Bettyanne my husband died......Sept 8th

(1/7) > >>

Bettyanne:
I haven't been on here in a while.  My husband Bill was sick and dying for the past 3 years with cancer.  He sadly died a few weeks ago.  I have been married to him for 56 years.  He was the love of my life.  Today I wonder what will I do without him???
WE were 16 and 17 when we met.  We feel in love in a very short time......and married 4 years later.  Life sure had its ups and downs........Bill was alcoholic came from such a family.......but he became sober 35 years ago.......He spent his time helpling others recover too.  He had alcoholic parents and a brother too.  Its what we do with what we get???

Life taught us a lot and we worked at repairing the childhoods we came from.......both mothers were so off......they both new everything and really new nothing.  We both ended up in therapy and Bill in AA too.  We were by no means perfect, we lived through a lot of shit and learned a lot of how not to be.....

I have just let off a bit.......
Thank you friends.......
Bettyanne..

Hopalong:
Bettyanne,

I am so very sorry.
May Bill rest in peace and may you find peace in all your days.
Even when we know it's coming, this kind of loss is so hard.

I was glad to learn more about him--he must have been a remarkable man. And he was lucky to be married to you.

Sending you comfort and care.

hugs
Hops

I am so sorry for your loss, m'dear. I know how huge this can feel. (My hubby died 5 years ago.)
I'll bet you can tell a lot of stories about your life with him.

Feel free to talk out those memories and your experience as you go through this new life "time". Everyone's journey is uniquely their own. Do you have local, face to face support? Children or church? Friends?
