I am truly sorry to hear about your loss. I went through the same thing in 2001. My wife was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 1988. We had 10 pretty good and "normal" years before things started to go downhill. She spent 12 months in a residential hospice facility and then 6 months in a nursing home under "hospice level" care. From the initial diagnosis in 1988 I knew deep down that she was not going to win the battle. We made the best of the good years and survived the bad.
I don't know how long your wife fought the battle with the big C. I had plenty of time to begin the grieving process before the end came. My two daughters were not as far along as I was. One was married and the other was still in high school. I had wonderful support through family, church, work, and community, but it still was something I had to work through myself.
I feel very fortunate to have found another love of my life and am happily married again. My daughters felt it was too soon at the time, but have grown to love my new wife as well.
I don't know if there are support groups for you on Eons. All I can say is to hang in there and try to be active in your community. I'm glad you have a part time job. That should help.
Best wishes,
Clyde
I am so sorry for you loss. I have never lost a spouse, but did loose a child several years ago, and I understand your pain. The day will come when the pain will ease, it may not seem so today..but it will.
God Bless
