My husband died on Jan,26, 2010 so I guess that makes us about the same distance from the death. I agree it is very,very hard. We lost our son 27 years ago and looking back I realize that four months means we are very close to the deaths and in very early grief. My children and grandchildren are close to me and are extremely helpful. They too are grieving their father but they can go home. When they do go home things haven't changed so much but I come home to an empty house and that is so painful. God does help but that doesn't stop the hurt. Grief in a way is a life long process. After being married 47 years how long do I think it will take to resolve this grief? A life time. We met in the fourth grade so there is hardly a time he wasn't in my life. But I am greatful to have had him so long. Tell me a little about you.

Hi Cindy, I would like to express my sympathy to you on your loss. I lost my husband of 46 years 6 1/2 months ago. I can understand how you feel. My husband is on my mind all of the time. I can't really think of any times that I am not thinking of him. We were together a long time but I was not ready to give him up. I never lived alone and I am so very lonely without him. The children are great but it does not replace your husband. I wish you the very best and hope to hear from you again. This site is a wonderful place to express your grief and get some well meant advice from others who understand your grief.

Hi Cindy and to all.Its been 13 months and 5 days since my wife of 44 years died during a nap. I have nothing that can help you with your loss as I am still grieving. Alone and sad is what I am. I can only share with you the emotions and sadness. I can truly share with you no matter how you feel, the emptiness and loss. It has taken away my heart,soul and spirit. I died when she died. All I can offer you is understanding and a good ear. A big hug to you and to everyone and I know I need one. I'm from IN too. Remember that as long as we are still here, they will be here too.
