Never done anything like this  before but been told talking can help. I lost my wife 5 days ago  wife was only 39 she left behind two young boys ages 9 and 2  she had Brest cancer  and after a long battle she lost the fight. Now it's just   me I some how have to be a mum  and dad and keeping strong for the kids  with all the mummy in hevan  and will always be with us but all I want  to do is to kiss her lips and cuddle once more.     29/12/20 day 8  of this nightmare children seem to be dealing with all this ok ish! 2 year old asked for mummy ever time the phone rings had to bath him without mummy for the first time  that was very hard but I think harder for me than him 9 year old very quiet always playing mine craft  but does stop and talk  about mummy when feeling sad with is hard but lovely at the same time. Going forward I'm thinking of doing a memory jar  so we can Remember things  about  mummy not sure what else I can do? 9/2/21 sorted all the funeral stuff out music photos etc not a job anymore want to do  it's all just a daze! Sometimes at night I here her talking to me  so I sleep well and morning comes and I'm hit by that train again  just going round and round

  • I really feel the pain you are going through, I lost my husband back in June and it feels like the pain I have will never ease. But I want to tell you, I meet my husband 36 years ago he had lost his wife, left with 4 children. When we met we just clicked, even though he had 4 children we were so happy, had one more child after we got married. It was hard work, but we loved each other so much, we just got on with life. I hope you will find happiness again, you may not feel like it, but you are too young not to find happiness. Take care of yourself. Your children will keep you busy, and full of love. 

  • Thank you for taking the time to read my message and reply !  That's amazing your husband  any your self hit it off  where did you meet ?  And how are you doing at the moment? I feel I have lost a big part of me and doing things I don't want to to register the death  ect ect all  I want is her love her so much she was so many thing s   Mummy to the kids / my best mate/ sole mate/ lover  I guess at the mo   I change every 5 mins is I miss my lover  I  no that's strange but  miss that a lot  scap that just miss all of her so much x

  • Hello, we met at a local hotel, the years have flown by, we were married for almost 36 years, we were so happy and loved each other so much, I hate this feeling I have of such pain inside me. I feel that I can not smile or laugh, I was so happy with my life, it's just so cruel it's been taken away. I am so lost, the pandemic has been just a double blow. I know I need to talk to people in the same situation, but we can't meet anyone to talk to. I can imagine how you are feeling, it's so cruel what you are experiencing. I know  we just have to try and stay strong.

  • I know exactly how you feel  all this staying strong is so hard  COVID dose not help at all your right all I want is my wife  and to kiss her x

  • I can imagine, all you want is your wife and to love her. It's so painful, nobody knows. 

  • Just want To believe that she is ok in heaven  there is no way she wanted to leave us  and need to be reassured that she is up there and is safe  To me it feels like very much one minute they're here the next minute they're gone? Hate that feeling the most x

  • Hi Chris,

     

    I know you are engulfed in pain right now, but I want you to know that life does continue. Your wife said so herself, LIVE your life, see beauty in things around you. I know it must be a touchy subject and I do not want to be inappropriate, but you will be able to meet someone new in the future once you have healed. At the end of the day, we are human beings who need companionship, don't feel guilty for needing that. Don't think your life has ended just because your wife's was cut short, LIVE and carry her spirit with you through it.

     

    Sending you lots of love

  • Hi Meg thank you for sending me a message I known your right and I'm starting to feel that way  like as it's nearly spring time the flowers are starting to come out The birds and animal seem to be that little bit braver! My wife even told me to find happiness again on the kind of man who made that but at the moment I couldn't think of anything worse than sharing my bed with somebody else But then at the same time I would love to cuddle someone again! I guess I just want to feel loved again needed sense! At the moment All I really want is my wife even though I can't have her again I know she's always on my shoulder. I guess when the grief monster comes I just want to give me a good kicking 

  • It's so good to hear you say that! Always bear in mind that you have a future a head of you, and there will be love in that future, I can guarantee it. Little by little, allow yourself to enjoy life, there is so much to enjoy, you can take your kids travelling, experience amazing food, dance, and you never know you might just fall in love again. Spring is here soon, and we will be coming out of lockdown soon too, get yourself out there and enjoy life! Always with her beside you

     

    Lots of love,

    Meg x

  •  I want all that to I do have so much to love for  I know I every thing you say is true even my wife said the same  (including loving again) there Is a massive part of me  that feels guilty  I live on and she had to die of cancer that's so on fair? But I guess there's nothing I can do about that just try and move forward through this grief thank you for the kind words x
