothes and items for a good cause, maybe to shelters or churches. Personal things that you want to get rid of that can be burned, have a cleansing / releasing ceremony. I am also working on this. Think if you were going to go live in an RV, you would take only the stuff that means the most, a few sentimental items, pictures or items that could go in a small box and some essentials. All the rest had a purpose or place in your past, is not essential to you now, or your future. We are all dealing with this similar story, everyone's is a little bit different but we all facing this in our own mirror. We are all survivors and trying to figure out what it is we are supposed to be doing.

[@janicemcantyre3360]

Hi Len, So many similarities in your life with Cindy as with my husband Charlie and I. It has been 27 months since I lost him. So very lonely after married 42 years. I am going on with life, but so much sadness when the "Love of your Life" gone. Exercise class and walking helps my mood at least. Walking is when I like to talk to the Lord and pray.🙏 Your cat Annie looks like one of my ferals "Rolly." My husband spent alot of time with her and Shiloh in our backyard before cancer took him. I have five ferals but all fixed. I feel like you are a forever friend, because watched your videos from the beginning. I hope this year is a better year for all of us on this site! Our world has become very angry, but I try to see the good in life! God Bless you! 🙏❤🌻🐱🕊

Hi Janice, hopefully day by day things will get better. I too know the feeling of being lonely. I need to start walking but I'm lazy. Maybe soon. Have a good evening 🙏

Hello Janice. Always, always, good to hear from you My friend. Thank you once more for leaving a positive response from your heart. Yes this world is not the same as only a few years ago. Things are forever changed and not always for the good. Only remedy for us all is christ Jesus. I wish we were neighbors , so much we could talk about and prayers to and for all the hurting ones who share in our grief journey. It is a good thing to help and love others as you love yourself. It is also not so easy at times. God helps me to be patient and understanding of others situations. I have to remind myself that He has forgiven me for everything past present and future, thanks to Jesus. I wonder if Charlie and cindy have met yet . It's gonna be a grand reunion when that appointed time has arrived. Looking up ,looking ahead and keeping behind near me always. God bless🕊🙏🏻☝️

@@lenandcindypresley....4830 I hope they have met in Heaven! My two regular friends I went to high school and college have drifted away. I still see my " GriefShare" friends once a month. It helps to be around people who understand loss. Three of the ladies and I eat out once a month for lunch. Ages range from 62, 65, 67, and 81. We do laugh at least during that time. The 65 year old just remarried a widower in her church. My daughter is still struggling from the loss of her father. It's hard to find joy at times, but just pray for strength from Jesus. I hope your cats are well!🙏🕊🌻

[@lenandcindypresley....4830]

All cats r doing fine . I'm glad I have them for distraction from loneliness. Hope your daughter is well...🫂

As a dad who just loss his two oldest children within two months apart, grief. Tell me, a child who was gave up by his mother at 21 months old, his father who was killed at 4 years old, grief, you have know idea about grief.

[@lenandcindypresley....4830]

Your words are hard to listen to, Randy. I have no idea what you have been through. I don't claim to know what all grief is like. I do see by your words that you are hurting bad. I'm sorry for all the loss and truma of this terrible grief that you are enduring now. I have mentioned before in other videos that we had no children, and I thought it would be equally devastating, if not worse, to lose a child, let alone 2 or more. I'm so saddened by your words. These affect me and others, I prayed for you. Others will, too, I believe. May God be near...

[@randyrstevens4403]

@@lenandcindypresley....4830 Please Forgive Me, I apologize for sounding so harsh. Everyone goes through grief in thier own way. Although yes, I've had my struggles, and heartaches, I keep my eyes on Jesus, not looking to the left, or right, and keep running the good race, and fighting the good fight. For I know my faith in Jesus the size of a mustard seed, will move my mountains, and that same faith in Jesus, will help me overcome the obstacles along my journey Jesus has blessed me with. Praise Jesus Lord God and Savior AMEN. God Bless you and your family and friends, take care, stay safe, stay strong in the Lord Jesus AMEN.

