Hello I lost my husband 9 months ago and I find there are no words to describe how much it hurts and how much I miss him. We've got two and a half year old grandsons and they are what keep me going. But like you it's when you're in that empty house it's so hard when you're surrounded by all his things and all the bits they did to the place. I feel so robbed of all the retirement years that we were looking forward to together. 
Sorry I'm not helping you with wise words but I find it helps so much to talk to someone who's going through this awful painful time.

Feel free to add me if you'd like to talk about anything you're feeling because I understand completely what you're going through.

Take care

Elaine

Thank you for replying, not sure how to add you? My husband died in February aged 55 and I am 47 we have an 18 month old grandson, my daughters partner has just proposed, and I just feel sad that he is not here to share this, I miss him so much there is a massive void, and I feel robbed of the rest of our lives together and can't see how this gets better or easier! And no one around can really understand.
