• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

It's 8 weeks today that I lost my husband of 48 years. I have tried so hard to trust that God is going to get me through this. He has shown Himself to me in different ways, and I recognize it. I am just so weak in my faith it's hard for me to hang on to the comfort. Please just pray that I will not get stuck in this weak, sad, despair.

Please God, be with me through this. Give me lasting peace that you will be with me and show me the path you want me to take. I am so scared of being alone without my husband. Lord, you said you would be a husband to the widow. I need you Lord.

Please pray for me.

You're doing the right things, grieving and depending on God. Don't push yourself. Don't say to yourself "I should be X by now" don't let anyone else tell you that either. You'll get where you need to be when you get there. Keep leaning on God. Tomorrow my husband of 25 years and I will be divorced a year, I didn't think I could feel that bad and still live - yes, God saw me through it and is still seeing me through it.
I'm so sorry for your loss and I wish I could do something to ease your pain.
