Soon it will be seven months since the love of my life passed away. No one understands what it’s like to have to go through life without him. I feel completely lost and have wanted to give up so many times but I can’t because losing him gave me my faith in God and the fear of not being able to go to heaven and be with him again is too great to actually end it all. Every day is a challenge and some days I honestly miss him so much I just can’t even get out of bed.

Are there any groups for persons who have also lost the love of their life in your area? Grief support, people who do understand and can support you. Just knowing that someone else shares your feelings of loss can help, and perhaps they could help you in coping.
I know it would be no substitute but a loving pet can be a great comfort, someone to talk to at lonely times. No, they might not understand your words, but then can respond to your feelings. My cat is amazing in down times. She always knows when I need her love more than usual. This might seem a frivolous suggestion but it is not meant to be. So many little loves have no home or anyone to care, and they always give me far more than humans in most circumstances, unconditional love.
I have thought about looking for support groups but I have also felt like I’m not ready to open up to anyone other than our families and close friends. I feel like nothing I do is going to make anything better because people always are telling me “it will get better” which just proves more and more that they don’t really know the struggles I face each day and so it just becomes frustrating and makes me turn away from others. I love animals and would love to have an indoor pet but my living situation doesn’t allow it right now.
Keep looking for a support group. They WILL understand. You will see it in their eyes. You need to open up to someone who does understand. People who haven’t been there might care, but they don’t know what you’re going through.
That you love animals shows a compassionate open heart. I hope that heart can eventually heal. I know it can. The person you loved would not want you to hurt forever.
