I am Kim.  My husband died in 2010. It was a rough year because we started that year with the birth of our daughter and wedding and it ended with his death in December.  I sought grief counseling to help me manage. Sometimes I just need to be among others who understand that it grief is a process.  Thank you for being such a responsive group and welcoming me in.

Robert,

Thank you.  I really love hearing your positive experience in this forum.

Welcome Kim, 

Glad you found us here.

I am so sorry you lost your husband just when you were starting your  family.  It is so unfair for you and your daughter.

I lost my husband in 2017 after 38 years of marriage. One of the things I continue to be sad about is that my husband never got to see our grandchildren and they never got to know him.

It's nice that we have people on this site who are in different places on this grief journey. 

I look forward hearing what has helped you through the past 12 years. Grief changes but I can't imagine that I will ever have a day I don't think of and miss my sweet husband.

Wow, that's a lot in one year!  Mine's been gone since Father's Day 2005, so you're similar to me, we moved heaven and earth to be married and 3 years 8 months later he was gone.

17 1/2 years now, I can't believe it, one day at a time, now I'm getting old...

Yep, these are the people that "get it" and I'm glad you're here, consider yourself home.  (((hugs)))

@Fullerlife welcome to this forum.   That sad that your husband died the same year your daughter got married.  @Gail 8588 your like me, my husband and I were married 38 years.

Hi Kim. I am new to this forum also. My husband died 4 weeks ago. It was unexpected and completely turned my life upside down. We were married for 23 years. This is by far the hardest thing I have ever had to endure.

Yes it is, I hope you'll keep coming here, I responded to you in the other thread so won't repeat myself but glad to have you here although I'm so sorry for the reason.

@Raelyn welcome to the forum.   I'm sorry for your loss.  Your right losing my husband was the hardest thing ever.  I will be praying for you and for all those who have lost anyone.  It's sad but this forum will help you.  It has really helped me.
