My husband died from a massive brain hemmorage April 22, 2009. Needless to say my world has changed. We had been married 20 years and about the last five years he was in a wheel chair. I took total care of him and now I seem to have all this time with nothing to do. There is plenty of the routine things to be done, but all I feel is empty inside. I have plenty of support with friends and family, but my best friend is gone. I guess it has gotten a little better, but some days, like today, it is very hard to get up and put one foot in front of the other.

Hi everyone - my husband of 12 years committed suicide on August 26 and people keep asking me 'why'. I wish I knew. This has left me with a huge hole in my chest and a stomach full of knots, and never ending tears.

I lost my husband of 35 years on July 17th, 2009. He was undergoing testing for kidney stones when they discovered a very very small mark at the base of his left lung. After many additional tests they decided it should be removed and the doctor made very light of the operation. The operation took 5-1/2 hrs and he ended up in intensive care for 5 weeks on a respirator. He was awake a total of 4 times and not full days. During that time a staple broke and they had to take him back in OR and operate again, this time packing the area and leaving an opening in his back. The spot was cancer but the lowest grade 1A and was only in the one spot. The doctors kept telling me to keep a positive attitude and he was going to make it but it would be a long haul. On the 17th the doctor called me to reassure me he was doing better and an hour later I got a call from the hospital telling me to come right away since he was very unstable. I could not understand and when I arrived they told me he took a turn for the worse and I had approx 15 minutes to say goodbye. He lasted a half hour and as soon as I told him I would be okay and that it was alright to go, his heart stopped beating and he was gone. We do have older children but it is still so lonely without him. We did everything together. He was the love of my life. He took care of everything and now I have to do all of this and it is so overwhelming. I just exist from day to day and some days I think life is just not worth living without him. We had so many plans of downsizing our home, retiring together and now what do I do.

I would like to say welcome to all of those who have joined us here in the group. I also offer my deepest sympathies. Three months ago today I lost my soul mate. To those who are wondering will it get better, I can't say I know. I will advise you to surround yourself with family, friends and coworkers that understand you. I am fortunate in that Kris and I worked at the same place so we had the same friends and they have been very supportive
To those who are looking for other support, contact your local hospice. Many have volunteer support people that will meet with you as the one I have. They may also offer support groups. I will be starting one next week.
Finally, do not let anyone tell you how you should feel or react to anything. Your emotions are your own and they are right for you. Please keep in touch.

No one cares - my husband died on 29 June 2009, and I cannot find any support groups, or anyone who cares at all - noone, nobody nothing. So, I will just cry alone, all by myself

hello my name is lupe and ive recently lost my husband to a 2 & half year battle to cancer of the throat. He was a smoker for 43 years he says. he went home on Aug, 29th 2009 that was the day our pain just began. it has been extremely painful losing him,. he was everything to us, made us completely happy with the simplest things he did. He was thoughtful, loved spending time with us, camping, hiking, going to the beach at Morro Bay was his favorite spot. I dont know how to go on, but i know we will.
