Hi Waeaverwoman

I am so sorry for the loss of your husband and understand the trying to be grateful thing. I also lost my husband Tim 35 months ago to lung cancer and NOT a day goes by that I don't miss him even more.

I'm not online often as I work strange hours plus sometimes the comments make me more upset; but hear to listen anytime you may need.

Always difficult to "welcome" someone here, since the reason we're all here is so incredibly sad.  That being said, however, we do welcome you and are so very sorry for your loss.  I lost my husband suddenly and unexpectedly on March 27th - a massive heart attack, with no prior symptoms or diagnosis - and no chance to say good-bye or anything else for that matter.  We would have been married for 41 years in June.  I know what you mean about the struggle between being grateful for what we had and just feeling "so darn sad"...it's up and down for me and I have periods of both and just try to roll with it - don't know what else to do.  I've joined a grief support group that's offered through our local hospice and it seems somewhat helpful.  Anyway, I wish you all the best and I think you'll find much support, encouragement and understanding on here.  Lynne

So sorry for your loss. I was maried for 26 years. It seems like a life time.

Take care of yourself. Pace yourself.

 

(((Hugs))) to you.

WeaverWoman,I am soooo sad for you too!  33 days out you just have to be crazy with grief and in total shock right not.  I lost my husband to cancer 7 months ago & I am just starting to come out of the shock stage.  I also lost my sister to lung cancer 4 years ago & she lived 15 months after her diagnosis but she never had the healthy stage your husband had.  All you can do is take it one day at a time.  Be sure to lean on your friends and family and your new family here for love and support.  We are all in the same damaged boat and we feel your pain and care for you and your loss.  My suggestion is to try to find a grief therapy group in the next few weeks as that helped me so much.  ((((((Hugs)))))))))

I am sorry for your loss Weaverwomean.  We all are here because we lost our loves.  We have all been through so many emotions.  Grateful is a very tough emotion right now for me and I am almost 4 months from loosing my husband.  Believe that everyone here believes in you and are ready to support you through this journey.  Try and be very gentle with yourself.

I'm so sorry for your loss Weaverwoman, I also lost my husband to lung cancer.  He was 48 when he passed on May 14 2011. We found out Feb. 28th and he was gone in May. No amount of time prepares you for any of that. I'm glad you found this wonderful community because it helped me so much. It's still one day at a time but it has gotten a little easier to make it through the day. (((Hugs)))

So sorry for your loss weaverwoman. glad you are here. of course you are sad. you've lost your love, and so much more. don't think you have to be "strong" or "grateful" or anything. allow yourself to grieve.  We all have different stories, but we all feel the same pain. So as Mari would say "We Get It".  Hope you find some comfort here and that this is a place you find you can express whatever you are feeling. It does help, because others that have not lost a spouse/partner really cannot relate to the experience you are having.  We are here for you.

Welcome WeaverWoman,  I am glad you found us here. There is so much compassion and empathy. We each have our pain, and going thru grief. My husband and love of 20 yrs. was diagnosed with melanoma 7 yrs ago. The surgeon thought they got it all.. Well it cam back with a vengenance he was diagnosed 4/27/11 and passed on 6/28/11.. Never coming home after being admitted on 4/27. I am happy for the 20 years.. and the bonus of the 7 ... but we all sure wanted More... trying to remember the happy times, the funny memories. and getting through each "first"
