My wife died a year ago

My wife died about one year ago and I'm still crying and missing her so much every day. We have 11 years old son. I miss her so much and I can not live without her. I miss her smile, voice, presence. How do you cope after one year? I feel like it happened a few days ago. I would love to be with her. I lost all hope, future, sens of life.

  • Im sorry to hear about your loss. Its only natural to miss her i wish i could tell you it gets easier. You have your son to help keep you going. Have you tried talking to a counceling? It might help you to talk

  • So sorry  for your loss. I feel the same lost my Penny ️ on the 6th November 2019 From Mets Breast Cancer lasted just 3 weeks after diagnosis was being treated for Sciatica by GP after  complaining of back pain it had spread to her spine.  This after I had been diagnosed with Prostate cancer just after last Christmas had Radiotherapy in June/July 2019 again GP said I had piles after arguments with GP finally got a PSA test when they told me I didn't need one came back sorry you've got Prostate cancer. Don't care much anymore Just miss my Penny ️ so much cannot understand that Penny ️ was at stage 4. On research Penny ️ could have had it in her body for a least 2to5 years. 2 of her brother's had been diagnosed with Prostate cancer before myself. At the time only after researching did I come across that if a family member like brother has been diagnosed prostate cancer the sister has a chance of Breast Cancer due to the Gene being closely linked .  Please try to be strong I know it isn't easy I feel for both your son and yourself. 

  • Hello Andy,

    I am so sorry to hear of your loss. How are you coping at the moment. 

    I know what you are experiencing because my lovely wife Lesley died 18 months ago. It does some seem like a helpless situation but somehow you must try and get through it. Especially as you have a 11 year old son you must try and be strong for both of your sakes. 

    The way I tried to help myself was to think that Lesley wouldn't want me to be like I am. Our children are in their twenties but it doesn't make it any easier. Believe me I could cry all the time as I miss her so much. Grief is not forever. But love is.

    Please let me know how you are doing as I know how horrible these times are.

    Chris
