Members Pastors widow Posted February 3, 2014 Members Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hi! This is my first post. Hope it makes sense. My husband of 31 years died unexpectedly 18 months ago. We got married when I was just 18. We grew up together, had kids together, loved and laughed and argued and cried together. He was my life! Now people think that I should not think about my loss. But I don't know how to do this life. How do I just exist, let alone deal with life. I don't know how to do so many things. My husband did so much for me. How do I do all these things I don't know how to do when it takes almost everything just to get up each morning and go to work and live each day? How do I do life?

Members ModKonnie Posted February 4, 2014 Members Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Pastor's wife,I am so very sorry about your loss. You get through a little at a time, but by bit. There are many people here who have experienced similar losses. They can offer you support and encouragement. I am going to move your post to the "Loss of a Partner" forum (just scroll down the page a little bit until you see the title and then click on it), where you will meet others who have lost their soul mates. We will be here for you.ModKonnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lost&alone Posted February 4, 2014 Members Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I lost my husband of 30 years about 1 month ago. I have some of the same feelings, there is so much that I don't know how to do because I never had to do it. Right now I just get by by living "in the moment." If I think ahead, even something as trivial as what to cook for supper, I get overwhelmed. I don't have any advice for you, I just wanted to say I am sorry for your loss. I hope someone here can offer some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sophia12 Posted February 4, 2014 Members Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 It is tough and I am trying to figure out how to do life too! My husband just passed a week and a few days ago so right now I am taking it one day at a time. I plan to get some counseling and surround myself with people as often as I can, but also have some alone time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
