Tears Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hi,This is my first visit to this site. My husband died July 25th of cancer. I took care of him for months hoping he would get better. We lived in Arizona and when he passed I had 11 day's to move out of our rented home. I did not work and we survived on his ss. I am originally from GA. A friend flew out to help me pack and sell everything I could to get back. It was very hard and I cryed at nights when we finally stopped to rest. I am back in GA living with my daughter and the impact of his death has hit me. I am scared, hopeless, sad and lost all at once. These feelings are not new to me for I lost my last husband of 19 years but it so different. I keep thinking I am on vacation here and he is still in AZ and I wait for his phone call. I some times wish I would just go to sleep and not wake up. I know I need to find a job for I have no money but it is so hard to function. Does any one have any suggestions.Tears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kath Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Dear Tears,Be gentle with yourself. You have a lot to deal with. I thought I was doing pretty well until I camped very near the place we lived for seventeen years. The flood of memories came rushing back and along with it the loneliness. We were only at our present home a few years when my husband became ill and died shortly after. My friends are not "our" friends and the memories are all new. I'm also in need of a job, but just the thought of working full time overwhelms me. If you can, take time for yourself. Focus on finding a good support group. From what I can tell, this is a good first step.Kath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
