I lost my husband who turned 33 years old on April 1st. He passed away on April 6th and our 5th year ann. was suppose to be on May 15th. I miss him so much and feel so alone. everyone was here during the first two weeks now everyone has gone back to their families and loved ones and i cant. I am looking to talk to other young widows to know i'm not alone in this at 30 years old. The wound is so fresh and hurts so much. I feel very lost and all my dreams feel crushed. He was a believer in Christ and i still am because it seems to be the only thing that keeps me going. Would love to talk to others. |

dear goodspirits, Though I am not as young as you, I too lost my husband of nearly 34 years in April 2004. He was buried the day before our 34th anniversary and this was hard. He was 54 years old and I will be 53 this summer. I am fortunate in that I have 2 grown children who live close and also 2 granddaughters 2 1/2 and 3 months who keep me entertained. The biggest thing I miss is that after all these years, I don't have my best friend here to tell the funny things that happened, or to gossip with. We had the same sense of humor and could laugh about anything. My kids have been great but it is not the same. Keep your chin up, try to keep busy, and most of all treasure your memories. I have started doing a little bit of journaling and that has helped me just to know that I have my memories wrote down and am not worried that they will slip away too. Also my daughter is a scrapbooker and she is working on a book for me of our life together and that has been a help to go through old pictures and see the layouts that she creates. I have no talent in that area so it is great that she does. Hope this helps you. I know how hard it is but you can't let it get you down. You are way too young to do that. Let me hear from you if you would like. Maybe we can keep each other sane. LOL.

I can sympathize with you 100%. I am only 31 years old and lost my husband right before what would have been our 3rd anniversary he was only 34. I would like to tell you it will get easier b
