Hi everybody.

           Since i lost my wife 8 weeks ago i find it very hard to cope all day i walk the house i end up in our bedroom sitting on the bed with her photos all around me just talking to her and crying i miss my wife terribly i feel i dont want to go on. I was told about Macmillan Cancer Support i got in touch with them and they put me in touch with Hospice as they run a support group so i went to my first session yesterday. Every body talked about thier loss and grief wich helped me to talk and the way i feel i did it very relaxing they said it will take two to three weeks before you find a diffrence in your self but i will carry on these classes and hope it will help me so i say to everybody who feels the same go to these session it may help you.

                                                                  Love to all

    Hi Midge,

    I lost my partner suddenly to brain cancer 14 yrs ago and I can still remember that feeling of helplessness, I used to sleep with his jacket because it still held his smell. These feelings went on for weeks but it does become more bearable, everyone is an individual and deals with grief in their own way so there is no right or wrong.  If you want to pm me Midge then please do so anytime.

    Take care

    Love Terri xx

    Hi Midge, its early days for you yet,

    losing your wife is still so very raw

    and the pain is still overwhelming, that

    is natreal. Dont rush yourself, you miss

    and love your wife and its not going to

    be easy, but you are taking the right

    steps in meeting people who are facing

    the same heartbreak, and it helps im sure by talking about your feelings.

    I hope in time you will be able to face

    your situation with a positive out look

    for the future, and remember your love

    for each other will live on forever.

    Sending you a big hug.

      With Love Lucylee. XXXX

    Hi Midge, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my husband, my best friend and soulmate 10 weeks ago to pancreatic cancer. I didnt get a chance to say goodbye....I know that devasting lonely feeling...that emptiness that no-one can fill. Like you I want to be with him, but know its not yet my time. I strongly believe we will be together again one day. I've given up on thinking of the future, I just take an hour at a time at the moment, I hate the sunami of emotions that keep coming.....they are so alien to me, but I WILL be strong and get through this, because I know thats what he would have wanted. I've found chatting to other bereaved people on this site helpful...there always seems to be someone available to talk to, even in the middle of the night, when I'm always at my lowest. Please contact me if you want to talk privately. One thing I can say is.....I know how you are feeling. Take care of yourself....Anita xx

    midgie, I am sorry fo ryour great sorrow and sadness. Try to be easy on yourself. It is a long hard road you are travelling. It is like being on a rollercoaster. Up one second, down the next. I am 31 weeks in and am still in complete turmoil.  I get on with my life (or a pale imitaion of my life) because I have no choice but I am not sure how.  I have just started to attend a breavement support group and am hoping that this will help in some way. I hope that you find the support group and this site help you through the difficult times until you find some peace. I understand some of how you are feeling but each of us grieves in our own way and no-one can ever truly know exactly how you feel  x x Patricia x x
