Hello Carol,
thank you for posting. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm pleased that your husband found the forum useful and hope that you continue to post and find comfort with us.
Lots of love

I'm glad you have family and friends around you Carol. My sister lost her husband very suddenly and unexpectedly at just slightly younger trhan you and neither her nor we knew how we were going to possibly cope with this thing-it just didn't seem possible that we could ever be 'normal' again.
She didn't know how she was going to make it through the next hour, never mind days, weeks, months.
That was over ten years ago and she and we DID make it through. Even now she can be moved to tears by something, a memory, music, plants etc. but she has found happiness again and now has a new partner which she never ever thought could possibly happen.
There is an end to what you are going through right now but I know that you will find that impossible to believe. The important thing for you all now is to allow yourselves time to grieve for however long it takes and in whatever way it takes.
My sister began to write all her memories of Michael down in a book because she was afraid she would forget-little things like how he stirred his tea etc!
She also used to drive herself somewhere and just scream loudly at the top of her voice. That was her way to get through it and it helped.
We're here for you if you need to offload.

Hi Carol
Like a lot of others your post brought me to tears too. I've been married to my hubby for 32 years and i do not know what I would do without him. I like some of the other members look to see who is on-line and did see his name sometimes. please keep on reading & posting, tell us about him, And yourself of course. Thank you for thinking of us. So so sorry for your loss.

Dear Carol,

like many others your post moved me to tears, it's obvious what a wonderful man Pete was. My sincere condolences are with you and the family at what must be a terrible time.

I know from losing a loved one that you'll always carry them in your heart and nothing can change that.

Please keep posting Carol, there's a wonderful bunch of folks here who would only be too happy help any way we can.

My thoughts are with you and your family

Best wishes

Jo.

I certainly will, Carol.

Dear Carol

I have only just read your post, what a brave and caring person you are. I'm so sorry to hear of your husband's death, it must be so hard to bear, I know I would feel the same after being married for 45 years. Please carry on posting on here, it may help and give you a little bit of comfort in your darkest hours.

Dear Carol, so sorry you are awake in the night and feeling so very low. I know what you mean about Bank Hols. Just wanted to send you a 'thinking of you-hug' and hope that you managed to get back to sleep. You're in my thoughts today. Hoping it won't be too painful and that some of the lovely memories come back to comfort you a little. Much love XX Ailsa

Carol, what you are going through now is perfectly normal at this stage in your grieving. The more you can cry now the better you will be in so many years from now.

My sister used to say that she never realized people had so many tears in them and that there couldn't possibly be any more. It is still VERY early days for you, I'm so glad that you felt you could come on here and write your feelings down {{{HUGS}}}
