Hi everyone
This Friday will be four weeks since my husband was killed. We were together for 18 years. I feel like I am in a dream and that I am going to wake up and he will be laying next to me. We had an argument. He wanted to drive. I said no because he had been drinking. He refused to get back in the car, said he was done, and started walking down the highway. I decided to give him time to cool off and drove to the next exit, made a U-turn and by the time I came back to where he got out, two vehicles had hit him killing him instantly. I feel so guilty. He would have never left me on the side of the road even if I said I wasn't getting in the car. He would have driven behind me till I wised up and got back in the car. The guilt is eating me alive and all I can see is his face as the cars hit him and him being thrown into the concrete barrier.
Everyone keeps telling me it will get better. In the meantime, they are all moving on with their lives and although I know they are sad over his loss, it feels like he is just forgotten. Like "oh well, he is gone..lets go grab dinner at this new restaurant".
I am disabled in a wheelchair and so I depended on him for just about everything. I never realized how much he actually did for me till I realized I hadn't had a shower in four days and I had no one to help me get one. I am now having to move into an apartment for disabled people and have to give up my animals like I haven't had enough trauma- lets make her give away her children. I miss everything about him and our life together. We were perfect. The fight we had that night was the first one in ten years. And I know if he hadn't been killed, we would have made up. We always did. I dont know how to do this life. This life is hard. This life is too much change. I just want our old life back.
