I am not certain if I am writing in the correct place or not. My husband passed away on March 10, 2026. Yes I have the support of family, and I try to fill my days with meaningful things, trying to give purpose to my life. I don’t driver, am 81 years old, have no friends (moved here recently), grandchildren are busy with jobs, annd I use a walker etc. I see a therapist, realize each person’s grief is different. I religiously do daily exercises for my physical, mental, and emotional health. I journal and talk to him.  Cognitively, I am pretty sharp and when given the chance I go out either with children or companion. However, when it comes down to reality…..I am alone. A large part of me was ripped away with him. We were married for 57 years and operated as one unit and nothing will fill the void. I welcome your comments and feeling I am part of a group with similar experiences. Right now it just seems that the pain will never stop. Thank you.

Feeling lonely, scared, confused, and devastated, all I can do is take it one moment at a time. 

[SummerOnTheWay1]

[6/1/26] Dear Monique @monique1112 , we are ALWAYS here for you dear friend!!!

WE ALL get lonely at times. Some have become "volunteers". Some have made plans to do things with family & friends.

What is scaring you?

Confusion & devastation does happen and taking 1 step at a time has helped me.

NOT an "easy" journey, but one Group Members have SUPPORTED each other on.

SO GLAD you stopped by & hope you you will AGAIN.

Luv,

Nicole  🤗🤗🤗 (Grief Forum)

Hey,Nicole!  I have thought about you so many times over the last few weeks. I hope that this message finds you well. Jim and I have been dealing with a lot as usual. The local news were looking into why the man that caused the accident that killed our granddaughter ,Brea, and injured several others has still not been identified and charged with anything. The only new thing was that the police and DA for the county are trying to figure out what to charge him with. It is so ridiculous. It has been so many weeks, actually going on months. No one understands what the hold up is. So, our family and friends are still dealing with the aftermath of that terrible accident, and other bad things are always happening. 2 of our grandsons had the flu. Our granddaughter, Scarlett, is getting over having strep throat. Stewie was sick and had the runs for a couple weeks. Then, last night, I started feeling real sick. I was throwing up and had to keep going to the bathroom. I chugged down so much Pepto Bismol. I feel much better this morning. Life, it is always something, and too often, it is too many bad things. I try so hard to be positive. As you, I, and so many people on here know, some days, it seems impossible. But,  I am glad that the weather has been sunny and warm. The flowers are blooming. We have family and friends. We have a place to live, food to eat, and enough money to pay the bills. So, we are doing a lot better than a lot of people. I am glad to hear from you,  Nicole!  Much love and so many hugs to you and Mister from me and my Crew!  Take Care and God Bless, us,and everyone! 🙏🙂🐈😺🐱😸😻

[6/2/26] Dear Michelle @MichelleC103656 , SO GLAD to hear from you dear friend. 👍🙃💃

Geez, what is WRONG with our Justice System??? Goodness, he KILLED & INJURED!!!

I maybe wrong, but with all the LAWSUITS these days, it seems states are SCARED to "lock" them up.

Then when they do get locked up, living a life of ease.

Just read where a prisoner had a SCAM going on. Took thousands via Identity Theft.

My question, how did this happen???

Then he breaks out of jail & nowhere to be found.

Again SO SORRY for your losses. And yes we have all those things you mention but we still MISS THEM EVERY DAY.

Mister is outside somewhere being his own man. I try NOT to "think" of one day either I or he will die 1st. Hard after so much loss.

Working on 1 step at a time. Yes, sometimes that step is EASY. Other times NOT & I stay in bed in tears.

On a GOOD note, finally after 7 MONTHS of 1st car needing a Head Gasket to breaking my ankle = I "is" back on the road AGAIN since May 14th.

Stress & grief will do a number on you so please be "gentle" with yourself.

Lol, with Stewie, he probably got into something outside!!! Between him & Mister (BOTH luv outside) - I don't know how we survive & NOT worry ourselves to death over them. With Mister, we have a LONE Coyote (thought it was a dog) that trots through here EVERY night at 10pm. I try to keep my "little" rebel in, but now that SPRING is here - NOT working.

