I can relate to everything you said in this video. I lost my husband of 45 years 4 months ago to a very sudden and unexpected diagnosis of stage 4 liver cancer. Though I do not cry all day long anymore, I still cry every day and the grief may subside a bit as time goes by, but my loneliness and the sickness in my stomach of being so empty and the coming home to an empty house for the rest of my life is unbearable. We did not have any time to bring closure to anything and we did not even have time to say a final goodbye. He went downhill so fast that I was able to say a few words and tell him that it was okay to close his eyes and go. But that was a lie because I couldn't stand letting him go. The pain is just as strong now as it was in those last 15 minutes I had with him. I feel good when my friends are around but of course they cannot be around 24/7. So of course, the evenings are the worst for feeling The emptiness of the house and the pain of missing him when I get home and he's not here.

I'm so sorry for your tremendous loss. Learning how to define this new season and filling it slowly with things that bring you joy will help to ease the pain. Are you getting any structured support for your recovery?

I can so relate. Friends, even family, can't replace those intimite moments no matter how much they love us. Hugs to us both trying to find out what this new world looks like.

Lost my husband suddenly to a heart attack 1 month ago. I sooooooo relate to the unbearable loneliness. We both worked remotely from home so we were together 24x7 and I have no family available. the worst is the hours after work finishes when we would talk, complain about work, generally process the day. Talking to friends isn't the same for those intimate conversations. They just don't get it. I hope it gets better for us both.
