Hi everyone. Eric passed away at home on November 8. Five days after his 55 birthday. It was not one of the deaths where he just went to sleep. It was terrible. I hope some day I will be able to get it out of my mind. I know he is in a better place but I miss him so much. I have had company from  day until yesterday and that helped but now reality is here. I have been busy dealing with the bank and other things. He made it easy for me. Everything has been going smooth  I walk away saying that was easy. I feel bad because I did not want him to suffer but I miss him so much.. This is the part of life that really sucks.

(((April)))

Yes this is the part of life that really sucks.  I'm glad that all the bank and other things are going smoothly for you.  The time without company will probably be when you feel your sorry and pain the most.  Do not hold back on any of those feelings but let them out and allow yourself to grieve and mourn the loss of your dear husband.  You may want to find a support group if it helps you to be with others .... you'll know if and when that's right for you.  In the meantime keep posting here.  We're that set of ears that will listen and those shoulders to cry on without any judgement.  

be good to you - Razz

Ahhh April 01, I am so sorry to hear of your huge loss, your soul mate :(  Yes it is the most difficult time especially when you loved each other so very much!!!  A suggestion - writing him a letter. might help with the emotions the feelings, just a suggestion, I did that with my mom, wrote to her like she was still here, I never read them again., I put all my heart felt emotions in them but to nevr read them again but burned them and while burning them in back yard in a steel pail I was thinking the smoke from all that heart felt emotions was going up to creator & to her - made me feel a bit better...just a suggestion only.

I am sending you love and light & a huge huge hug Apirl 01!!!  I so do hope you do keep coming and sharing with us - if this helps at all.  Please know I do not say this to upset you but the love you two share does not go anywhere for he still loves you as much from the other side, love knows no boundaries.  My mom shared that with me in a dream - pay attention to your dreams too - k.

Not now but when you feel like you are able too I do think a group in your area that is a good thing., we have one in the next city it's called an after life group., people from all walks of life who have lost a loved one, some a month or two, others 1, 2 or 3 years.  It is a coming together, only when you fell ready to do so though.

Take care of your precious self and try and rest  & eat - I know that must be hard to do too at this time.  hugs  We are here for you too

Hello April01, Marymary and Razz
Marymary - you will be having a birthday soon - thanks to you April01 I remember it:)

Razz have not talked with you in a while - wondering if you have needed to deploy your oxygen mask - as you alluded to in an earlier post - I know you have had lots on your plate.  

April01 its only been a few short months since Eric died. For me the sadness and grief got stronger a month or so after my husband died. And it can happen at such unexpected times. I stopped wearing eye make up for awhile because I knew it would probably run. Are you finding people in your family and friend circle who are able to support you?

Take care you 3
Katherine
