Condolences and prayers.
As someone who became a widower 9months ago, I can tell you that the passage of time does help, but that it is not linear. Bad days pop up unexpectedly after good days. Time passing does skew the ratio of good days to bad days in a more favorable direction though.
Go easy on yourself. Try to get some sleep. Force yourself to eat well. You'll need your strength.
Reach out if you want to.
Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for that dumb bastard.
My Deepest condolences Pat.
May God give you all the strength you need.
Simon.
Sincerest condolences.
Hate to hear this. Losing anyone is hard, more so when it's a spouse.
Pat, I've not been exactly where you're at but I watched my mother go through the loss of my dad and stepdad. You have my sincere condolences. May God be with you.
+1. I lost my wife of 36 years about 2-1/2 years ago. It does get better. All the care you showed to your wife now needs to be directed to yourself. You have a lot of work to do in the next few weeks, and you need to be as healthy as you can be.
If you want to reach out, please feel free to PM me.
My deepest condolences, Pat. May God grant you grace. My prayers are with you and your family.
Jesus paid a debt he did not owe,
Because I owed a debt I could not pay.
I am so sorry.
I am never good at words at times like these, so I usually turn to prayers from others. I found a Native American one that I would like to offer.
A Native American Prayer for the Grieving
I give you this one thought to keep
I am with you still – I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glint in snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
Do not think of me as gone,
I am with you still in each new dawn.
