LaurieR said… Hello Lynnblue. I am so sorry for your loss. I never really know what to say but welcome to this site. It is so very hard for people who have not lost their significant other to understand what your going through. People here all have lost their love and understand. Some people have lost their spouse to cancer also. Take a look around, reading the blogs and even writing a blog or two has helped me. Join the chat when you are ready. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I will do my best to help you. I will send you a friend request, if you wish you can accept.
chez2all said… Hi Lynnblue, I'd like to welcome you to wv. My first husband died 12 years ago following a 16 month battle with brain tumours. I was 40 at the time with 3 children aged 7, 13 and 15. We had been married for 18 years and for a very long time I felt completely lost. I remember those early days and how difficult it is just to function at a basic level.
Please feel free to contact me anytime. My email is: chez2all@hotmail.com
I'm in Australia and the wonderful online support of this place has helped me enormously. For now just remember to breathe and be kind to yourself. I joined this site in April following the suicide death of my 2nd husband in March this year. I also took care of him with mental and physical health issues for the 6 years we were together. These people are an incredible resource...even if you just want to scream...we've all been there and know how it feels. Thinking of you, Chez
