Your heart will go on…
…you can feel like there really is nothing left to live for, that is both a common and understandable feeling. No matter what the loss -your job, your company, your money or indeed the death of a loved one..part of you dies, but do you know the most important part of that sentence…”part of”
When you fall in love, you give a part of yourself over to that other person, when they leave your
world that part leaves with them. However, I would like you to think about the rest of you…you gave a PART of your heart, your life…there is still something very important left…the essence of you. We need to learn to fall in love with ourselves again…being in love is fantastic but sometimes we can be so in love that we forget to love ourselves. Here is a couple of thoughts on how to start
- Write down your best 3 characteristics
- Write down what YOU alone have achieved that you are proud about
- Write down what a happy life will look like, feel like…
- Write down what steps you will take to build on your strengths and make that dream come true

I lost the love of my life on November 28th,2007.
It was sudden and now I’m left with this deep sadness. Our lives came together 10 yrs ago after watching the “Titanic” movie and the song “My heart will go on” has always moved us. I’ve never really spent time on the computer except to download music. So, I’m not even sure how sites such as this is all about. I guess,
I’m looking to reach out to others who can relate to my great loss.

Oh, Cecilia,
I lost my husband of over 20 years three years ago. His death was also sudden.
The computer became my best friend. I only wish I had a site like Widows Quest after his death.
I googled widows, grief, joined chat rooms, but the distinction here is that there’s a positive note. This is a wonderful site for inspiration.
I found myself starving to talk to other women who had lost their partners, there were a few, but nothing like this.
My rule of thumb was: get out of bed every morning, take a shower, get dressed, comb hair…and then I could veg…and veg I did.
Reach out, get support.
I am so, so sorry this has happened to you.
You, like the rest of us here, have joined the club no one ever wants to join…
It’s like you have lost half of your brain and heart…there are many of us here…to support and hold you.
Blessings.

I know a part of me went with my husband when he died four months ago. But a wonderous thing happened… I have part of him here with me now. He taught me how to love toy trains and John Deeres. He left his love for me deep inside my heart. Sometimes I have to look real hard to see, but I eventually can find those parts of him that I held so precious still alive in my heart and mind.
My heart goes out to you. Reach out and use this web site. It hasd been such a great help to me…and a good listener when no one else could.

What I meant was that thru the tears and saddness I’ve had crushing me I’ve had to look past myself and what I was feeling to see what he had left me.
(sorry for the mess up)

Shari - No need to apologise as I fully understand how you feel. I have the same feeling wearing an old jumper would you believe…it is hard moving from looking back to looking forward and you can move between the two…but I know that is what he would want me to do. Thanks to both of you for sharing your thoughts it helps me so much and I am sure others
