dealing with death of husband

My husband has end stage liver disease, which just happed like within four months last fall. I became concerned when I became aware of how much his drinking had increased last fall. He became hospitalized close to Christmas and was released early in January since we were this was it and he needed time to spend at home with his family especially his grandchildren. The doctors had only given him two weeks to live but thank God he is still with us.

At first it seems like the light at end of the tunnel, is so far and out of reach, but with the right support the tunnel is not so scary. This is what I tell myself everyday. I say, "Rachel, live today like Cooper would want you to!" "Live this day to make all his Angel Buddies proud!!" Your daughter does not want you to be sad, she wants you to LIVE. Keep her alive by sharing her life with others, the more you tell the more will LOVE!!!!!

for the baby and how much will effect him. I usually a very emotional person when dealing with death and I feel like a horrible person for not allowing myself to feel bad. What do I do???

This is what I am dealing with, on top of everything else! I will take comfort in this forum; you are all so great and helpful. I also hope that I can give back to those that have questions. You all are now my family! Thank you SO much for reading; I just have so much going on.........

Hi, I am having a very difficult time dealing with family without having modd swings. I am trying to go to meetings, but my schedule and family situations are keeping me from doing so. Funny, I could have gone to bars and just neglected family in the past, but now, I am dealing with family situations and trying to be present. However, my children and my husband are DRIVING ME CRAZY. I keep serenity prayering and it helps for a little bit.

I just posted this on anothers forum and thought it might help you too. I'm not sure if this is a possibility for you but I had a miscarriage in June and everything you said above was told to me. It's very frustrating. It feels like you can't morn or be sad for your loss. Because there isn't a body for others to see they don't get your sadness. So my husband and I went away to a B&B for the weekend. Shut off our phones and mourned our babies death.

For the first 18 weeks of my pregnancy, my husband was a total piece of work. You've probably seen some of the posts, not his brightest moments. I don't know what happened, but over the last month he has done a complete 180! He's sweet, accommodating, showers me with goodies..he brought me home a diamond bracelet this weekend! Right now I decided to get in the tub, and he brought in a bunch of candles. Lit them, and walked back out.

So my husband and I had been trying for a baby for over 2 years when we finally got pregnant. Of course we are ecstatic. I'm 10 weeks 2 days and everything I'd going smoothly with baby. I'm white. Like Casper the friendly ghost white haha. My family is all german. My husband is African American and native American. He has a very ethnic look. After we announced our pregnancy most people were excited too!

I had my first son, Jeremiah, 3years ago. My husband and I really wanted a girl, but when we found out it was a boy, I actually found myself to be UPSET. For a while after I found out, I walked around wishing I wasn't pregnant with him. Of course I love my son to death, and can't imagine life without him. Now that I'm pregnant again, I'm having this mothers instinct that its a girl. But I don't want to go through the disappointment again.

t push yourself too much, and your husband can still spend the kind of time with you that makes him feel special. I wish you both well on this journey that believe it or not can have some wonderful blessings too!

what meetings is he attending that he pays for NA/AA meetings are free how long have you been with him crack is an awful drug there are not any physical withdrawals per say but the moodiness and angry outbursts are no fun i suggest if you can and you haven't been with him for a long time and don't have much invested in this relationship leave, do you know for sure he wants to quit does he relapse frequently and you need some support for sure they have alanon meetings in the morning day

Just like falling in love takes time so does dealing with a passing of a loved one.Just opposite ways of feeling.Love and loss,two parts of life that both hurt.For loving anyone or anything,such as a pet can lead to pain.All feelings lead to pain and despair,eventually.So do we stop feeling,stop loving,stop caring,no we just learn to adjust to our new lives without that loved one that pet,that friend.whom ever.Death ends a life,not a relationship.

Are you still currently married? Do you intend to rekindle your relationship with your husband, or are you going to proceed with a divorce? My first bit of advice though, reach out and meet new people. You said you do not have many friends, so perhaps start making some. What are your interests? Do you have hobbies you enjoy? There are meet up groups where I live for people that share things in common. Perhaps that is a good place to start.

That is a big part of why I decided to treat, I got sick of dealing with having to tell potential sex partners about it, feeling like a leper, etc. because the general public is fearful and ignorant.

Im very sorry for your loss, but please remember that you have gained a beautiful guardian angel. Iy is hard but remember that when the time is right you will have another baby to have for the rest of your life. Loosing a child is the worst thing a mother can deal with but just dont lose faith and remember you have someone looking after you and your family. Try and get your feelings out, there's nothing wrong with that, its part of coping with this.

I had my Core Biopsy on Friday, which hurt quite a bit all weekend :-P I'm waiting for results, and I'm trying so hard to be calm, but I really have the worst feeling, and it's making me sick to my stomach. I'm totally unable to focus on work. How do some of you ladies deal with the waiting and uncertainty?

Addiction started in the beginning of 2008. While I was giving birth he was taking pills outside in the car.. He was on & off in 2009.. 2010 was very bad. He did rehab for about 3 hours.. I had thought he hit rock bottom but he didn't. I had an intervention with one of his parents in Nov of 2010 & he was clean, cold turkey, until April of this year.. It has been hell ever since..

ll need you by his side. But he has to be okay with being weak in front of you. He has to want the help. It is more than possible for you guys to get your lives back.

My ex husband shot two of my sons last Saturday night following an argument. We may never know the exact details, and I am not sure it matters. My younger son died I hope instantly from a gunshot to his chest. My older son was shot three times in lower body before his dad turned and fired at the son he killed. It is an unbelievable blow. I may be in shock, but seem to be ok. My family is so wonderful, trying to protect me from the worst of what we have to do.