Luv to you, Jim, Bristol 🐈, Stewie 🐈and Nova 🐈.

Nicole  💛🤗

Yes,the legal system is a joke. New York is completely and totally ridiculous. I have seen on the news about some people being arrested 60 times and are still walking free. I wish that more states were like California, 3 strikes and you are locked up for the rest of your life. Here in New York,  the most crimes are still teenagers stealing cars and  crashing them, and drunk drivers. The courts just keep releasing them. A police officer was killed by a teenager running a stop sign. The police, judge, and DA somehow said that the boy couldn't be charged with anything. How can that be?  He killed someone. I am constantly let confused and wondering what has happened to the world. I just don't know. I am so glad and happy that you have a car and are able to get out of your apartment. A vehicle is freedom and a wonderful part of life. I am very glad that you and Mister are doing well. We have to watch out for so many different kinds of wild animals here,too. We make the cats come in earlier than usual. Stewie did get into some plants, lilies. He was chewing on the leaves. He has been on a couple different medications. We are lucky that it wasn't worse. He was trying to catch a big squirrel a few minutes ago. It was trying to bury a walnut in one of our potted plants. They have done that too many times and have even broken some of our pots. Someone was knocking on the front door. It was the mailman. We had an Amazon package, some Gain, and new tags for the cats. They are from Crumb. It is a new network and way to track your cats and dogs when they get lost. The first one was free. We have to add the app and get them all set up to keep the kitty cats safe. Okay,I had better get going. It is always wonderful to receive your messages, Nicole. I am very happy that you and Mister are doing better. Hugs and Luv to you and yours from me and the Crew! Thank you so much for your kind words and support. Talk to you again, real soon! 🙂🐈🤗🐱😸😻😺

[SummerOnTheWay1]

[6/2/26] Michelle @MichelleC103656 , I am glad I am old and will be gone soon. My heart just could NOT take too much more of the way society is now.

I stay in Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays. And go out when EVERYONE is "hopefully" working and NOT "riding" my bumper. Here in Virginia we have alot of mountains & 2-lane roads. I use to ENJOY driving, but as I AGE, I am over it. I now go out "as needed". Over the years, EVERY accident I had - someone ran into my bumper. Yes, NOT "paying" attention. I use to listen to my radio, tapes as a youngster while driving. NOT anymore. I need to drive for myself & the other driver. Lol, even IF I have the right a way, I will NOT push for it = I let the bully have it. I luv being "alive" in these AWFUL times of road rage killing people.

I will check on you AGAIN for our "next" WELLNESS Check for our group on July 1st.

Nicole  💛🤗

Oh Nicole, I know what mean. Jim and I talk about it all the time. We miss the way things used to be. We miss the "old" world. We miss better and simpler times. At least we knew a better world. Some people never will. Bye for now, until another day and time!🙂😻🤗🐱😺

 Hi my name is Marian. My husband, Gary, died two months ago. I do like to talk about his death as it helps me process it. I lost my first husband 2009. Married Gary in 2016. What a life I have had. I’m not bitter or mad. I’m just lonely. 😏

[MarianS446683]

Thank you. So nice to have others thinking of my loss. My first husband died in 2009. Many of my family members abandoned me as they didn’t like my second husband. Now that my second husband died I hear from 3 out of 12 brothers and sisters. It sure is hard to learn how to live alone and not hear from some of my own siblings. But life goes on and my own children are wonderful. 

[SummerOnTheWay1]

[7/1/26] It is SO GOOD to hear from you Marian @MarianS446683 !!!

Yes, I know what you mean.

It took my mom passing for me and my two wonderful brothers to have a "chance" to DEVELOP a "healthy" relationship. Years of being the " black sheep" because I lived life MY WAY.

And YES, my "precious" only child is my bestie. We BOTH "miss" her father, but are LEARNING to "move" forward.

Sounds like things are "falling" in place for you dear friend.

Luv,

Nicole 🤗🤗🤗 (Grief Forum)
