Man that must be heartbreaking. I don’t know you obviously, but I’ll pray for the Lord to give you comfort during this time of pain.

Sorry for what you are going through

Me and my wife have had several conversations about this subject. We have been married for 30 years. I can’t imagine what life will be without her if she goes first.

My good friend just lost his lovely wife and he is already wanting to sell his home.

Where God closes a door, he opens a window.
Very sorry for your loss. It sounds like you might have some PTSD, which is totally understandable. Prayers for you and your family.

I am praying for you and family as well. I am sure your father is a strong person and I hope God continues to strengthen me for our journey ahead.

I couldn’t have made it this far without God. When there was nothing left to hold on to. Literally the only thing that I held onto was hope. I continue to hold on to hope for better days ahead. I know God is with me and my family and I know he feels every tear I cry. My plans in life were not his plans and when the timing is right. God will reveal his plans and I know they will be more glorious than I can ever image.

This song helped me move forward after my mom’s death. I lost my mom and my pup of 16 years within 5 months of each other. It might sound cheezy, but music helps, especially this song. It’s like it understood where I was in my life at the time and how to cope. It was a constant reminder that there were people there in my life wanting to help and to take advantage of that. It kept me motivated and pushing forward. Try to find more music that’s motivating and helps push you towards a positive future

My wife of 26 years and 7 kids left out of the blue 6 years ago. No real explanation except for "happiness" - I have to mourn our marriage in silence because if I do it out loud I am weak or whatever.


My situation is very similar. Married for 24 years, 2 kids, left 3 years ago. The hardest thing to deal with is the part in bold. Nothing about it makes any sense in my mind, and that lack of a real explanation just haunts me. I know that the OT will immediately jump to “Jody”, but that’s not it. Neither of us have so much as dated anyone else since we split, and I have no plans to. I’ve found a way to be content, and I just have to accept a decision that I can do nothing about.

Everyone deals with it different. When my dad passed away, I avoided going into the room he was in for a long time

I can't even begin to understand what you are going through, but I do wish you the best.

Sending up some prayers and support brother. Talking about this tragedy helps and is therapeutic. As noted in several posts above, you are not alone. Others have experienced the same and can help you cope by sharing how they deal with their same feelings. I'll be praying for you and your family during these difficult times

Man, the end of your post brought tears to my eyes. Can’t imagine being in your position and I pray I won’t be for a very very long time. Don’t have any advice for you but I’ll say a prayer for you.

Very sorry for your loss. I found my mom deceased on the floor of her bedroom. That image popped up in my mind for a few months after, but, after about 6 months 90% of what popped into my mind were good, loving moments that made me smile inside. You'll get there soon enough once your grieving evolves.

Many condolences to you my friend. I can only imagine to pain you are feeling.

Take time to mourn and heal brother.

If moving away is what you feel you need to heal, then by all means do it.

Prayers for you & the family

Heavy things brah.

Good luck on moving forward. She loved you and that’s what she’d want for you.

You’re doing right by her in doing so at your own pace.

Good luck and I truly mean that.

I feel you. As a friend said - it takes two to marry and only one to divorce. I wasn’t a perfect husband but wasn’t a Stuka rd, never cheated, worked damn hard, spent time with her, worked on it and in the end my efforts didn’t mean shite.

I look at guys who bitch about their wives and drink and cheat and think wtf?
