The first time I read this poem I did not realize it was meant for those who have lost their husbands. However, it can still apply to either spouse, and I was deeply touched when I read it. I just substituted "she" for "he" and it still rings true for how I am feeling.

I lost my wife after a long fought battle with lung cancer on July 10, 2012. She was 31 years old and was far too young to go. She leaves behind 3 wonderful sons who I am left to cared for. She was my world, and I feel completely lost without her. Its only been a week since she left me, but it feels like an eternity. I will miss her beautiful smile and her gentle touch. I love you so much, and will look forward to seeing you again one day.

I lost my precious husband on 30 April 2011. That day was a horrible day in my life and until now I can't forget that incident. He was at the wrong time and the wrong place. He was shot by the gold robber while he was waiting for his friend inside his car. I just cannot accept that he has left me and my 3 children. He was a loving, kind, and wonderful husband and father. I love him and I miss him so much. I don't want to loose him but God love him more than I do. I'll be seeing you again my love. I know that we'll be together someday. I love you so much and God bless your soul..

I meet him at the age of 14, I fell in love and from the beginning of our relationship he told me we will get married as soon as I turned 18 (he is 3 years older than me), we had fun growing up and living with adventures, he was the best thing that ever happened to me. No matter what I did or I said he supported me no matter what. He was the sweetest thing, not just to me but everyone, 2 weeks before I turned 18 he proposed and of course I said yes. We got married 2 months later. We planned everything fast but it was the best day of my entire life. We got married on our 3 year anniversary. I honestly was a very happy person for once. I loved his family, my family loved him and we were great. We celebrated our 1 year as married in universal studios. A month after that he started feeling sick and started losing weight, he didn't want to go to the Dr. One morning he woke up feeling sick and throwing up telling me he was dying , I rushed him to the ER, 3 days after being there the diagnosed him with leukemia m4/m5. After 2 rounds of chemo and 3 long weeks in the hospital, He feel asleep in death, it's now been 5 months and I still can't believe it , I love him and miss him. Everything has gone down hill from here. At age 19 as a widow already it kills me to know I wont see him again anytime soon, but I know I will some day due to the promise we have in Revelation 21:4. I'm so heart broken, I wish things were the way they were before.

It's been six years now since I lost my beloved husband, Wesley. We found out Dec. 2005 he had cancer and he passed away Nov. 3, 2006. He was everything to me. My best friend, lover, companion. We did everything together. We told each other "I love you" so many times that last year that he was sick. But we never really talked about his dying. I don't think I ever really thought that he would die. I couldn't let myself think it. He dropped from 140 lbs to 98 lbs. Even when the ambulance came I thought he'd be ok. I believe he died as he was being carried out of our home. The memory of his death is as clear today as the day he passed away. I don't know when grief ends if it ever does. I miss him every day. Still, I can only take comfort in knowing that I will see him again with our Lord.

My beautiful husband Ronnie died 5 weeks ago, 26 May 2012 was the day my world fell apart. He was only 55 and we have 4 gorgeous kids together and we were married for 33 years. he went to work on Friday as normal, came home, watched the football and went to bed, all the normal things he did on Friday night. In the early hours of Saturday morning he made a kind of coughing / spluttering sound I asked him if he was OK and he lifted his head up and I thought I was waking him up from his sleep, the next morning I couldn't wake him up. I will live with the regret that I didn't call emergency straight away, and wondering if I could have saved him. I wish I could say I'm sorry and thank him for being the most amazing husband and father we could have ever wanted. He was the most beautiful person, and my heart breaks everyday I wake up without him. How do you ever get over the loss? I don't think I will ever get over losing him. I will love you forever babe xxx

I lost my husband of 35 years on Dec. 1, 2011 in a car accident less than a mile from our home. I was driving home from our son's home and came upon the scene, recognized his car, and was told in the middle of the street that he was already gone. Our 2 sons just spent their first Father's Day without their Dad and I know they're hurting too. He was only 56; we were supposed to grow old together. My heart is shattered like so many others here. So sad to know there are so many of us. May God gives us strength.

