• 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.

I can understand how hard this must be for you. You are grieving. The death of a relationship can almost be as hard as the death of a spouse. Just be gentle with yourself and take things a day/hour/minute at a time. I found that prayer really helped me after my darling Bonnie passed away.

I'll be praying for you.

God Bless,

Wayne

I wish I knew why it is so hard to say goodbye. I am watching and caring for my husband of 23 years die of heart failure and severe Dementia. His nervus system breaking down puts him in such pain. I want his pain to end, but I don't want him to leave me by his death:confused: It hurts so bad.:cry: I know your pain. My only comfort are the people :holy: :holy: around me who are praying for us and being such a wonderful help in caring for my Bill. Knowing your not alone n your grief is also a small comfort. My head knows that God's grace with me. But my achng heart hasn't caught up.:help:

Lindy, I understand what you're going through. I lost my Bonnie to ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) last December. Even though I'm an RN (now retired), I had a difficult time watching my soulmate gradually lose all use of her body, and she was in a great amount of pain as well. When she passed, it was quite sudden and unexpected; I thought we had at least a few more years together.

As much as I miss her and wish I could still be with her, I would never want her to have to come back in the condition she was in when she left. I believe the Lord was merciful towards her and allowed her to come Home when she did. It didn't make the pain of losing her any less, but when I think about how she was when she passed, basically a prisoner in her own body, and how she is now in the presence of our Lord, I can only be happy for her despite the fact that my heart remains broken.

I thank the Lord for carrying me through these past 8 1/2 months; I don't think I could have survived if I hadn’t had the Lord in my life and the privilege of going to Him in prayer.

I’ll be keeping you in my prayers.

God Bless,

Wayne
