Hello everyone! I lost my husband to cancer 5 years ago and im still a mess. I don't have any close friends who are in my situation. I never realized, or even thought of, the far ranging effects of losing a loved one would have.

Does anyone else dream significantly about their lost loved one? I had someone tell me that so much of the healing that you experience will come from your dreams. Has anyone had a dream (s) that helped you in some way in your grieving process?

I somehow find myself with no one to talk to. My stressful girlfriend is gone, my family is indifferent and I was never fond of Kim's family. My daughter is there, but I don't want to unload on her. I so wish to talk to my wife. We were best ...

Hi. I admit, I am not a widow. I joined your group because I have a question about my own grief. My father died a few days ago. The rest of my family are all Christian and believe my father is in a better place. I politely kept my mouth shut. my...

I haven’t been able to purge my husband’s closet yet because it’s full of nothing but triggers, but I had no idea that purging the kitchen would be this horrendous. I refuse to give up though and am getting ready to dig in again. If I melt ...

Is wrong to try to find love again. I want to fill the void that I feel. What's too soon?

I’m new. I lost my husband 12/27/17 after nearly 38 years. I miss him so much but I find I’m doing better than I thought I would. I think we did a good job of making sure we left nothing unsaid. But I do miss having smart conversation.

Last week would have been my 45th wedding anniversary. Last Wed. My girlfriend was diagnosed with cancer of the trachea. Next week will be the one year anniversary of my wife's death. I have become uncomfortably numb.

So...I seem to have these odd forgetful moments. Let me explain; when I'm out and about, perhaps live music, or brews with friends, when coming home, I'm like...Oh I can't wait to tell Kim about this! Then I realize I can't, she's gone. It's a ...

What is a sign that makes you strongly believe your partner is visiting? Not sure if there are many believers but I am one. Mine is the Cardinal eating from my bird feeder//butterfly and dragonflies.

I never enjoyed being alone before marrying my first wife, with whom I spent 20 great years. I didn’t enjoy being alone after she died of breast cancer, so I remarried at 43. My second wife, also of twenty years, died five weeks ago, also from ...

We buried my wife this weekend. My sons came in from out of state and we held a virtual service for her. The virtual service was preferred due to COVID and because we have so many friends and relatives living in diverse places. It was very strange ...

It's been almost two years since my wife died. I still miss her, but I'm pretty much over the grief. The problem i'm having now is that there are VERY few single Agnostics/Atheist females in Boise, and I'm really tired of doing things by myself. I've...

I read or heard something that struck home. "My spouse is dead but I'm still married". Does anyone else relate to this?