I was in school it was 1975, his name was Steve, we went to the local disco together and still together 2012. In this time we married and had a child together.
Life together was like breathing, it was so natural,
2010 Steve got sick, had stomach cancer, lost so much weight, but after the operation of removing his stomach, Steve seen this as a 2nd chance and he BEAT the cancer without the post chemo
We made plans, had dreams,.
While Steve went to work on 18th April, I carried on with my normal duties in the home, went to bed
Then little did I know I was to be waken up by a phone call from Steve's company to say he was in terrible pain, and I needed to be there as soon as possible.
With one look at Steve I knew he was going to hospital, and He wasn't coming home again.
unfortunately I was right, and Steve was to be taken away from me and my son on April 20th 2012.
Today 15th June I still cannot accept that STEVE IS NOT coming back home.
Every day for 37 years I have spoken to him, we were a team united we thought until our old age.
Steve was 51. Not ready to leave me or this world.
I will never get over this, I feel lost, broken, and frightened.
I love and miss you so much Steve, Good Bye until was are reunited again (I know you are just keeping the bed warm for me).

I lost the love of my life on January 24 this year. He was involved in a motorbike accident. It's been almost 5 months but I still cry for him. We were together for 5 yrs. He was the only one for me. He is all I think about every single day! We had planned to get engaged this yr and even applied for a house. I don't know how to move on without him. I'm crying my eyes out typing this. I love him so much!!!!! I cant imagine being with someone else. He was only 24 when he passed away. No one can ever replace him. Faizrul, wait for me on the other side. I love you so much!!! Will be missing you till my last breathe.

I lost the most wonderful husband any woman would be proud to have, two weeks ago today in a Memorial Day weekend get away at a lake. I feel as if my heart sunk along with him. We spent a total of 4 years together and 2 married and they were the most happiest times of my adult life. He left me a little angel of 8 months to care and love for.. If it was not for him I don't know how I could go on. People keep telling me time will ease my pain, yet each day it hurts more and more.. what I wouldn't give to hear him tell me that he loved me one more time. My heart and soul are simply shattered. I'm Christian and I do believe God will reunite us one day. Until then, I will cherish the amazing life and love we shared and promise to raise our son to be a great man like him. My prayers are with you all and god bless.

I lost my husband on May 31, 2012. I went to watch my grandchildren and came home to find him laying on the kitchen floor. I was so devastated I didn't know whether it was a dream. He will always forever be in my heart. He has 5 children, 3 grandchildren whom he adopted, when he married me the year of 2001. I have two children who he adopted as his own. I only remember him as being such a great husband, grandfather, father, and worked very hard all his life.

I lost the love of my life, April 19th this year. The absolute worst day of my entire life. He was my soul mate, my favorite person I've ever met. We had our whole lives planned out together.. but his was cut short at the age of 22, 3 months before his 23rd birthday. He dropped me off at the airport on April 18th, to send me off to my grandmother's funeral in North Carolina. We said our goodbyes, kissed, said we loved each other, couldn't wait for me to come home in 3 days. I woke up the next morning... to find out Zac died in his sleep. Every day feels like a dream, like it's not real. The pain is so deep, I can't breathe at times. A part of me died that day he died. He was my soul mate, the one person who could get me through anything.. My heart and soul feels like there is a huge hole in it. They say that time heals... but every second feels longer and longer without my Zac. Every day feels like an eternity without him

I lost my 26 year old husband, best friend, soul mate, other half suddenly on March 28th 2012 after 6 years together. I miss him every day my life is forever changed.
by Liz Baer, Pelham
I lost my husband Sept. 14,2008 due to suicide. It broke my heart and I still hurt every day and think of him every day. I think I died when he died. He was my husband and best friend. We had no children, just each other. I am still numb with disbelief. He was so special to me and my heart aches every day. We were together 31 yrs. I will always love and miss him. I cry most every day. I pray I will see him again one day.

