Moira, I can relate to how you are feeling, I lost my husband 8 years ago! You have to trust that God called him home and the Lord makes no mistakes... this is a one day at a time journey, you have to hold on to all the good memories the Lord allowed you to have with your husband, you will find peace in your memories and also the Lord said...Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27 I pray that God keeps you in His embrace and comforts your heart like only He can! May God bless you!!

Hello and my condolences. I too have lost my husband tragically and know your pain all too well. It has been almost years now but feels like yesterday. My best comfort was keeping busy. I found things that I enjoyed doing and dove in to those to keep my mind from driving me crazy. The harsh reality is that we can not reverse what is done so we have to learn how to live with it. I will never get over my husband or the loss but I have learned that i can not change it so I better learn to live with it. My prayers are with you. God bless

Hugs! I am also a widow and understand your pain. Lifting you up in my prayers that you find comfort and peace.

I think you are being too hard on yourself. When my husband dies 8 years ago from cancer. I didn't see colors in the world for about 2 years. I was literally like a zombie. I got fussed at so much with people telling me I was letting things go on for so long and taking it so hard. I'm not mad at anyone, because I know they had good intentions. I started drinking quite a bit to numb my pain. BTW, that's not a good idea! Everyone grieves differently. Everyone grieves for different times. I am still sad, and I talk to Him everyday, hoping he can hear me.
I didn't climb out of the hole for 5 years. Yes it was that long before I even wanted to keep living. UP until that time I was just existing because I wouldn't die! Thankfully I didn't' go past just thinking of suicide. The Holy comforted me and reminded me that my life was not my own to take. Jesus paid for me the price of shedding His blood on the cross. Do what you need to do just get through one more minute, one hour, one day...….. etc. Don't expect anything out of yourself for as long a it takes. Sending hugs and positive prayers!

Praying for you and sending love. I lost my boyfriend of 12 years on October 4th and I am in pain every moment of every day. I have to force myself to do the simplest things but I know not doing them makes everything worse. I try to hope that one day the pain will be more manageable but I honestly do not see how that can happen. I know that the only answer is trusting in God and His plan. it is not at all an easy thing for me to do anymore but I know that God understands and I know He is not going anywhere. He loves us with a great love and He will walk with us through our pain. I know we have to hold on to that.

I am terribly sorry for your loss. Please know that your husband is by your side everyday. Talk to him. If you open up your senses, and ask for some communication back. Wait for it. It will come in a way that will make you feel his connection to you. When I lost my first husband I talked to him all the time. I could feel his energy. I knew I was not alone. If you are open to this, he will find a way to get some sort of sign to you. Ask him to let you know he is ok. Ask God to show you how to receive, and if you are close to God it will be done. For God loves you. I have had many surprises from the spirit world because I stay in constant contact. Believe, have faith, God ames to please his faithful and actively faithful friends. God just came to my aide yesterday over something troubling me. When God loves us, he is ecstatic to let us know. Keep him close. Your faith in him will bring you many gifts, for he loves and needs you to interact and believe. Thanks be to God!

Moira,I am so sorry for your loss,i am so very glad that when Christ Jesus went to be with the Father that he sent the comforter to be with us & that he is there with you now,just reach out to him,amen.

I lost my husband of almost 40 years on St. Patrick's day 2yrs ago. I found a wonderful group called GriefShare in my church. I've gone through it twice seems plain on going again. You are in good company with other wives of loss. God blues you sweat one. It will get less painful over time and Willie Nelson wrote al song that says "Its not something you get over, it's something you go through". True words, everyone, true words.

Honey, I've been through it TWICE, and I am only 48!!! My past experience just occurred a year and nine months ago. The first was 11 years ago. You will never get over it; you just have to go through the grieving processes. LOTS of prayer from friends and family is the only way I made it.!!

Thinking and praying for you Moira🙏🏼

Focus on the Lord,Focus on His Cross. More hours of meditation and rigorous prayer will draw solace closer,God is your solace in sorrow.

Let us Pray:
Lord before we came to be you planned our way through, Grant that your child, your beloved daughter, may come to know that its all taken care of. Everyday is counted, everything set for her own good. May confidence fill her soul to know in you there is everything she will ever need. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.

Prayers your way, may God give you the strength to keep going.

I lost my husband in 2018 from cancer. We were married for 48 years. This March would of been 50 years. I miss him so much every day , and have melt downs from different thoughts, songs , and places we use to go to.

On 9 February it will be 18 years that I lost the love of my life in a car accident. leaving me with nothing bur memories and a 2 year old son. With the help of the Lord I got by. I pray to our Father that He may take you in his loving arms and heal the wounds that are still so very fresh.

I have been were you are. The tenth of this month will be 2 years since my husband committed suicide. Hold on and keep leaning on God. Grief comes in waves. I will keep you lifted in prayer. I am so sorry for your loss.

I remember the pain when I lost my Mom right before Christmas 2017. I was inconsolable. I pray that you find peace in your heart to have a good happier life like our lost loved ones want you too. Join the FB group "Proof of life after Death" it got me through the pain of losing my Mom. Hugs

I lost my husband 1.5 months ago & am also feeling lost & even guilty. I am needing to rely on others like never before & am seeking to find group activities to push me through such moments.

There are no words to describe the depth of pain with grief . It can leave us paralyzed. Be gentle with yourself. You don't need self incrimination. You're doing the best you can. Stay away from people who offer a quick fix. They are empty words. I pray for an extra measure of faith to fight off depression or hopelessness. Lord please open doors that bring empathetic people and distractions. Please send ministering angels and the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Hang on. The good shepherd will find you.

Widowhood is a big crack in the foundation formally known as your life. I was widowed due to tragedy and all I knew was shock, pain, confusion. Are some of these familiar with you?
So, pray I will for the blessing of peace and strength. Healing of pain for you.
It's been 16 years and my life is wonderful; Thanks be to God! I pray the same for you.
All will be well and all matter of things will be well.
