So Much in Common
by: TrishJ

I can't believe how similar our stories are. I lost my husband on December 3, 2010. It was just 6 months a few days ago. My husband also loved boxing ~ he was in the Navy on the USS Kearsarge during the Viet Nam era. He too loved being on the water. He purchased a 32 foot cabin cruiser 8 years ago. He became very ill 5 years ago so the about didn't see much water time.
Joe died while waiting for a heart transplant. I know what you mean about the numerous emergencies. I spent more time in the ER and hospital rooms in the last year of his life. I don't begrudge him one minute of all the time and energy we spent trying to save him.
It's almost surreal being here without him. We were married for 37 1/2 years. Not all wedded bliss but he was the father of my children, my husband, my friend. I miss him so much.
It's been very hard for me the last 6 months. Not only did I lose my husband but we had to sell our home also due to the bad economy and the medical bills. I've had to rebuild my life completely. I think I'm making progress.
Our husbands loved us and would want us to be happy. It's hard to think about happiness without them isn't it?
We have a saying on this web site ~ one breath, one step at a time. You really can't think past today right now. I stopped making plans to far in advance because I have no idea what kind of day I will be having. The depression seems to creep in when I least expect it.
Keep the faith. God really is good. Hugs and peace to you.

So sorry for your loss
by: Anonymous

Brenda, I am so sorry for your loss. Your husband sounds like a wonderful man and you are so blessed to have had 32 years with him. He really stood by you through thick and thin and I can only imagine what you must be feeling like right now.

I lost my darling sister-in-law in November. She was my best friend and felt like a real sister, not just a sister-in-law. I know what it feels like to feel lonely and alone. I guess that's part of the grieving process. I pray you will get through it all and find the strength to go on. You sound like someone who has conquered many tough things already.

Sending you a hug from my part of the world.
