prayers for all involved, man
so very sorry

That sounds rough. You made my eyes tear up a little.

Hang in there Hoova. Selling the house was the right decision. You have to keep going. Fond memories and no regrets.

You’ve got to do what you feel is best for you. You will unfortunately get over it, but with gods help will get past it.

You have to be strong, and fight through it all. Find your inner strength, and at the same time live outside yourself in a since. Think of the added heartache, and pain it would cause all of those around you if you were not here anymore!!

I’ve lost a lot of family/people very close to me in untimely, and in the worst ways.Two children in the 3rd trimester after seeing them on the fancy new sonagrams. I saw the faces of two of my children through technology, however never saw them, held them, or was able to love them the way I wanted to.

The grief process is different for everyone, and I’m no expert, but at the same time there is no expert, as everyone’s different.

Their way to love, feel, emotions, personal beliefs, and so on makes it impossible.

I just pray you find some comfort, and peace!!

Never give up!!

I haven’t even been able to properly grief over her.

So sorry for your loss…this part of your post is profound to me and as a single man I had this same situation when my Mom passed. I FIRMLY believe to properly grieve for an immediate family member, you need a significant other type, a contemporary type you are close to where you can go behind a closed door and let it out without holding back. By definition you lost the very person you need in this capacity to grieve.

I know exactly how you feel in that regard. To this date I never feel like I ever sat down and let it out, drain the grief so to say. It does make a difference! You have my sympathy and prayers! Best wishes to you!

Can't imagine. I lost my Dad (he was 89 and healthy) last May, He drowned in his hot tub after mowing the yard. We sold the hot tub and it still hurts, just not as bad. God Bless You.

While it’s nothing close to what you & your kids have gone through we recently sold my grandparents house after losing my Grandpa in February
It was very hard to let it go but I realized that I still had all of my memories of being there with them & would not feel the emptiness of being there without them
I pray that you & your kids will find peace in your new home
God Bless

Thanks for being willing to add this to the thread MIT. Prayers for you as you work through your grief and loss.

OP, stay strong. You will get through your loss and be a blessing to others who have suffered in a similar fashion.

I can’t even begin to imagine the grief you’re going through baw. The thought of losing your life partner suddenly is absolutely paralyzing.
If you haven’t already done so, start a weekly meeting with friends…talk through everything. You’ll be surprised how many people will sympathize and be willing to listen. Stay strong baw

I’m saying a prayer for you. I can’t imagine how tough this all has been for you. I hope the move will also ultimately give you the opportunity to regroup and move forward.
