  1. I agree with an earlier comment that the press just doesn't seem to get, or talk about at least, the isolation for those that have lost someone. All they say is to stay away from everyone, but we need just the opposite. Churches are closed, no in person support groups are meeting, can't even have neighbors in your home just to talk for a while. I believe that this is creating a huge mental/emotional health crisis that no one is talking about yet. I'm lucky that I have 2 young kids at home e-learning to keep me busy, along with all the estate stuff I'm trying to fit in in between. The stress is huge and I know it's impacting me physically. I'm worried about my health, what if something happens to me, then the kids are orphans. Hopefully I'll get social security set up soon to have some money coming in. I'm grateful we were always frugal and have an emergency fund or we'd be in serious trouble.
  2. Joan S. Thanks for replying, it helps to know I'm not alone in my feelings and to talk about them with others who understand. I'm still crying daily, sometimes just a few times sometimes a lot, it really varies. Thanksgiving and Christmas are going to be very hard.
  3. I have to believe that if there's life there's hope. If there's no hope, what's the point? I'd just end it now and be with Jon. My kids are my hope now, I have to hope for their future. But this is all SO much harder with COVID. No in person funeral or memorial, my husband's family all live across the country from me and it's not safe for them to travel. No hugs. No celebration of Jon's life, which is what he wanted, a big party. It makes the grief so much harder, as if it wasn't bad enough already.
  4. Thank you everyone. It helps to vent here, and cry. This is all so painful and scary.
  5. But how do you go on? I'm trying to be strong for my kids, but I always have tears in my eyes and cry throughout the day. It took us a while to find one another and we had 13 wonderful years together and now I feel hopeless and empty. My friends and neighbors are trying to help with meals and calls, but I still feel alone, so alone. The pain is very real, but the fact that's he's gone still seems unreal, I just can't wrap my head around the fact that's he's gone.
  6. I saw this post today and had to comment because it mirrors how I feel. I lost my husband on October 6th unexpectedly and I am so lost without him. We have two kids, 9 and 12, and I'm living and trying to cope for them. He was my soulmate and I'm incomplete without him. All of our plans, things he was going to continue to teach the kids, just holding hands, it's all gone and I'm so empty except for the pain and tears. I don't know how "to be" either.
