I really want to thank all of you here. Reading all of your posts makes me feel so much better than my doctor and grief counselor. My doctor (for some reason) is going to have a psychiatrist call me tomorrow. I read his notes. He has a portal, and I can see what he writes about me. I wonder why he wants that? To be honest with you, I really just want to be left alone at this point. I’m finding a lot of peace in the forests. I love to hike, so I’ve been doing that more now. I’m retired and don’t really have a schedule to keep. Thank you all again for being so kind to me.

This is my wife and I about 5 years ago.

I really want to thank all of you for your kind words and advice. Can you believe that the two people that told me to move on are my doctor and a grief counselor? My doctor knew how close my wife and I were. I can’t believe he said that. That’s when he made the grief guy call me who told me the same thing. He call’s me twice a month and should be calling me tomorrow. I’m going to tell him that I don’t need his help anymore..I’m doing great. I have to lie about it. That’s what he wants to hear from me. I really want to thank all of you for letting me vent.

Hi, I’m new here. I’m also new to grief like I’m having now. My wife of 35 years is gone. On October 1st last year, she left me We were having a fun day until around 4pm. I went into the bedroom to get something (I forgot what it was now) and then I went back into the living room and I thought she fell asleep on the couch, like she’s done a million times before...but this time, she didn’t wake up. I shook her and told her to wake up. I couldn’t believe what happened. I was talking to her just a few minutes ago. I called 911 and they got to my house fast. I watched them work on her.. but no good..she was gone. I can’t explain to you how devastated I am over this. My wife, my best friend, my love, has left me. My life has changed in a second. I am so lost without her. I’m told that I have to move on, but I’m finding that very hard to do. Well, that’s my story. I thought a place like this would help...so here I am. Joey
