Three Secrets to Thriving After Losing Your
Spouse - You Won't Believe #2!

[kathrynmolesa]

after losing my husband i was in kind of a fog for an entire year. But then I slowly came out of it and began to feel to joy of life again. Having a routine helped me immensely.. Exercise, getting a new hobby, going to church, visiting friends and family. I got a gardener and a housekeeper. Now I don’t mind being alone too much. I do know that my faith, family and friends is what helped me the most.

Typical advice from someone that hasn't walked a mile in my shoes. My Wife and I were together for 53 years. Just kids when we married. She died in April '24. There aren't any words for my loneliness. I am trying to carry on. We did everything together, not apart. The things we enjoyed together are no longer desirable or fun. I still talk to her. And yes, I cry for her. I feel terrible for others that have to live this life. I am thankful that I survived her because I wouldn't want her to have to live this way. I really don't like people telling me what my Wife would have wanted, etc. Not helpful.

I met my wife when we were 5 years old. We started dating at age 16 ( 1966 ) and married in '72. She died 6/1/ 2021 after 49 years of marriage. I am tired of it all. It's like the song by " The Feel Good Tanyas".... "Waiting Around To Die". That is what I'm doing.

2 Corinthians 12:9 KJV with 1 Timothy 5:9 KJV as advice in remarriage. I'm 76 and have thought about this.
