brnagn53 I am sorry for everyones loss. I am also a recent widow. I lost my husband last December. We all feel the same way, we lost a part of our body, our heart. You just have to let yourself go through the grieving process. I bought a couple of grieving books on ebay that has helped me, it helps you know that you are perfectly fine and you are going to go through certain steps of grieving. It is still definitely hard, no matter how we look at it. This is a wonderful site, as you know there are a lot of people going through the same thing. Losing a spouse is very difficult! I go a few days of being fine, then all of a sudden something triggers a thought of him and I cry for 3-4 days. We have to cry, it gets us through it. Hugs to you all!! Lynn

Hi Missingmylove, I stopped in here again to see how you and everyone else is doing. Looks like we are all doing the same. I did have a stretch of good days for some reason, but now I am back to having my sobbing days. And with the quilt, I did keep some of my husbands clothes, as I planned on making a quilt some day, not sure when? As with you, looking at and getting rid of his stuff is very difficult. This site is great as we can express our feeling, and belief it or not is probably helping us cope. Hang in there. Hugs, Lynn

Mommy1201, Thank you. I know this first year is going to be a difficult one. But knowing there are so many others going through the same thing helps the pain a little.

KayC, Thank you. I made it through it.

R.Everit55, I am very sorry for your loss, also. It is so difficult to loose the ones we love at such young ages. We are all here together to try an make it through our difficult times.

KayC Thank you. It will be a tough day for me.

missingmylove, thank you for replying to me. My husband was my life and backbone, I felt I could do anything when he was around, now I feel like I am lost. It is not fair! I keep thinking some how I can bring him back, but know in reality it is not going to happen. Can I ask you how old your husband was? My husband was 59, would have been sixty tomorrow 1/28. I had all these plans to enjoy myself with him when I retired (he was retired/disabled). And do all the things we dreamed of doing. It is just soo hard, especially getting rid of his stuff. He was so proud of what he owned, as he worked hard to get what we had. He loved flying r.c. planes, and it is so hard to get rid of them, I feel like I am betraying him. Why does this have to be so difficult.

missingmylove, I lost my husband of 11 years (was together 15) Dec 3 2014. Your post is like words right out of my mind. Everything you said is so very similar to my husband and my relationship. And the other post about going to the store and seeing things that you would have bought for your husband, same goes here. And coming home, to an empty feeling. I feel I am missing part of my own body! It is so difficult! I feel if I am doing something without him I am leaving him out. I do not know how anyone can go on. I also have children and grandchildren. He also loved me sooo much, as I did him. I was his caretaker for many years. It was a lot of work, working a full-time job also. I keep thinking there could have been something I could have done to still have him around. But, like I said, your words are exactly my words in every way. I am thinking of you, as I go through my grieving also, I totally understand. Here is a great big (((hug))) for you. lynn
