Grieving

My husband of 23 years passed away 3 months ago. The last year was unbearable. I tried everything to help him. I've been going through all if our old photo albums to try to remember the days we promised to "grow old together". My heart is breaking. Not only am I grieving my husband, my brother past away last week. I'm trying to stay strong....taking it one hour at a time.

My condolences to you. It must be very, very difficult to grieve two passings within such a short period of time. I hope you have a good support system. The best thing is to allow yourself to "feel your feelings," no matter how intense or scary they might seem in the moment. By expressing your feelings, you will process these huge life events.

I hope to hear more of your story if you are so inclined to write about it.

Take good care of yourself.

Hello Kjobib,

Please accept my deepest sympathies for both of your recent losses. It must be an overwhelming sort of grief. I'm just so very sorry!

You and your whole family will be in my prayers.

I lost my husband a year and a half ago. Heroin overdose my 4year old and I came home to find him on bathroom floor. My condolences to you and your family. There is nothing anyone can say to ease the pain or lift the fog you feel in. I couldn't focus, think, function normally for the first year. Hard to explain but I bet you know exactly what I'm describing. At the year mark the fog lifted not 100% but made life/functions more bearable. My heart goes out to you as a fellow widow.

I am so very sorry for your losses. This past spring, I lost my ABF and my ex husband within 13 days. I have taken my healing slowly but it has been so important. Feel the hugs of all of us here on FFSA. We are wrapping our arms around you.

Please come back as you work thru your grief, questions and feelings.
Hugs to you,
Joie
