Lonely

Lost my husband to Lung Cancer a month ago, I am so lonely and devastated think I will never get over my loss.

Got to move house and lost my job last year to covid.  I am not ready to sort out my husbands items.  Feel like I just want it to be over.

 

Parents Reply Children
  • Drinking wine, probably not a good idea.  Another evening all alone.  Feeling sorry for myself.  Saturdays before he was ill were spent having a nice meal (loved to cook) and bottle of wine watching a film, or going out.  How things have changed.

    How are you

  • I have  a two year old and a nine year old  so keep me busy   My wife was 39 when she died I'm 40! But as soon as the kids are asleep that's when it really hits me I drink wine to then 

    I miss all the little things Like when she's having a shower hiding behind the door but obviously she knew I was there.Or even just cuddling on the sofa So I completely understand what you're saying it's horrible

  • He was 49, 10 days off 50 when he died.  Must be worse for you having kids.  Everything reminds me of him.  God it hurts.  Sleep is a thing of the past, either have nightmares or lie awake unable to sleep.  

  • Having children keeps me distracted and I'm very proud to keep her bloodline going if that makes any sense yes it's hard! Like I said it's all the little things the rest of the world didn't get to see I miss? It's hard but you must remember your husband is in no more pain I know that doesn't count for much because you want him back just like I do! Just take one day at a time  I also miss adult company 

  • We only got married last year together for 9 years, thought I had it made after i had an abusive marriage first time round.

    Life doesn't seem fair, so little time together.  How long were you together.

  •  I met her along time ago but ten years ago  we got together 2019 Had a wonderful wedding so I only had one valentines card from her as a husband Which is really sad yes life isn't fair at all I thought we would grow old together obviously not 

  • I had no valentines as wife, and was hard last Sunday all alone.  31st March our 1st anniversay is going to be hard.  Plus 1 day after eviction date so not sure what will happen.  Apparently courts will hear none payments and anti social ones first so might have a few more weeks.  We were going to buy a house this year, plans from a year ago before he was ill  and would have taken out life insurance.  But didn't do that and now wish we had.  Just shows you shouldn't put it off.

  • 31 March that's my wife's birthday!!!  My wife never had life Insurance  Not even myself had any kind of living for the day but I know what you mean! Life has a way of being cruel to the people they've done nothing wrong that's what I find hard all my wife was a kind considerate person and it was taken from the world it seems like cancer any takes good people 

  • To be honest this is a party hate hate being lonely this is where it gets crazy because if I could sleep next to another girl I don't think I like that but at the same time I've loved doing that for 10 years i'm obviously not ready for relationship but miss the company the one-to-one

  • Yeah miss touch, my husband in last few months distanced himself from me.  Like he already had one foot in the grave.

    But I know what you mean.
