Comment by Joyce on September 12, 2012 at 4:43pm Cyna: Like others have said here, thank you for putting into words and sharing exactly how I feel. Amputated....perfect description. Hugs!
Comment by jean on September 12, 2012 at 3:46pm nailed it!
Comment by 2mtstern on September 11, 2012 at 7:03am Cyna, thank you. It so well matches my feelings too. My forum name, 2mtstern, is short for "too empty stern." My husband and I loved canoeing and, unlike many of our other paddling friends, paddled a tandem, he most often the stern paddler and me the bow paddler. This weekend I and a group of our paddling friends from 5 different states are getting together to camp and paddle a river about an hour from my home. I'll be paddling solo. I'll feel that amputation. Our campfires will involve telling lots of stories of gatherings past, including memories of Darryl. I'll feel the amputation.

Comment by Keith's Wife on September 10, 2012 at 10:08pm Thank you so much for putting in words what I can't. At least there is one place I can come and I know that people "get it".
Exactly:(

Comment by Mrsbigdog80 on September 10, 2012 at 1:04am This is how I feel also thanks for putting it into words do you mind if I use some of this to explain to friends and family

Comment by mamatrees on September 10, 2012 at 12:23am No,it will never be the same again...i know...i feel it too.
Had a terrible night,mostly feel very lonely on sundays...
because that was our family day.
Feel amputated too,
as my husband was not just my husband,
but also my best friend!
Big hug from Belgium
Comment by Dianne in Nevada on September 10, 2012 at 12:22am Ah Cindy ... I understand. And that's why I generally get only 3-4 hours of sleep in our bed each night. It's easier to stay up until I either fall asleep in my hubby's recliner while reading or watching tv. Then when I wake up I can crawl off to bed and fall asleep without thinking ... or missing ... or dreaming. Nights are tough ....
But I'm doing really, really well during the day.

Comment by janet on September 9, 2012 at 11:47pm Cyna, you have said what I was feeling but could never put into words. Thank you. Sending Hugs your way Sweet Lady.
