    For me its been 2yrs since I lost my wife to breast cancer. We have 4 kids together and they keep me busy and I like that. Some days are good and some days I dont want to wake up and just hoping to die so I can see her face again. We were married for 24yrs. My kids are my sole focus now.

    I so well know how yoy feel i lost my husband of 45 years. I feel exactly like you. It seems you just can't carry on. We did everything together and now i am alone in some sort of another life that feels so strange. Trying to survive like you. I find no purpose in anything anymorw. Dont even want to cook and if i do food also doesnt taste good or the same. Its so awful. Hope we find peace one day. God bless

      My husband passed almost four months ago. I feel lost and lonely. No children. My husband was my purpose...nearly 20 years. Two months of suffering in terrible hospitals.

    Jeremiah you seem like a very decent and wonderful man, good-hearted. I'm also a widower now for just over 4 years, and my wife also had muscular dystrophy but in her case, she was in a wheelchair since age 6. We were married over 18 years and we did so much together. Several drives across the U.S., about 4 cruise ship holidays. I married her at age 42. Before I met her, I expected to be a lifelong bachelor because I never met a woman I felt in sync with. But with her, it was almost instant and magical. I never doubted about marrying her. I even wrote a song about our falling in love, I called it "I had To" because it was like destiny. And because of that, I got into reading about near death experiences. And that made a difference for me. I don't know what your religious beliefs are, so I won't say much on that, but the message we get from those who die and come back is that there IS a most wonderful spirit world where we all go, and you WILL meet your wife again. I am still not dating and it is hard to think about actually being with someone else, but it's not impossible. I don't believe there has to be just one person for each of us. Why should we be sentenced to a life of loneliness and sadness when there are other souls out there who are also seeking a relationship? Yes, they will be different from your late spouse, but different can be good. I hope sincerely you find your way to another relationship, because you are seeming to me to have such a good heart. You could be a most wonderful man for some woman out there.

    I understand, I lost my wife in 2021. It has been total hell. But we must keep stumbling forward. Easier said than done, I know. It is so damn hard. Without my faith I would be a gonner. But I agree with what you say, I don't have an answer, because there isn't one. Just do the best we can until we are together again. People do not understand, they can't. Wishing us all Peace and Hope.

    I lost my husband 30 years ago now, we didn't get much time together.
    I was pregnant with our daughter then, so it was so hard.
    But Im still here, am just sad that my daughter never got to meet her father.
    My life changed, both bad and good.
    I never found someone that was right for me.
    But its okay ❤
    Time doesn't heal, it just takes away the pain...
    I have lived for my daughters.
    It was hard taking care of them then, I was so heartbroken.
    I got some help, not much.
    Anyway it made me stronger.
    It gets better, trust me 🙏❤️🌸🌸🌸🌼
    God bless you❤

    Your video really speaks to how my heart feels. It is so true, without children, our mate is our everything..and like you, I walk around the same home everyday, and not even want to venture out. What is the point ? Why bother ? Home is where he is, now is in heaven..... And getting to know another man, honestly they are strangers, whom would never have had understood what we W people have gone through. I don't feet any connection with them. I am recommending your video to other W friends. Non W people often do not want to know anything related to death, so this type of videos just annoy them. So thank you, and please take good care. A prayer for you and God bless.

  • @gibletmcniblet
    @gibletmcniblet 7 місяців тому +1

    I’m sorry for what you’ve been through, friend. I will say that I haven’t lost a romantic partner to death, I’ve lost others and been through a major separation. I have dedicated my life since to beginning to study the immense, debilitating grief I have been experiencing. My advice would be to not rush into a new relationship to fill the void. You mentioned fighting with your father- I also understand that. What I have learned is that a lot of our grief comes from childhood, and it gets triggered during major life losses, especially romantic losses.
    Working through our grief takes a lot of work, and that is something noble to work through and focus on. Through the grief we find ourselves, in a lot of ways for the first time, so when we have discovered or rediscovered ourselves, whoever else wants to be added to us will be a benefit and blessing, but not a need. As much as it is true and noble to love someone else, we make our partners someone who we can’t survive without to fill a very deep part of us, but most people don’t know is most often a void that comes from childhood. Families in this modern world weren’t designed to deal with so many stresses and early separation from their children. As a result, many of us have attachment trauma which we try to seek to heal through others who are also traumatized.
    Many people never process their childhood grief and end up living lives which unfortunately do not set them up for thriving and success, romantically or otherwise. I don’t understand why God has allowed so many of us to suffer in life the way we do, but as I see it, the only thing we can do with that is keep fighting to live the best we know how each day.
    I’m studying to become a therapist. But every day has been a struggle for me for years since my breakup. My life has changed forever. But I am trying my best to hold onto faith, face and work through everything that has caused my life to become what it is thus far, and I am working every day to push my life closer to what I dream I want it to be inch by inch.
    I wish you all the best in your journey, and my heart goes out to you. As long as you’re still breathing, you have a purpose in this world. We all do. We need each other. Please don’t give up.
    ❤ Aaron

    I am glad you have a faithful cat friend! Please keep trying to find joy in your days. I lost too, 3 months ago. I am so grateful for the years i had and i miss him every day, but i am not full of grief all the time, i am looking for joy and staying busy with things i wanted to do. Oh, and I eat when and what I want, smile when I eat tuna or onions, he hated them! And all of you, you totally have a huge purpose in life, take care of yourself! I smile at what a funny wonderful husband he was and i accept that one of us would go first, i am so grateful it was him because i took care of him with alzheimers and i was so lucky to take care of him! I still cry but it doesn't rule my life. It gave my life so much meaning. You have so much to give!

    None of us that has experienced a profound, life-changing loss would ever wish this experience on anyone else, but it helps to see others (who this has happened to) speak honestly about it.
    If for no other reason, this dark grief "journey" that we're now on (now that we're missing the person who was at the center of our lives) feels a little less lonely after watching videos like this.
    Thank -you for the video, Jeremiah.
    Your video is now eight months ago. I hope you're doing at least *some* better these days, man.
    It's tough (to say the least) to be travelling this lonely, dark road that we now find ourselves on.

    Though I can sympathize with what you are saying, there are many of us who have always been single, we have always been alone, no adjustment needed. That said it is true it is better have loved and lost than never loved at all. Sometimes life is just the way the cookie crumbles.

    I never thought it would happen to me. I lost my beloved husband 1.8.22. He was the love of my life. The best thing that ever happened to me. He was my reason for living. I have a broken heart without him. I cry everyday for him. Grief is the price of love. Every word you say is so true. Exactly how l feel. How l miss him. There is no me without my soulmate. I am standing amongst the rubble of my life... I am struggling.... I have lost my world, my everything....

My life will never be the same. I will make it through this and I will carry her in my heart forever, until I see her again. The last two months are a fog. "Being a stranger in my own life"...exactly this! I don't recognize myself or my life any more.
