The grieving

Less than one minute read time.

I lost my hubby paul last september. I miss him so much. It haunts me more now of the terrible pain he suffered and his fight to stay alive then it did when we was living through it .

Is there anybody out there like me / Paul was 54 when he died. he had lung that spread to his bone cancer. In the end it was every where. he lived just a few days under a year from diagnosis.

It was the most dreadfull and sole destroying time of my life . Plus I nursed my dad who lived 6 months after being diagnosed on the same day as Paul

I never expected to be a widow at 54 ?

I just cant seem to get over the pain and cruelness of it

We had some lovely times together in that year but it all gets over shadowed by all this

    Hi Poppyanne,

    You have my deepest sympathy,at the loss in such a short space of time of two of the People you loved

    the most. I cant begin to understand how you managed to cope,with such loss and sadness. No point in telling you that as time goes on things will get easier. They wont,you will have to be strong. You will find a lot of friends on this sight who have gone through the same thing. We are here to help as much as we can to talk to try and understand how you feel. A place where you can come to when your feeling low. There will always be someone here to talk to. All the Best. May your Paul and your Dad

    Rest in Peace.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xxx

    Hi Poppyanna

    My husband died last November aged 57.  I thought I was to young to be widowed at 58 but life can be cruel and since coming on here and the Merry Widows website I realise that we are not alone.  All of this doesn't help though but be reassured that you can post on here and you will always receive love and hugs.

    Take care love Stacey xx

    Hi Poppyanna I too lost my husband after 18 months fighting Leukaemia. He died in Feb only 5 months ago but it feels like a lifetime ago. I am assured that it will get easier only I don't know when.

    Thinking of you

    Love Teri
