Might not be around for a while

[BobL]

My wife and soul mate (Amanda) of 46 years died suddenly on Sunday and I am pretty shattered. I have a son and daughter-in-law and two wonderfull grandkids, 9 siblings, 8 in-laws, 30 nieces and nephews, 21 great nieces and nephew, great neighbours and friends, but have never felt so alone. The house is full of Amanda's arts, crafts and nicknacks so the memories of her are very strong and at times over whelming. Eventually I hope to eventually get back to contribution to these forums.

Take all the time you need, grieve and heal! Losing your partner will happen to all of us and no one knows how it will affect us until it actually happens. Sounds like you have a large support group to help you navigate these troubled times, please don't be shy about utilizing them, I'm sure they are more than willing and able to lend a helping hand. Time will not fix all, but it will become more manageable,as you adjust. The guys here are always available round the clock to lend an ear, they've helped me through some pretty rough times here lately, it's what keeps me around!

Bob, my Sincerest Condolences

I can’t imagine what you must be feeling

My Wife and I have only been Married for 13 years, a fraction of the time you and Amanda shared.

A little over a year ago, my Wife Rae, had a terrible bout with Covid, she spent 3 nights in the hospital on oxygen. I drove her to the hospital, they met us at the ER doors, after I parked the car, they wouldn’t let me in with her.

I was home with Covid myself, I wasn’t allowed to visit her, only got limited, infrequent phone calls, I had no idea how long she would be in the hospital, or if she would ever come home. I can’t tell you, and am not ashamed to admit how many tears I shed, not knowing if I would ever see or hold her again, it was touch and go, even the doctors couldn’t tell me anything.

The thought of my life without her, left me with the Emptiest, Loneliest feelings I have ever felt, and likely will feel until her time truly does come

More than a year later, she is still on supplemental oxygen, but I have her home with me, and Cherish Every Day that we get Together

I am not very active on the Milling forum, but know what you contribute to it. My Heart goes out to you in this trying time. I know that you will never forget Amanda, and that you will Treasure the memories you two created and shared. May the Day that the ache in your Heart subsides to a more tolerable level, come sooner, rather than later

Broken heart syndrome is a real thing, spend as much time with friends and family members as possible.
My wife's brother passed away a month ago, 42 years old, it's been terrible for her and her parents, we've learned a lot about the grief process.
Sorry for your loss.

Bob,

Wishing you the best.

 

[TRTermite]

There isn't a good reply to give you, but I am sure you know the most of us are at a loss of words to give condolences for your loss.

Lost my soulmate in 1998 to cancer. The morning after she passed, I felt like I had awakened on a different planet. Time passes slowly at first after something like this but I bet you’ll get thru. Hopefully before you know it.
Go Bless You.
