My sweet husband was laid to rest today. He took an unexpected turn for the worst and was gone in 5 days. Please pray for my sons, precious granddaughters, and me that I can learn to live without him.

I am so sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family that God will wrap you in his loving arms and give you peace and encouragement during the days ahead.

Thank you for all the prayers.

Please grieve the loss of your sweet husband in any way you are needing too. If you want to not wash all his clothes, that is OK, or not remove the last of his socks from the missing sock pile, some may have even framed that final sock, it is totally fine. We each need to do things in our own time and our own unique way. I would not remove all things that make you cry because in reality likely Everything is going to be making you cry at this point. Later those simple little things will bring the floods of all the happy and treasured memories you had together. I like jrobs idea of putting some of his things into a ziplock bags so that you can help preserve his smell, and the one from rescuer about sleeping with his pillows. I know his spirit is on the other side now watching over his loved ones, so please continue to talk and share with him and try to feel of his spirit as he is likely right there, hugging you and listening as you are going through this most difficult time. Having his things around the house as if he was still there, will bring comfort as well as tears for awhile, until eventually they just bring you the comfort of sweet memories. I truly know without a doubt that death is not the end of what the Lord had in his plan for us. Your sweet husband has just gone on to start work for his family there. Time seems to be going faster and faster. There were loved ones on the other side to greet and guide your husband as he passed from this life and when future family members or you yourself pass, your sweet husband will be there to help lead and guide you each into that next phase, that we all must pass through. Please know that there will be Cuties here whenever you need to talk or just need the virtual hugs. Putting on one of your husbands coats or wrapping one of his favorite blankets around you can help you feel as if he himself is still there to wrap his arms around you. If on Friday when your granddaughter leaves it is OK for you to not want to be alone, and need to get out of the house and be around others or to have friends or family invited over. It is definitely not you being a scaredy cat. Every widow remembers those first times of truly feeling alone and likely also the first time she herself was called a widow. Some will immerse themselves into favorite hobbies, service to others, traveling to spend time with family members, whatever and how ever you wish. Staying busy in doing things that were important to your husband may give you a sense of comfort. In the months or years ahead, as you learn what comforted you, even in a small measure, you will then possibly be able to help someone else, that may be going through a similar life experience, your wisdom would then be used to help others in times of sorrow or suffering. Helping others as they go through a life trial to help ease their pain ends up also working at helping to heal the heart aches we ourselves are living with. The more we help others to heal the holes in their hearts it somehow fills in the holes in our own hearts at the same time. Huge Hugs, Pam

thank you - my granddaughter, that lives with us, is home for Thanksgiving, so that has been a big help. But when she leaves Friday, it will be my first day alone. Just hope I won't be a big scardy cat to stay alone.

Sorry to read this sad news. I'm wishing you all the strength to pass these days for you, family and friends Prayers send.

Thank you - every thing reminds me of him. I hate to wash his last clothes - sounds nuts doesn't it?

by jrob 24 Nov 2016

It doesn't sound nuts at all. I kept one of my mother's gowns and put it in a zip lock bag. Her sweet scent remained for a long long time and it was a comfort to me.

by rescuer 24 Nov 2016

Don't let people rush you to remove every thing that reminds you of him. Sleep with his pillow near you as that may be the only time you sleep for now. Take life one moment at a time until you can take it a day at a time. Don't rush your grieving. Allow yourself time.
You will remain in my prayers.

by missqueenbee47 24 Nov 2016

I have heard that you shouldn't make big decisions for a yr. I dread starting the process of settling his estate. I did hold back his last shirt and pillow & case when I changed the sheets.

by jrob 25 Nov 2016

This is your grief. Only yours. No one can tell you how to get through it. You will have to navigate that yourself in your own time~however much time that takes. Give yourself permission to do what you need to do.

by missqueenbee47 27 Nov 2016

Thank you for your advice. I had to do that Saturday - I had to tell someone I just wasn't ready to go out shopping and lunch. I guess as you said - I gave my self permission to do what I felt I could handle - and shopping wasn't it. Thanks for everything.

I am so sorry. It is so tough to loose a loved one. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God give you strength to get through these rough times.

I thank you - I feel he may have seen an angel before he passed. His eyes had been shut for 4 days - he opened them - looked up - for a few seconds - breathed 3 breaths - and was gone. I believe he saw an angel coming for him.

My sympathies, so sorry for your loss, praying for you