[@lenandcindypresley....4830]

Thank you for your apologies, Randy, but they were not necessary . I think most of us, including me, understand the anquish and devastating effects of grief. I called God a bunch of things I can't repeat. He understood and forgave me before I even uttered them. A God who is not in, or paralyzed by time can see the future from the past , and new, I would ask forgiveness for my anger. What an awesome God , a sovereign and loving Father. I thank you so much for responding, Randy. Jesus is our best friend for eternity. God bless my friend...

I hate cancer, my other half has been gone for almost 3 years and I still cry a lot, but Jesus has met my needs on an every day bases, I also lost another hubby and 2 sons so I never know what’s next but I know the ones we have lost are with Jesus and are in Heaven and we will see them one day again. I only get out of my home once a month oh well

[@debbiel4194]

My husband had lymphoma and died February 21st. I'm just shattered. The grief takes my breath away. I lean on the Lord for comfort. My sleep pattern is so messed up I have no appetite. I hope this pain lifts soon. I'm so broken.

[@debralints8926]

@@debbiel4194 I will be praying for you Debbie . I was with the man I loved for over 40 years. I too have lost a lot of weight, I never thought he would die and it came as a total shock. It’s so sad to be alone with all these memories, I will be praying you hon.

[@lenandcindypresley....4830]

Hello debra, You definitely have had your share of trials in this life. I'm sorry for all your loss. I have lost nearly everyone also. It is a hard life, but we will see them again and it will be the most beautiful place we have never imagined. I hate cancer too, along with all things happening today . all the suffering and the painful terrible grief so many people have to endure. But like you said , you still cry alot , but Jesus has met your needs according to His plans for you. My hope and prayers are for peace and guidance from God to keep you safe and secure in his love. He is an awesome God he sees everything, He hears everything, and Jesus in us is the reason. God bless...❤️☝️🕊

[@debbiel4194]

I agree that's the part that's shattered my heart. My husband died from lymphoma February 21st 2024 I hate this new life. I'll keep you in my prayers. ❤❤

[@janettemcgregor5712]

I know someone can’t replace Cindy, but wouldn’t it be nice if you could just find a friend… to grab a cup of coffee with or enjoy a meal together I’m sure your wife would want you to. It’s just nice to have a friend ❤

[@JoshLeon2024]

Hi Len, I need to contact you again since my mum is watching your whole content. 2 of us siblings are with our mum Gitti. After a 800 km drive to our home we try our best to comfort her. She felt so blessed after your quick response. Unfortunately my second comment was taken out, so this is the second attempt. Our mum converted to a super healthy lifestyle since our dad, who's sharing pretty much your looks, had been a diabetic for decades, who ignored all the related health issues constantly. Just like it's the case with you our mum isn't capable of working as an English and Latin teacher anymore, since she would do right that along with our dad for so many years, who passed away wey too early at an age of 66. From the bottom of her heart, Gitti wishes to find a way into your wounded heart since she's suffering just like you are. Relay also the best greetings to your late wife Cindy in heaven. Greetings from Germany 🌱🌼🌸🌻🥀💐 ~ Josch & Björn

[@lenandcindypresley....4830]

Thank you for commenting here, Josh. Hello Gitti, I can certainly sympathize with you in this horrible event called bereavement. It stinks , I didn't like it then and I don't like it now. I can't be more simple in my honesty. It is a road for wounded hearts and souls. Some have suffered much more ,perhaps, but each one has to bear their own grief in their own way in their own time frame. It can't be shared with anyone but God. Knowing you are not alone on your journey will help. Others can support you with advice and many needs, but you carry most of the hurt on your own shoulders. I found that crying to God and letting out my hearts excruciating pain to Him has been my biggest and best help. I believe that you will get through the darkest hours If you keep the light on. That light is Jesus. I pray He holds you close each day ,each long night. God bless... My friend...❤🕊