My husband, my best friend, my love, and baby girl's daddy died of a sudden massive heart attack on Friday, April 13th, 2012 (on Greek good Friday), he was only 46 and we were married for only 4 years this October. It happened so fast that I still can't fathom...it was a nice morning, I was feeding the baby when he collapsed the first time in the laundry room, then getting up and collapsing again in the kitchen in my arms, he passed away almost an hour later in the hospital. Our beautiful daughter will be one on June 2, he was so looking forward to celebrating her birthday. Niko was a wonderful person, honest, kind and most loving. This feeling of missing him and knowing I will never see him again breaks my heart every minute. Sometimes I have no idea what I am doing and saying. He was a wonderful daddy and so loved baby girl. I love him so much and miss him so much...a part of me died that day too. I love you Niko and will always be loving and thinking of you.

Thank you for sharing your poem and I am sorry for your loss. I lost my wonderful, funny, caring soulmate, best friend and husband Mike on 2 November 2009. Three weeks before his 46th birthday. Stolen from me by the big C.... in seven short weeks from diagnosis. A big part of me went with him that day and life can never be the same. I miss him intensely 24/7. Love and miss you my Smithy xxxx xxxxx (xxx)

My wonderful husband aged 33 passed away tragically on the 26th March 2012. A day before my birthday. Before he left home, he told me he had a huge surprise for me and guess what.. he did. He gave me a sealed box that could never be opened (HIS COFFIN). We have been together for 15 years and have a stunning 5 year old son.. I miss him terribly.. life will never go on!!!!

I lost my husband Rick of 22 years, suddenly and unexpectedly on April 6, 2008 to a massive heart attack. He was only 44 years old and on April 26th that year we would of celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary. The 4 year anniversary of his death is coming soon and it is a reminder of the most tragic day of my life! As much as I try, I will never forget coming home and finding him face down in my drive way. I wish he didn't have to go. My life has not been the same without him and it will never EVER be the same. I'm really not sure how I have made it this far without him. I love and miss you so much Rick!!

REASON FOR THE SEASONS IN OUR LIVES..
I lost my husband of 25 years in tragic car accident, his car was hit by a dump truck in January of 2009 , my sweetheart died instantly, did not have my last goodbye with him, until I saw him lying in peace in a hospital holding place where they had his body. I did say good bye to him there, and told him how grateful I was to have him in my life for all these years. I though all this tragedy I have become such a strong person in God, I did not know how strong I was till being strong was my only choice, and God was my strength and God was my choice, The journey was long, but with God on my side the road was smoother, at least for me it was. I have learned to trust God, he will never leave us nor forsake us. When we think God is so far from this pain we go through, that is when he is the closes to you. May God bless everyone.

March 13, 2011 will mark the 1st anniversary that I lost my husband and best friend to cancer. Mark and I were married for 23 years. I feel so lost and lonely without him. Some days are harder to get through than others but I try to remain strong for our 2 children that he loved and adored. I have a picture of him on our bed that I kiss every morning and night, a ritual to keep him alive in my mind. I talk to him everyday and I always tell him I love him. I know he is with our Heavenly Father and that's a comfort but at times my heart aches for him so bad, it's hard to breathe. I miss his smile, the sound of his voice, everything about him. I miss and love him so.

I lost the love of my life, my soulmate and my best friend Randy on May 31, 2011. We had a great day spending time with our 2 girls, ages 7 and 10. It was a normal day, mowing the yard, riding 4-wheelers, eating take-out pizza for dinner and having a pallet party watching movies and eating popcorn. Then a few hours later our lives completely turned upside down. My husband of 16 years at the age of 41 had a very unexpected massive heart attack and was gone from our lives. Our lives will never be the same. I lost my one and only and my girls lost the daddy that was their everything! Oh how he loved his 3 girls. Our hearts are filled with such sorrow, but knowing he is with Jesus waiting on us seems to bring a little comfort. Thank you for this poem...it means a lot to me and my girls.

