How does one move on? How does one not dishonor a life of love and caring? I wish I had answers, where all I have are questions and self doubt. Thanks for all the posts here, some are very enlightening.

I am riding a small (not unexpected) grief wave today. Twelve years ago, I sat alone, staring up at a "Mount Everest" of tasks armed only with a widow's tiny spoon to dig with. I greatly worried that, if death could steal one as full of life as my ...

In a few days, I’ll have reached my 1 year mark being labeled a widow. How did you manage to get through your first year as a widow/er? How long has it been for you? What significant life changes have you made since losing your spouse? Any words of...

My husband of 36 years died on August 17th of 2017. Laryngeal cancer. It was a fucking nightmare. His suffering was beyond description. I took care of him. Yes I had hospice visiting, but I took care of him. Every medication, injections, feeding, ...

Friday the 13th, June, 1952 Dorothy and I were married in Fort Wayne Indiana. In June 2018, we missed our 66th anniversary when Dorothy passed away in March, 2018. Junes and Friday the 13ths are difficult times for me.

As the third anniversary of my wife's death approaches, I find it difficult to engage with death. How do others deal with talking about death in general and the loss of a life partner around the time of your anniversary?

Well, on my travels I've had mixed responses to my grief and widowhood, I think I need to share the best of the worst though. A female 'friend' asked how long I was going to hold a candle for Jock and told me that perhaps I should go out and have ...

It is no special day, nothing interesting happened, it is no anniversary of anything. Tonight the veil between going insane with the painful waves of grief and staying sane and reasonable are very thin. It's so hard to breathe. 08-17-17

My Mom died today. My Dad is now a widower. He said she was his purpose. Everything he did was to take care of her. Especially towards the end as her health was slowly declining. They were married 40 years. Yes, I'm hurting but to see him breaks my ...

Today (and for the second time since he died), I washed and packed all of my husband's clothes to take to the local thrift store. This time I made a point to put them in the car so I wouldn't be tempted once again to keep them. But I'm just a ...
