    My 81 yr old husband died 3 weeks ago. I am selling our property as I need to move closer to family. It has been very hard cleaning out my husbands clothes, shoes, personal effects effects as well as his tools and yard equipment. I am tired and overwhelmed. I know as time passes, things will get easier but right now its horrible.

    You’ve definitely hit the nail on the head. My husband passed away 11 months ago from lung cancer. All the things you mentioned are so true especially the sleep pattern. You’re awesome 👏🏼 thanks 🙏 for sharing 🙏

    Spot on. I lost my 70 year old husband 3 months ago. The emotional roller coaster is just horrible. And my once very healthy eating habits have disappeared. And I could care less. It’s too painful to cook. Thanks for sharing.

    My husband would have been 82 this year. I wish he hadn't smoked - he'd probably still be here! :(

    Wow, you hit the nail on the head on this video!! it's been 10 years for me being a widow and everything you said happened to me. From being sleep-deprived, emotional one minute and fine the next to going through the drive-through way too much. Thank you so much. So many times I felt all alone and I sure wish I'd known about your videos back then.

    Don't be too hard on yourself. Don't give up.

    Honestly, the first year for me is just a blur. It's only been 3 years now but the first was zombie mode. Walking around aimlessly, being in denial.

    I'm a 61 year old widower of 16 months now. I'm just now starting to think about relationships but not nearly ready for one yet. Not sure how long it will take - maybe everyone is different.

    It’s been 10 months, and I’ve decided to move 3 states away. I’m so scared to sell my house and buy another all by myself

      Once your house is sold you can never get it back. Please consider renting it for a year and in turn you rent in your new area for a year. This gives you time to check the state out and see if you really like it.
