Lost my wonderful husband and best friend and can't seem to get over it. Hoping that coming on here I will find someone I can talk to and get some peace.

Hi Benita sorry to hear about your husband passing. I also lost a wonderful man in my life we were dating and short after he passed away and the grief has been a roller coaster ride. Try to hold on to faith and anything good and positive you carry in your heart . I try to be here late nights and could certainly use the company to talk and cope together.

Hello Benita,

I just lost my husband on Sept 5, 2014.   I know you are feeling a great loss. We were married 39 years, and he was by best friend, and my soul mate for life. If I can help you in anyway please let me know.  I know talking about them and letting the tears flow does help. 

Keeping you in my prayers

Cheryl

i just lost my husband on father's day of this year and i am having a hard time coping with the loss . I am raising our two school age children any advice please.

[Cheryl Childress]

I am so sorry for your loss. I know you must feel as I do right now, totally lost, there seems to be no normal to your life right now.  Just today I found a picture of my husband I had not seen in a long time and I just broke down into tears,  I just want to feel normal again but I really haven't grasped what that is right now.  Talking about our loved ones really does help. Remembering all the good times and special moments. I am also on facebook, please send me an invite and we can talk daily if you want.

Hi benita....im so sooooo sorry for your loss...maybe we can help each other out....my father died unexpectedly in a tragic car accident w my sweet mom on Sept. 9 this year....needless to say we r all new to this. As a widow, what do you need/want from people. I'm 51, mom is 84 and dad was 86....my brothers are 53, 55, 57...two live out of town and oldest one and I r in town with her. Holidays will be tough needless to say....thinking on spending christmas eve overnite at her house...so shes not alone...what do you think? 

[Carrie]

I would do that way you can talk about how you are both feeling.

[Sue Kaleck]

Any support is good for the heart....hopefully!!

Carrie....i see your replies in main room but when i reply back to anyone I cannot post...what am i missing?

I am so sorry for your loss.  I do know how you feel.  I lost my husband on March 26, 2014.  He was also my best friend and soul mate for life.  Some days are ok and others are just terrible.  Its going to be like this for a long time.  My husband has been gone only 8mos and my life without him is empty and I'm feeling so alone.  I would like to talk to you sometime.