Hi, this poem touched me, and so has many of the messages I've just read, I also lost my husband 9 years ago yesterday, We were both in a friends car, he was driving very fast he wouldn't slow down he was showing off, he hit a speed bump which was sticking out burst the front tire, the car then slammed into a number of parked cars, then hitting a lamppost and flipping the car into the air doing a barrel somersault, then landing back on its wheels, my partner last words to me was I love Carla, I watched him die in that night and also our best friend, we had a 4 year old boy, I was 21 he was 28, my life was shattered that night and even as I'm writing this I am crying. How long will I feel like this? The guilt is unbearable, I was and still in love with him, he was my first love.

I've lost my soulmate, June 01, 2011. in my arms...I tried CPR...but it was just his time to go home....he suffered dearly due to diabetic complications, kidneys, heart, eyesight, numbness in his limbs, he had a leg amputation, 3 times till they got to 6 inches below his knee. We have been blessed with a son {a little daddy} he is his clone...I love him dearly, but sometimes I look at my sons hands...{clone of daddy} and I will start aching in my heart...the tears start to fall..those hands comforted me loved me, tickled me, wiped my tears, when he was going through dialysis..he was so strong. I cry like a baby, but what I had was a God given gift, I was truly blessed!! I cry as I type these words in...the pain is unlike anything I've ever felt! There are no words to describe my deep pain, my heart broke into pieces that day, And I'm afraid there is not enough glue to put the pieces back, because the pieces are shattered! Time does not help....I will never understand why people tell me it will get better in time? Only memories linger, when he was still on earth...sincerely bittersweet.

I lost my fiance in a tragic accident, a building collapsed killing him. He was 49 years old . We had a love story of our own and we found each other again after 23 years to only be together for 2 years till his death. He was my soulmate, my love of my life and I was that to him. I don't know why this happened , I just don't understand , I'm so lost and confused I don't know how to move on from here. My heart is broken and no matter what happens I will never be the same . I'm so scared when I think about it that I just want to die myself. Where did you go Vince please tell me. I love you.

I lost my husband, July 23, 2011. He was 55 years old. We just went and bought a Harley. We were on our way home. I was following behind him. He merge over to let the other traffic on the interstate, hit the rumble bars on the side of the road, went into a ditch. Next thing I see is him laying in the ditch. People stopped to help. I heard them say slight pulse, snapped neck, no pulse. I lost it. We had our 6 year old granddaughter with us. I am so lost. I LOVE AND MISS HIM SO MUCH!!! We were married for 18 wonderful years. We had planned our vacation for 2012 and everything. I will go on that vacation and I know he will be right with me.

I lost my husband of 20 years on September 8th, 2010. He had been sick for 2 years. But I never took for granted that just because he was sick that I could have died before him. God took him first and no matter how prepared you may be, it will hit you like a ton of bricks. All sickness is not unto death, but God said different. I miss him very much. But because of my relationship with Jesus, I have been able to cope and maintain my sanity. Jesus was always first in our lives and because of this the pain is less intense and a little more bearable. I cry, I laugh, I hurt, I grieve...but God. I appreciate this poem, however, my husband was not my whole world, Jesus is. And I know that when I die I will see him and all my saved loved ones again. So they are not lost, just gone from this earth but never from our hearts and our minds and those memories will last a lifetime. Love you Honey..until we meet again!

Back in 1994 I lost my husband to a brain aneurysm. He was 40 years old. I would love to tell you it gets easier, but I can't. After 18 years I still miss and mourn for him. It's impossible to forget about someone who was so loving and true. And you shouldn't have to. If memories are all you have then you should cherish them, every day. Until I go to my grave I will carry him in my heart. That answers the last verse of the poem! I believe it's better to have had his love and then lost, than not at all. It sustains me. Love never dies is so true!!!!!! Sorry to hear of your losses which brought you to this sad but good poem.

My marriage to Dave was sometimes very difficult. It felt like we were so far apart at the end. He had heart failure, diabetes and kidney disease. We spent months in the hospital. Every day was long and hard and there were days I wished I was alone. The good times and the laughter were just memories. He passed away on June 25, 2011. I am numb. I feel lost. I wish I could talk to him just one more time. He was 56 years old. I always thought there was more time. . .

