My Loving Husband Passed Unexpectedly

Your "first" holidays will be hard. I know from experience. But with a good support system you will be well, I am sure. And remember, we are all friends here..even though most of us have never met in real life. Feel free to vent. Have days that are better or worse than others.
You will never fully get over it, but we are here'
A book I recomended in another thread comes to mind. "The Year of Magical Thinking" By Joan Didion, She wrote it about her first year after the loss of her husband, It helped me although it came out a couple years after Rick passed

Thank you Marie. 💙 May Rick rest peacefully.
 
Seabreeze, thank you for sharing your update with us.
It must be so terribly sad at times, and at other moments, it seems like you manage to hold on to some hope and your strength, and his love that stays with you, 24 hours daily.

Like Holly mentioned in her wonderful post above, I am extremely glad to hear that you have those people that you know you can call on, which is a comfort even when you don't call on them.

Remember to actually call on them, when each might have a special ability for whatever your need.
You don't need to wait till desperate; remember how glad they will be that you actually accepted their offer, and how good they will feel about helping you. It will be helping them at the same time, to help you.
hugs for you, and it's always good to see you on the other threads, as well, of course.

As I was getting ready to welcome October and the Fall Season, my husband passed away in our bed in the middle of the night.

Our bond was strong for fifty years together, we were best friends and soulmates who shared laughter and love every single day. We spent a lot of time traveling around and camping in beautiful places just soaking in the landscape, oceans, skies, the nature, the wildlife. At least I have a lot of good loving memories. He was everything to me, and I will never stop missing him and loving him. He was a good man, kind to people and animals, and always kind and loving with me. 💜

I'm glad I have my pup and kitty to keep me company, they also seem sad and sense his absence in our home. I can't talk about him or even think about him without tears in my eyes, I loved him so much.

My thoughts are with you, SeaBreeze.

When I first joined this forum, you were a Moderator and a model of fairness and restraint.
Just know that you are not alone because you have many forum friends here who hold you in the highest esteem.
Everyone's loss is personal and everyone grieves differently. May your memories comfort you and heal your broken heart.
