it will be 1 month for me on saturday. I am sick of the up and down. I look at his picture and I cant believe he's somewhere else. I have no choice but to move on yet I am angry that I have to move on. Sometimes I walk around with 'my husband has just died' playing over and over in my head as if to convince me.
I am not sure how to play this one. We melted our rings down and he designed a new one for me to wear. I am now wearing it on my right finger. I guess I'm not married anymore and I need to make that transition. Do you think I was too early? I'm not looking to re-marry just re-adjust to my new life. God sees me as single and so does the govenment so i better get used to singledom.
I cant really offer you comfort because you're where I will be in 8 weeks. I guess all I can say is Jesus promised to be our husband so I guess we have to learn what that means.
I feel so...lost, without purpose like I havent found my reason for living yet. But I do have hope in Jesus and He is my reason for living.
I will pray for you, that you find joy in everything you do and that God shows you what it is thats so important for you to do that he left you here on earth. His purpose for you. take care and heaps of blessings

The first two months were awful. The doctor put me on a mild anti depressant after the second month. It helps but it still lets me grieve.
I still cry alot but I can get through the day without going into extreme panic attacks.

My husband had pancreatic cancer and died three months after being diagnosed. We thought he had more time. He was on a clinical trial and the tumor had shrunk by half. He was between a stage two and a stage three when he was diagnosed in April. They said he would live a year with the standard treatment which shrinks the tumor by about 20%. His shrunk by 50% but his liver stopped working and caused verices which ruptured and bled.

I will pray for you. Knowing I will see him in Heaven because he was saved makes me able to cope. God is good, he gave me 40 years with my husband. We also have 4 grown children and granchildren. He was 61 and in great health before he got the cancer. I am 56 and will never marry again beccause he is my only husband. I wear my weddings rings on my right hand. I wear his wedding band on my left. I will fill my life with family and the lords work.. My husband said before he died that the only thing that matters in life is what you have done for the lord.

God Bless You

Brendan had melanoma cancer. It came back Oct 07 then he was diagnosed terminal this April. It wen straight to his back and paralysed him by August and he was dead by October 2nd. It was just so fast!
He didnt love the Lord until August. It was just beautiful to see him praying and singing to God. I know he is up there. He was 46. I am 43.
We have a 21 yr old son who is coping well.
I am surrounding myself with volunteer work at church. There is so much need in the community that while I'm not working I shall do it.
Thank you for posting. I am so sorry that you are going through this pain.
Take care!

I am doing a little better today. I went to the cemetary which makes me feel better. I know he is in Heaven but I feel like I can reflect when I am there. I have my ups and downs also. I miss being able to talk to him and feel his touch. He is much happier in Heaven but I feel a little selfish because I want him to be with me. He would not want me to be sad, he told me this. I found a note when I was at my lowest that he had written to me when I was sick. It told me how much it hurt him when I didn,t feel well. I keep the note with me so when I am low, I can read it. It helps. I know I will see him soon because I think the lord will be coming sooner than we realize. I will keep you in my prayers. It is helpful talking to someone who has been through the same thing.

God bless you :pray:
