Emy, I am truly sorry for your loss.  I to am glad that you have found this site and please keep coming to chat.  It has been a live saver for me. 

@ deneice, I understand how hard these first can be for all of us.  Sunday, July 1st was the 9 month mark for me.  This past week has been extremely hard for me.  I to don't see this month getting much better as this is also the same month I lost my dad 24 years ago and 1 month from today would have been husband's 59th birthday. 

Prayers and ((((HUGS)))) to all.

i am going through a lot right now, but i wanted to let you know that i am very sorry for your loss. I lost my husband of 14 years on june 4th. We have been together for almost 20 years. He has always been a big part of my life and now i am so lost and lonely. I have a hard time doing normal everyday chores and i am trying so hard, we have three children and i am trying to find them some kind of normalsy. It is hard to do considering i feel like someone keeps yanking the rug out from underneath my feet and making me fall deeper and deeper into a big black hole. If you would like u can send me a friend request.

emy, i just wanted to let you know that i completly understand where you are at at this point of the
grieving cycle. I lost my husband to a massive heart attack on june the fourth. With my husband it was family hereditary so now i worry so very badly about my children. It sudden cardiac failour. There is no way to prevent it or to stop it from what the coroner had explained to me. July the fourth was extremly sad for me, the first holiday without him and it was my grandmother that passed six years ago's birthday and it was the one month marker. I am forever daves girl.

Emy, My husband also passed away from blood clot complications. He passed away at age 29 on May 23, 2012. What has been helping me a lot is working with the national blood alliance, stoptheclot.org by learning, educating and helping to plan memorial events it makes me feel like hes still here. I cant bring him back but there is a great since of pride and comfort in knowing that his story will save lives.

I know we dont know each other but I have lots of time on my hands too if you ever want to talk.

i am trying to hold on, take one day at a time.  My dear husband died June 2nd of a pulmonary embolism.  Out of nowhere.  This is during a time in which we are both unemployed. <sigh>


Being alone with this raw sadness has given me horrible bad days.  I thank God that I found this site.  People here have been so kind and helpful.  I know I can come here when I'm feeling close to the edge.

Today makes 1 month since my husband died. Still in that shocked mode and living in a time warp. I've already been through my first father's day and 4th of July... Family is supportive, and I am thankful, but it is the saying, "Not alone, but lonly!" I know it gets better, but it sure as hell hurts right now!

Hi Ann,

I have a few feelers out.  Thank you for your suggestions, I'll look into it.  My daughters are finding things rough at the moment too and I've been trying to help them but so far the counselors we've found haven't been very helpful...good with platitudes...but not helpful.

My next stop will be the hospice where my first husband died...maybe they can recommend...
