I lost my Darling Wife this morning.

[kentuck]

I don't know if I will ever have anything else to say on our beloved DU? I am having difficulty processing everything at the moment.

1. Oh my gosh. You must be in shock.

Please accept my condolences on this terrible loss. Holding you in my heart. 💜

[hlthe2b]

2. kentuck, I just logged in and saw your post. I am SO sorry.

It is hard to know what to say, and I don't doubt that shock has consumed you. I hope that you have family with you-- or coming-- or dear friends to be with you. If not, WE, the DU community, are here. Whatever we can do, just ask.

You are in my constant thoughts today, please know.

11. Kentuck, I am so sorry.

That's awful. Please don't worry about processing right this second. You feel what you feel. it will take time, maybe a lot of time to "process" it. God, that's just so sad. I'd say more but I don't know anything about your personal situation. Just please go easy on yourself. You've got to treat yourself with a ton of compassion during times like this. Remember there's no "right or wrong" way to go through what you're going through.

Post whatever you need to post.

Thinking of you and hoping you are okay. Do you have any support, from friends or family members, during this time?

[usonian]

252. Take some time for yourself. Hopefully, you can spend some time with friends and family

and whatever hobbies you have.

After some time, maybe a long time, you can just recall the precious moments spent with your wife.

I lost both parents in 1999. They didn't cross that "date line"

After some time, I gathered up all the photos, slides and documents they left, and still need to get together with my brother and document all the wonderful and sometimes weird moments we spent with them. And that's on the to-do list.

Put the remembrance of wonderful times on your to-do list and know that this day, many people are sending you a virtual hug.

[IbogaProject]

259. So very sorry

I must caution you to be extra careful taking care of your self, you are at increased personal risk for 6-12 months. Your whole routine has been upended and the risk won't subside until 6-12 months from now. It will seem very bleak once the initial goings on settle down, just remember it is best she isn't the one left behind and be glad you have to do that rather that the other way around. I know it sounds sappy but just be still and take it slow for awhile.

[FakeNoose]

260. May her memory be a blessing to all her loved her

Especially to you, dear Kentuck....

[hamsterjill]

261. I am so sorry, kentuck.

265. Breaks my heart to hear this, Kentuck.

Having experienced this exact event myself in 2019, I feel your pain and loss. My wife and I were married in 1965, right out of high school and she stayed by my side through some very trying times. I am eternally grateful for her life and I'm blessed to have the love of our two adult children.

I sincerely believe you will heal with time and carry on your family tradition of progressive living in her honor.

Please let the DU family know if there's anything we can do.

One day at a time, good friend............ ........

[The Wizard]

goes with living a long life. We survivors must endure the pain. In time you will adjust and be thankful for the life you had with her. In the meantime, take whatever time you need to grieve. "For everything there is a season..."

285. Kentuck, I am profoundly sorry for the loss of your beloved wife.

Along with everyone else who has posted here, I send you my sympathy.

As many have said, you are in shock right now.
Be kind to your soul. And let yourself feel everything you are feeling. There is no right way or wrong way to go through this. There is only the way that you find for yourself.

We are here for you. 24/7. Always.

[BigmanPigman]

286. Holy shit! How awful!

I have tears in my eyes (really) as I write this. What the hell happened? No need to respond....I am grieving for your huge and sudden situation and the shock is very real. My dad died suddenly in his sleep (he was healthy as a horse) 6 years ago. The grief never goes away for me, never!

[Peacetrain]

287. Oh no kentuck... I am so very sorry for your loss

[badhair77]

288. I'm so sorry, kentuck. I wish you peace.

When you feel up to it, and if you feel up to it, I’d love to hear about her. Next week it will be 5 years since my husband passed and I find a lot of pleasure talking about him, even now. Doing the same might bring some peace to you and we are always willing to listen.

[byronius]

289. I cannot imagine losing mine.

Remember it is okay to lean on people, and to let others lean on you.

I wish I had something wise to offer. I don't.

Please be well.

298. Heartfelt condolences to you & your family...

[sestina]

299. I am sending good thoughts

to you for the many tough moments ahead.
It's hard to lose the love of your life, the person you chose and who chose you, to be there for each other 24/7.
May your beautiful memories and the people who show up to comfort you make your journey through unbearable grief a little easier everyday.

Years ago, I found this quote by Anne Lamott, and whenever I revisit it, I replace the first word 'Faith' with 'Grief'.

Faith includes noticing the mess, the emptiness and discomfort, and letting it be there until some light returns.”
— Anne Lamott
From "Traveling Mercies" 1999

[CountAllVotes]

307. So sorry for you

It is such a huge loss losing a partner in life.
My husband has been gone just over three years now and I'm still out of it in the head.
It seems once you accept the fact that they are not returning (at least in this life) you are able to start taking small steps, very small.
I wish you the very best and please take good care of yourself.
My condolences kentuck.

& recommend.

[JHB]

315. I'm always at a loss of what to say. "I'm sorry for your loss" seems so trite and perfunctory, but...

...it's the truth. Don't even bother with trying to process things yet, wait until the world stops tumbling. I hope you have people in your life who will step in and help you with all the mundane details of getting by until you are ready to deal with the world again.

No words need be spoken by you at this time.


But Words spoken by you, kentuck, would be sorely missed here in our DU community.
