John was my soul-mate as well as husband, friend, lover,companion, everything! He died April 10, 2008. I've been to grief counseling but it hasn't helped. My heart is broken in a million pieces. I feel guilty because my little dachshund is grieving too. I take him for long walks daily and it seems to help at the time. We were uprooted three days after John's death by my kids. They brought me from my home in New Mexico to Washington State near my daughter. He died in our bed suddenly. I am so lonely. First it was shock, now it is the reality I want to belong to a group of people who can relate and empathize. If we share our experience, strength and hope I think we can begin to heal. Please, can you help? Do you have any ideas about my dog, Stinger. Most of the time he seems so unhappy. He also lost his companion, Columbo, John's dog. Thank you, Lost
Alone
I lost my husband 3 days after Christmas and then my mom 2 1/2 weeks later. My world is so upside down and some days all I do is cry. My husband died peacefully in his sleep after a long long time of being ill, so I'm thankful that his suffering is over but now what? It wasn't supposed to happen this way, we were supposed to grow old together, we were suppose to be at our sons graduation together. I just don't know what to do with myself. I can't pack away his things because it's too painful.
Your feeling Lost . . .
Losing your soulmate is one of the, if not the, most difficult experiences to go through so I think all of the feelings and emotions you are going through are actually quite normal. To believe that these feelings will disappear is not being truthful or realistic either. The hurt will continue by I can tell you it will lessen as time passes and that is what you need. But working through the hard times now, including the periods of really missing him, are a part of it. I am glad that you want to 'belong' to a group that can help you through this and can share similar experiences, all difficult, with you. I understand about your dog too! It is strange sometimes but it's that they know too and go through their own process too. It's just great that Stinger still has you. Enjoy the times, enjoy the memories and never forget.
