Hi Melissa I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how you feel about the paperwork and making phone calls and telling over and over my husband died. He also had no will. I hated opening up the mail!! The day I picked up his death certificates it was our 42nd Wedding Anniversary. I just lost it at the funeral home. Go ahead and cry you need to. The funeral man hugged me and asked me questions about my wedding day. He was very kind. Many Hugs to you and prayers

Hello Beensad, I'm terribly sorry for your loss.I just lost my husband of 42 years. I'm 64 years old & I've known my husband since I was 15!! We were extremely close like you were. I also expected my husband to call me & I thought I could call him. I had horrible panic attacks and it seems to get worse for me instead of better. I joined a bereavement group which helped but not enough. I now go to counseling and it's solo helpful for me. There is no time limit on grieving and take very small steps at a time. Listen to your heart. I still cry a few times everyday. I wish you the best and somehow it gets a little softer. Many Hugs!!

Hi Cassie, I'm so sorry for your loss. Your question of are there any tricks to finding peace made me reach out to you. I lost my husband 4 months ago we were married 42 years. I started having panic attacks days after his death. They stopped me in my tracks. I was never so frightened like this. I got on medication to help me. I don't have small children like you which is something I can't imagine. I prayed really hard when attacks came on. It was all I knew to do. I now go to counseling which helps me a lot. Do what you feel is best for you, take small steps. There is no time limit on grieving. Take care Hugs!!

Hi Peg, I'm also new to this forum I joined today. I'm very sorry for your loss of your beloved husband. I lost much beloved husband of 42 years on June 23,2019. I also started feeling worse a couple months ago than I did in the beginning. My counselor told me it's cause the shock has worn off and reality has sunk in. This is normal evan though our lives are changed forever. I recommend bereavement groups. Your not alone I know it's incredibly hard. Your in my prayers!

Hello Alma, I'm so so sorry for your loss. My husband died almost 5 months ago. I can relate to crying, screaming, and constant crying. This is normal along with no energy. Please j o in a bereavement group and anything else for relief. I know about a special deep love. I will keep you in my prayers. You are not alone!!

I am so sorry about your wife. She was amazing from what you write. Your story has similarities to mine. I lost my beloved husband David on June 23,2019. Dave had a kidney transplant in 1981. Lasted 38 years. Over time he developed many health problems but he always fought to get better. I never knew anyone could have so ma y things wrong with them!! We also have 1 daughter who has special needs she is 34 years old and still lives at home. She is so strong and if I didn't have her I may have done something tragic. My husband took wonder care of my daughter and I. His last couple of years were spent in and out of hospitals, doctor app and tests. We were married 42 years. This is solo unbearable!! I'm glad I signed into this forum. My prayers for and your son.
