Bettyanne my husband died......Sept 8th
Hopalong:
My brain went DIRECTLY to you getting some sort of hearing-assist TV headphones.
(Worked with a bunch of older people who were TV-hearing challenged. What a difference for the family! TV louder than one is comfortable with can be difficult.)
Here's an example (click on Product Overview):

Hope that helps,

Bettyanne:
Bill or as I called him Billy has passed six months now.......I am at times crying still a lot......I loved him so so much.
He saved my life from mostly my mother who never knew how to love anyone other then herself.
I have been asking God to help me.......and Billy too..........
at times I feel so lost without him......
Thank you for all your lovely replies.......
......omg its hard to believe......that he has passed.
Lots of tears......here
Love to you all
Bettyanne
PS I was with Billy since I was 16 years.....what a blessing. WE were married 56 years.....I am so grateful for that and our six kids......all grown now.

Hugs, BettyAnne.
These waves will keep coming up - something will remind you of a past moment; or it's a special date. And over time, the love that is under the sense of loss doesn't diminish, but you'll gradually start claiming your own life in the now. I wonder what that might look like?
Hopalong:
I'm so sorry you're missing your Billy, ((((((Bettyanne))))).
So much loss to bear.
I bet he's smiling down at you, saying it's okay, love, it'll get better.
Sending peace and hugs,
Hops

(((Bettyanne))) It's ok to cry and wail and moan when you miss Billy. Those emotions need to come out and you deserve to express and have them. It's ok...every emotion you have belongs. Welcome it. Tend to it. Give it a home in your heart as a part of you. Billy is always with you. Honor your amazing marriage in the ways you need to. Ask yourself what those ways are. Listen to your intuition and embrace what comes up.
As Hops said, there will be waves of emotion. You might lean in with curiosity, rather than judging good from bad days.
It's ok to feel whatever you feel. Be super kind to yourself, and every emotion rolling through you, please. Like you're tending young children. Giving them attention....being curious about them
Take care of yourself, Bettyanne. I'm so glad to see you posting.
