My husband and i met in high school, continued dating afterward graduation, and we married when i was 20, he was 21. We were married 41 years when he died. I literally cried every day for 5 months. I felt lost and alone. Paralyzed with grief. I withdrew from everything and everyone. As i began to heal i decided not to remarry. And 7 years after his passing, i am still a widow. I'm learning to live alone and learning how peaceful silence is. I removed the TV and began to listen to Christian teachings on my phone. With no TV, the static in my ears disappeared. I'm in a much better frame of mind. I still love my husband. I always will.

My wife passed on 1/2/2024 in our home from heart attack. I was there to see her last breaths. The guilt of being helpless in that moment is overwhelming. God bless my wife Marcy.

After 52 years married, I lost her this morning. I’m watching this in hopes of learning how to manage these waves of incredible grief.

What an amazing down to earth and warm woman! She passed away this March 15, 2023. Rest in Peace dear woman, hopefully you are now with your loved ones in the next world.💐

I’m 74. Lost my husband and soulmate of 52 years 4 years ago. Your Dopamine Fix theory hit home. For me, whenever my husband and I would make eye contact from across the room, he would wink at me. What I wouldn’t give to have that dopamine fix just one more time.

Still crying my eyes out 30 years later. I don't keep his pictures around me because it's too painful to see his face. People don't understand how I can grieve for so long, I tell them because that was my soulmate and that's the only man for me.

Just googled her, as at November 2021, she is 95. I hope she found that lovely companion she sought

For 52 years every time I heard my husband's truck/car pull up the driveway, my heart lifted. That was dopamine. I was very fortunate, no regrets.

I was diagnosed with stage 3 bone cancer and my cancer only has 3 stages. One week after having my femur removed, blood clots blocked 7 veins from my hip to my ankle. While bound to my wheelchair unable to walk, we found out that our unborn baby had a major heart problem. He ended up requiring complete reconstructive open heart surgery when he was only 6 days old. Not long after that my 13 year old son suffered a traumatic brain injury losing the entire right half and frontal lobe completely. He was in a coma for 2 months. We threw ourselves upon Jesus. Know this: every prayer was answered. I am no longer in a wheelchair, am fully capable. 8 years in remission. Our young boy is 110% and proud of his chest scar where God gave him a lions heart. My 13 year old is now 17 and 100% mentally recovered. He lost nothing. He lost no time in school and is soon to be an engineer, his dream. Nothing is impossible. Where you think you end is really where you begin. Believe in Jesus and through that faith, be thankful. God is great people. Much love to ALL OF YOU.

I was married for 60 years to my soul mate husband who had dementia but was still his gentle loving self and died four years ago . I still cry myself to sleep every night - the heart never goes away

20 years together and I lost him two weeks ago. I feel broken , empty and scared. My husband will never be past tense to me. We are still a team. I am struggling

My beautiful kind selfless mother passed away yesterday (March 11, 2022) and I cannot express the depths of my sorrow, sadness and the emptiness I feel. She was the most wonderful person I’ve ever known. She was the source of all joy, the rock and the life of our family. I really cannot see how I can recover when she seemed like she was going to make it. I just wish I had one more week, one more month and one more year with her. I pray pray pray I get to see her again.

The price you pay for loving someone with all your heart, is that they take it with them when they die.

Dear beautiful souls. I just lost my little baby boy Saturday 3-26-22. I am in unbearable heartache pain to the core of my very soul!💔😢😭 please pray🙏 sending love and light from my heart to yours❤🙌🌈💜

I lost my wife of 16 years and 4 days to cancer on January 19th, I have been searching for some way to understand and accept what happened. This marvelous lady has done wonders to help me understand. I am so thankful that I found this.

I met my husband when We were 15 and 17. Our marriage at 20 and 22 lasted 65 years. I am am now after 3 years still feeling I have no perpuse in life. After being very healthy My health went down with a vengeance. I have good days and bad days bu tI am hear until the man upstairs decides it is time for me to join john. So I keep a fixed smile on my face and take a day at a time. I prefer to be the one left because I know he would have faded away within weeks. Thankyou for listening.

This woman speaks a lot of truth. Having lost my wife over 14 months ago - I try to take steps, but so hard. Miss her so much still.

Loss isn’t always about a death!!! My dad and mom have been married for sixty years: Dad recently moved into an aged care facility : Mums day to day life has changed dramatically , they RARELY ever spent a night apart. Dad and Mum did mostly everything together; and even though they can still see each other; it’s such a dramatic life change for both of them ………

My husband died at age 46 in 1995. I was 38 and 64 now, never lived with anyone or got remarried. Was busy working, now retired and playing it day by day. I've learned to enjoy the company of women more than men where there are no expectations. God will provide.
