It is a monster for sure. 2 weeks ago l lost my dog of 12 years. We were together 24/7 as i am disabled. There's a hole in my aching heart. Have not stopped crying for 2 weeks. The pain is intense and all i can do is let it be. Good luck and love to all of youo ut there who are grieving a severe loss. It may be difficult but seeking support from the "right" folks who understand is always a good idea. Let them love you and you receive it. Pass it on.

My father passed away 6 weeks before my parents 60th anniversary
Now my mom sits and watches TV all day missing my dad everyday
I watch her age each day because she misses my dad every day
Thankfully I only live a mile away and visit her every day to help her as my sister does also
She’s 87 but I can see her aging rapidly each day
Yes grief is a monster lurking in every room
As far as prostate cancer goes I to have prostate cancer in the bones and was diagnosed at the age of 63
I’m in my 21st month of treatment and doing well so far because the treatment for prostate cancer has come a long way since her husband was diagnosed with this dread disease
My heart ❤️ goes out to her

My husband died from Agent Orange, too. He had Multiple Myeloma for eight years. We were married for 20 years. It has been almost four years since he left this earth. I still feel devastated. My dog had very bad reaction to some anesthesia this past week, and I could not take her home with me. I immediately lost all of my faith in an afterlife when this happened. She is okay now, but I wonder how I would have been if she didn't fully recoverer. My therapist tells me that I am getting on with life because I have had a hip and shoulder replacement. She says that I am funny, strong and am moving forward. I want to scream at her, "I am at the top of a slippery slope. I can easily fall down the suicide side". I stay here because I have a daughter, who is 36 years old, and has had diabetes, since she was 2. She is married, so her husband and I are the only family we have. I lived in SC for about 7 years. It is a beautiful state. I love animals and would love to have a tiny farm, with chickens, dogs, cats and all that goes with it. Working outside has always been my escape. Round Up is Agent Orange, so obviously our government still allows it and is able to sleep at night. I wonder who is being paid off. I tell people that our government, during the Vietnam War, murdered my husband. They did not test Agent Orange. They did not care one bit. All the people it was dumped on is unimaginable. I think about going to a 55+ community in Ponte Verde, Florida sometimes. I do not have any family who understands what it is like to lose the one man you love. They don't want to understand or even imagine it. I love the beach and it feeds my soul....literally. Ponte Verde, FL has a beach six miles away from where I would live. My daughter is in TX, and I have lived there, too. It is flat, dusty with very little beauty. I feel like a duck out of water. I know the monster you speak about. He follows me everywhere. The doctor was not going to operate on my second hip because he said that I am too emotional. I told him that that is my genetic makeup. Your idea of a farm and gardening sounds wonderful to me. However, I am not a loner and I do not have many friends anymore. They have all died. I lost my friend, Susan, last Thursday to ALS. She was a widow, too. We understood each other without even speaking about our husbands' death, although we did. I miss her terribly. Her last words to me were "Tell Claudia that I beat her". She was being funny because we wondered who would see our husbands first. I am not sure what I believe anymore or what is true. I will just have to live with that. I wish I knew someone like you that I could talk to. I had another friend, who was 30 years older than I. She lost her husband, too. She is no longer here either. How I wish I could speak with her. She was so insightful about family and love. I am going to be 65, but I tend to get along better with women who are not my age. Go figure. Thank you for your talk. It reached a part of me that very few people understand.

I feel attacked by grief almost the entire day. I lost my husband three months ago. His heart stopped beating suddenly while we were watching tv, no warnings, no goodbyes. As this sweet lady says I can no longer appreciate beauty. I just don't know who I am any more. He was my life, we met when I was 16 and shared life since then. We had three children that are caring adults now, just like she says. Sometimes it feels like I'm losing my mind. The pain, the anger, the fear are so deep I don't know what to do. I hope that in time, I can discover that passion to enjoy life again.
