Hi Valinda, I too lost my husband and son all with in 6 years, seem like all Ive done is grieve. I truly feel your loss and I know exactly how you are feeling.My husband had a very long terminal illness,and he was so unhappy in the end, so I think he finially found peace when he passed. My son passed away so quickly and uneexpecdly that I felt so overwhelmed and all the other emotions that go with this .I hope you have family or someone you can lean on during this time. I have no one now, my son was the last of my family. Thats how I came to this site,seeking others who knew the pain, and guilt, and loss, and emptiness all too well. I hope you will find comfort too. Many blessings my new friend. taake care, and Im here several times a day if you want to leave me a message or talk in the chat box. be well and be strong..gina.:)
Oh my gosh. My son went to lay down before dinner. I went to tell him dinner was ready and found him slumped over and cold and blue. I thought I was going to lose my mind at that mooment and many moments after that. I tried to find a pulse and do CPR, but I knew it was too late. I didnt know he hhad any heart problems, but was told he had a massive heart attack and was gone almost instantly, but only my son and God knows what happened in that moment.I still feel guilty for not knowing he was dying and I never heard a sound. Valinda, all I can say is it takes time. I went for a year in this whirlwind of a nightmare, just waiting for death to take me. I cried and still do a billion tears,and feel so empty inside and alone as well. But, I know I m here for a reason, dont know it yet. But I come here and find comfort and strength to get through another day. You are blessed that you have a good friend and wonderful neighbours, reach out to them,and let them in to help you. You will be in my thoughts today. and you can always talk to me ifyou need me. somehow it helps me too. take care and take one moment at a time, as it takes time to heal. Ive learned this the hard way. your friend, gina.:)
Regina we certainly have that experience in common. Thank goodness you had a close relationship. I am thinking about moving to a senior living apartment so there will be people and activities around me.
Valinda I think that is a wonderful idea. Having people around you will be so good for you. My husband passed 2 wks ago and Thank God I am now living with my Daughter & SIL makes it a little rmore bearable If it were not for my Daughter, Son & SIL I really do not know what I would do. Keep strong and know we are all here for you.

Nice to meet you Regina. Thank you for you note. My husband had heart
problems for a long time but meds controlled it well until the last 3 years.
One moment I was talking with him and the next time I came back to the
room he was on the floor and was blue. We bought a home in his home
neighborhood nine months before. Now I am in a wonderful place. Neighbors and all
but just feel isolated. I have a best friend I see every day. My sweet sister
-in-law is a block away. It has only been about 6 weeks but I know I have to find
where and how I can get past this loneliness and depression.

So glad you have family to live with. Makes it so much easier than the empty house. Mine has been gone 6 weeks. Having these chats is good for me.
