cdejac Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 My husband passed away from Stage IV Lung Cancer 5 weeks ago yesterday.. Is there anyone else out there that has been through this? I am having a difficult time. It's sort of a delayed reaction. Thanks, cdejac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ry Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Welcome to the site. Unfortunately I know how you feel. I lost my husband about 3 months ago. It's a lot to take in I know and the hardest part is the lonliness. Please PM me if you'd like -- welcome -- I am glad you found us.

teriw Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hello cdejac, I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my husband nearly 7 months ago. You can bet that whatever you're feeling, someone here can relate. Please come for support. You're very early days still. You must be feeling like you're on a roller coaster, or possibly still numb and in shock. Try not to expect too much from yourself. Ask for help from those around you -- sometimes people need to be asked specifically, because they just don't know what to do for you. Do you have family close or children at home? Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyW Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I am one of the vets at 2 years out for losing my wife. I can feel your pain all too well. 1 of the things that i did and still do aon bad days is this; Go outside at nite and under the stars talk to Your Hubby. You have to get it out of your body basically. Tell him how your day was. Tell him the dog had a boo boo on the carpet. Tell him you gota raise. Just talk to him like he is right next to you. Only thing is you have top look up because he is right ove ryou watching you and keeping an eye on you. That is also very important to rememeber. He is always with you. everywhere you go and in everything you do. Have that talk though. WHen you are done talking to him, talk to god. Scream yell fuss get mad, do whatever you feel like doing and however you feel like doing it. BUT you have to APOLOGIZE when you are done. Don't go to bed with god being mad at you. Do I sound Crazy???? Maybe I am but it helps me out in dealing with this. Neighbors hear and know and understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachnut Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I can say that I know how you feel as my husband passed away on November 13. It is definately a hard thing to go through. One minute I'm doing okay and the next I seem to be a basket case. I also go out at night and talk to my husband when I walk my dogs. I have read also to write them a letter and that helps too, but I've not done that yet. There is a wonderful website www.widownet.org and they have a wonderful message board. I don't have any magic pill to make it better but I did want to let you know you are not alone - there are others of us who are going through the same things. ((((Hugs to you)))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
