I just lost my mom to heart disease and like you, I have felt so much pain and grief when that happened. But I know that what I've been through is not the same as losing a wife. My advise is, just let the pain ease away. Slowly, the day will come that you'll come to accpet that she's gone but soon you'll be reunited again.

I'm so sorry. I've never lost anyone that was very close to me and I have a fear of what it will be like when I do. You're a strong person to get this far and you'll be stronger each day from it. Just remember her and appreciate her life, but like kheyanne said, you'll have to eventually accept that she's gone. Good luck, hun.

I truly feel for you. Please remember that it will take a long time to feel better. This is expected. My advice is to try to go through the steps of your life as close to what you did before. Seeing friends and family will help. Make a point to do things that you really don't feel like doing -- take a walk, go to the movies, eat dinner out. They are all very hard at first, but you will feel better afterwards.

My father died in 2000. It took almost a year before I felt like I could get through a day and feel close to normal.

My thoughts are with you.

I don't think anyone would expect you to over the loss of your wife in just two weeks, it will take years to heal, but the pain will start to fade. You can't imagine now that you can go on without her, but it will become easier.

I'm very sorry for your loss, I hope things get better for you. I think the only thing that will make the pain go away is time.

The only thing that will help is time, but also you should try to move on and meet someone else. Its very ahrd at first but in time you will be able to and you will love them too. Your wife would want you to be happy I'm sure and I'm sure she wouldn't want you changing your life around because you miss her. Celebrate that she lived and that she loved you and married you and spent her life with you. Your better off loving and losing then never loving at all. But you can love again.

I know you may not feel like being around your family and friends, but it'll be good for you.  You need to be surrounded by the people that love you dearly, it will help you.
