Hello,
I lost my husband just before the Christmas of 2011. It has been a bit over 2 years, but sometimes it seems only a few months ago. In other ways, it seems a lifetime ago. He died during my second semester back to school pursuing a degree in biochemistry. I spend my days with kids aged 18-22 or so, and don't really have anyone to talk to when I feel almost alien like. My late husband's family has no contact with me, so I was just hoping to find someplace to talk when I need understanding. His birthday and our anniversary are coming up in April. It was horrible last year, so I want to be more proactive this year. I wish I could say we had a happy marriage, but that is not true. However, I did make a commitment to be there and to love him no matter what. To this day, I am so incredibly glad I chose to focus on the blessings. My work and classes keep me swamped most of the time, but may I participate as time allows? Thank you.

Of course, you may. You are welcome.
I know how you feel, that sometimes it feels like yesterday, and others like it was so very long ago.

My husband was taken from me at a very young age (it's been 43 years) and there are times it seems like only yesterday. I have raised my 5 children and have lost one of them but live goes on and so do we. I am alone but not lonely....I would like someone to talk to but have friends that help with that. Hang in there...you are a survivor

Thank you both for the warm welcome. Today was just one of those really hard days. Before my husband died, we also lost all of our children in miscarriages, so it just feels like my whole family has been wiped out. Fortunately, I do have my schooling and work to keep me busy most of the time. I am thankful to have people who have walked this same road.

You are more than welcome to come in this group. It really does help to have these wonderful people around. Losing a significant other is a pain that people do not understand until they have had the pain themselves. Some days it doesn't seem real, others its right in your face, some you feel like you've finally got it together and then the next you fall apart. And believe it or not...they say it is all normal.

I know what you mean. I think of all the days we spent together. All the vacations. He passed away on April of 2011. I still think of him every day. Every April it's hard. My first husband passed away in April too. In 2000 and four months before that I lost my dad. I just miss them so much. I don't have anyone I can talk to either. My kids have their own lives. I feel like a third wheel when it comes to them. I love my kids, but they just don't understand.

Thank you so much for sharing your stories. It is encouraging to hear that some of you have been alone longer than I and still have tough times. Not that I want people to have tough times, but I feel less abnormal. I feel blessed to read your comments. I may try the facebook group, but I use speech software due to my lack of vision, and facebook is not the easiest to navigate. That may be a summer project when I have a bit of time.

This is the most heart warming groups ever. I was so glad to have a group that we can just let our feelings out and people understand.
Since I have joined this group, I have felt I am not alone. It was 4 yrs July 3 for me and like the rest of us, it seems like a long time ago and yet it seems like yesterday.
I too have my good days and bad days. This past week has been a bad week, but today I got up and put my BIG girl panties on  dusted myself off and said ok...forward march.
 (You wouldn't want to see the BIG girl panties   nor the DUST that came off)
So to everyone here ...Thanks for your love, understand and support..
Many   to all.
Have a safe 4th of July

Welcome. For me, after my husband passed, normal is different. It has taken me some time to get use to my new normal of a single person. You are among people who grieve at their own pace yet will understand parts of your journey. Peace and hugs Barb
