When my husband died almost three years ago - I never imagined that I would ever choose to be in a relationship or try this thing called love again. The first two years were long and hard filled with uncertanity , grief ,fear, sorrow and at times anger. I had lost so much and had given so much to my marriage for 27 years. My husband committed suicide July 19th, 2010. There was no warning ( that I could have realized then) now I know in hindsight there were signs and subtle hints…

Today would have been 29 years of marriage for us. I don't know how to preceive this day. We were married for 27 years when Don took his life. I loved ( love ) him and loved being married to him. Growing up I had also knew I wanted a husband and kids. I came from a very dsyfunctional family and always just wanted a "normal" life and marriage. I don't regret marrying Don even with how our life together ended but I hate the fact that he took the choice from me to have a happy ever after. I…

Two years , 3 months such a short time but also a lifetime. Only through the grace of God, my family, my sons, my friends and my Camp Widow pals have I held it together and moved forward somewhat on this grief journey. Don't get me wrong I am not "healed" and I don't think I will be ever be completely. How do you lose the love of your life one very normal, ordinary day in a spllit second and get over it? I know you never do but I also know in my heart that this life goes on. Somehow you…

A year and a half ago I found this site. I was new to widowhood, not having any idea what the future held or what I was going through or thinking was even "normal". Soaring loss foundation and widowed village saved my sanity. I found hope, friendship, support, encouragement and those who did "get it". I went to Camp Widow a month after my 1 year anniversary. Even though I was scared, alone and totally out of my element I felt that I just had to go! I needed to connect with those who were…

avgypsy said… thank you so much Lisa for the friend request and for writing. I wish I had more time to spend on this site but too many things that require my attention having to do with my husbands death. He died on election day and so wanted to be around for the results. Was not to be, I guess! Hugs, Pat

deneice said… - i just wanted to come by your wall and thank you for your friend request. I tried another site before this one and it was just to easy to set up, i feel secure that all the people on here are dealing with great loss just as i am. Other sites scare me cause their are people out there that enjoy sucking up your pain and dont have a clue as to how bad it really hurts. Thank you.
