On Sept.9,2009 I lost my husband.Nov.20 was our 44th anniversary.I stayed busy all day but it didn,t help.As thanksgiving came and went and Christmas fast approaching I came to the realization,that it doesn't matter what day it is.I miss him every minute of every day.So it doesn't matter what the the date is.What tears me up is that my children are so sad.I have to be "strong" for them.

I lost my husband, best friend and love of my life to metastatic bile duct cancer. He fought a hard battle for 2 1/2 yrs. Don't know how I can go on without him I meet him when I was 16! How do u go on?

I lost my Tom to metastatic prostate cancer on June 26, 2998. He was 63 years, still working full time, rode a Harley (we both did) and had a vital interest in everything around him. As I approach my second Christmas w/out him I find I am grieving more now than when he first passed away. I guess now that I have taken care of all the finances etc. life is settling down. I feel more lonely now than ever. I have a very supportive family but their's is a different kind of grief. I have lost someone I have been with since I was 15. We were married 42 1/2 years. I would love to correspond w/people who know the feelings I have and am experiencing.

I am new to this group but thought I would see if someone at least understands where I am coming from. It will be a year on Friday since I suddenly lost my best friend, boyfriend of 18 months. The first two months were like I was in a fog and his family had been very supportive. Then all that changed and no one in his family speaks to me anymore. One of his sister in laws said it was because he did not talk about me (he was a private person) and they did not know me. Someone told me I was "just the girlfriend" I understand grief as I lost my mom and older brother 4yrs ago but how does one do this alone? Any comments would be helpful.

How is everyone? I feel like I am losing my mind. Every emotion in the world is coming out and I have no idea how to control them. Dec. 9 my fiance and I were going to be leaving Florida and drive to Texas to spend our Christmas together with close family and friends and the little boy we sacrificed 4yrs of our life to protect. Our christmas were rough throughout the yrs and this Christmas was special. It is killing me to be sitting at home without him. The lonliness consumes me, the heatache sufficates me and going on isn't a desire anymore. I hate my life, I hate that he is gone and that I am all alone. How do you let go of the "should haves", "could haves" or "would haves"? Delete Comment

Hi Sharon
Like you I feel out of control.I do ok for a few hours then it hits me with full force that she is not here and will not be here.My kness go weak, I cry and that sick feeling hits me.Most of us here are new to this.I know people say it gets better with time but I am not so sure.I kiss her pictures, I go outside and touch her flowers, anything I can think of to make contact with her.I love that lady with every fiber of my being.Do you just get a balloon and blow it up and let it go?I need to do something

Hello all, the seasons are here and it is really gonna be rough this year without my husband here, but I will try to be strong.I have been doing rather well but this last week it has hit me again, almost 9 months and it all came rushing back to me like it was yesterday. I suppose that these are normal feelings but sometimes I feel so not in control of them so I usually find something to do to keep my mind going in another direction. I will however send up another balloon to him for Christmas and that makes me feel a lot better. Maybe you all could try to do that
