whymeohlord: I am so sorry for the loss of your Mark and that you have to join this group, but happy you have come to this forum to gain some strength because everyone on here can relate to your loss.
My Ernie passed away April 27, 2011 of pancreatic cancer and I still miss him with every breath and heartbeat. It's gaining 10 steps forward and 20 back sometimes, but believe it or not we are here so it means we have more strength in us that we realize.
It is very common when families are not there for support; some families can be nasty like Mark's ex wife and their daughter. Psychiatry isn't a proven science and doesn't let the person off the hook who is one have a degree in 'being normal themselves.' I think his ex wife is jealous you have brought the best out in Mark where she has failed and it's also common to some degree that the jaded parent (Mark's ex wife) poison the child or children left behind and not thinking of the welfare of them. In time the daughter will come around when she can think for herself as she's grieving for her father right now and feels torn between trying to keep peace with her only surviving parent (her mother) while remaining loyal to her father. Although you feel time doesn't heal it does and if you look back and see that Mark's youngest brother and wife came out nowhere and both are there for you I believe Mark made that happen and, that means Mark is watching over you and protecting you. Miracles do happen in life even after we lose the true love of our life. No matter how hard it is hon your Mark would want you to go on in his memory and lean on his younger brother and wife and his friends. You ARE strong.
I hope you keep coming here and just release all your feelings as we're here and know how you feel as we're going through loss of our loved ones as well. This forum has saved my life many times.
Big hugs (because you need one)
Marsha

Why, Sometimes people get pleasure out of making others suffer and in the case of Loonie, she is doing a good job. RIght now you need to step away from those making your life miserable and worry about you. Grieving is difficult without adding the living into the mix. The ones I feel sorry for the most are you and Mark's daughter. You both lost someone who was special in your life and that is what you need to focus on. Take it one step at a time and stay far away from Loonie as possible or she will drag you down a road you do need to travel down.
Nina said:My husband died a few months ago and I am totally lost without him but no one can understand unless they walked in your shoes do not let an ex get to you just ignore her change your e mail have nothing to do with her or you will go insane I feel that way and I am by myself no children everyone tells me they understand they mean well but they have not been there I do not have all the answers but stay far away from the ex she. will do everything to hurt you do not let her. Now who can help me? thanks for listening

I'm so sorry you're hurting. It is strange how their "loved ones" aren't very loving after a death. My husbands family doesn't understand why I'm still sad and they told me it doesn't do any good to cry I should be strong and move on with my life. It's only been 3 months. And as far as "a life" I don't have a life anymore it died when my husband died. I'm just existing day to day and putting on a fake face for others I'm so worried I will never feel happiness again.
I also lost my husband of 56 years 3 months ago, on April 25th. I have seen a psychologist regularly. I knew him before my husband's death. He said it will peak - continue to get worse - at about 6 months and slowly decrease until about a year. I t will never be gone, but at 18 months I will not be suffering like this. i hope this helps.
