First Easter without my husband

[grace2014]

Easter is about the resurrection of my Savior and I celebrate today but I miss my husband so much. It's been 3 months since his passing but it still feels like yesterday. My support group of family and friends is dwindling as they move on with their lives. My son lives with me but he doesn't like talking about his dad because it's hard for him and he's trying to move on with his life. My daughter and son in law have been spending the nights here but are slowing trying to get me use to their move back home. They now spend a couple of nights at their place. I know they need to get on with their lives but it's so hard because everyone is moving on with their life except me. Being married to the love of my life for 37 years is not an easy thing to let go of. God is with me always but I still miss my husband. I miss doing life with him. I just need to tell someone. Thanks for listening.

I don't have the words you might need at this time... but I'll sure pray for you.

I'm so sorry for your loss, the holidays can make that kind of grief worse. I remember I lost my brother just before Thanksgiving. His wife and kids were in town for the funeral so I had to cook dinner but the stove went out. Well, I had to get another stove from the other side of the double. As I'm dragging thing thing through the leaves in the dark I was trying to think of something to be thankful for, well I thought, at least it's not the refrigerator. The little joke helped a little but I still think about the days following the funeral every Thanksgiving.

17 years, that's a lot of time to spend with someone your in love with to lose them. My heart goes out to you, we live in hope and the anxious expectation of the soon return of our Savior, to join those who went before us.

Grace and peace,
Mark

Grace... I knew a woman that was a grandmother. Had SO MUCH power of God.. she prayed 4+hours a day.. was a mother to me. When her husband passed she said to me one day.. Danny the lord told me I will be your husband...He knows the lose and the pain.. and He is the ONLY one that can fill it. I do not know this kind of lose nor can I imagine.

Allow Him to fill all those missing areas...praying for you..

Mine passed in 2005. I still miss him! When it was only a few months, I missed him much more, so I do understand. I sent you HUGS and prayers. When others are moving on, it is a good idea to be with other widows who understand (widowers too). Is there a support group in your area for them?

Thank you for (listening)reading and praying for me. That means a lot to me.

I'm not sure if I'm using this forum correctly, but when I click on "Reply" to the person who commented on my thread it lumps together all my replies.

Blade, I need filling of the Holy Spirit quite often. I can feel God's peace then a short while later I'm empty again. Thank you for praying.

Spirit song, it helps to know that someone has been through this and understands. There is a group but I haven't tried it yet. Thank you for your hugs and prayers.

 

[SpiritSong]

Feel free to PM me if you need. If that is more comfortable than going to a group. Yes, another widow is the only one who can understand best.