Jan. 11 2012 had totally changed my life. It was the day the police came to me and told me my husband was dead. They said it was an accident that he used that jack and the car fell on him and he died instantly. Words can't express on how I felt that day he was so good with cars and he was so young he was only 31 years on. He was just starting life. For a 25 year old to lose her husband at such a young age is hard although we've been together for seven years I still wish it could have been longer. I thank god for him bringing you into my life you helped me grow in so many ways. I love you Hun and I'm gonna treasure our memories forever may your life go on through your kids. Miss you

I lost my husband on January 27, 2008, Life was never the same any more. Everyday, I cried and was sad but talking to God everyday helped. When I go watch my little one played soccer sometimes I cried and wish that his dad were here to cheer him. I think God for giving me the chance to share 25 years with my Steve.
by Claudia Stevens, Flores
I lost my husband on December 17, 2011. He was only 35. We have four beautiful children, ages 14, 8, 6 & 4. We were together for 17 years. He went to bed on a Friday night and never woke up. It has been the worst 4 weeks of my life. I know these feelings will be here forever. I know I need to move forward with our children. There's not one minute of the day that I don't think of him. I know one day we will meet again and have eternity together.
Thank you for sharing this poem. It's beautiful

I lost my Loving Husband and Soulmate Rusty on Sept 22,2009. I was at work and got the dreaded call, He had a massive heart attack and passed in our sons arms. I felt like it was a nightmare and I just couldn't wake up. I feel so lost and empty without him, they say time heals a broken heart, but that is so untrue. He was not only my Husband but my best friend. He was the kindest and loving person one could ever meet, He was a dedicated Husband and Father. He always put others first and himself last. He treated me as his queen and was always telling me how much he loved me, He always greeted me after I had a long night at work and would give me massages to take away the stress and pain. It hurts to go on with life and him not being a part of it. I was so blessed to be his wife and to have what others take a life time to find what we shared. I will always love him and hold him dear to my heart and look forward for the day we can be reunited and spend eternity together.
by Alice
My loving husband passed away on Christmas Eve. He went in the hospital on November 27th, with what I would later find out was an inoperable glioma brain tumor. I thought we would be able to get treatments, and I would have some more time with him, but it wasn't to be. The oncologist told me he couldn't treat him and couldn't believe he was still alive. He passed away less than 3 days later. He was only 52, and we were only married 6 years, but he loved me completely and was so devoted. I can only say that I long to see him again in heaven, and until then, I pray for dreams of him.
by Sandy
My dear husband passed away Sept. 10 2011. He had a 2 year fight with cancer and watching him whittle down to nothing was so painful. The house screams gone and alone. We were married 34 years and he was always so good to me. Yes we had differences but who doesn't. So glad someone expresses the pain in poem. Only those who go through this knows. Looking forward to the day we are together again.
by Trisha, UK
I lost my soul mate and my heart on 6 Sept 2011. He fought so valiantly the cancer that consumed his body. I've never realized how much you could love until I met Ray we spent 4+ wonderful years together and did some amazing things - like many others I wish we'd talked more about his dying but I suspect like many others we didn't really believe it would happen. I miss him terribly and feel that my heart has been ripped out - do I want to continue without him well the answer is of course NO but that would go against his zest for life. So I will grieve and hope the good lord will re-unite us when my time comes.

This poem really touched me. I feel for all of you. I lost my husband, Vince, on May 19,2011. He is only 45. He died suddenly of a heart attack at work. He is a high school principal and I feel awful for everyone at his school. He is so loved and respected by all the kids. Its been a terrible loss for them also. His heart was truly in his work. He is the best at what he does. Life for me now is so sad and lonely. How do go on? The pain has gotten worse since the shock wore off. I can suggest support groups. For the young woman I'm starting a group in January for spouses 50 and younger. See if you can find a support group in the area you live in. It helps me to get all my thoughts out. God Bless

I lost my boyfriend of 11 years Dec. 8 2011. He left behind 3 boys that look up to him so much. Now I have to take on that role as mother and father. Everyday is a struggle for me. I think about him everyday. I wish he was here with me and the boy but I know in my heart that he is in a better place. He was only 25 years old when he died.

I miss my Husband who died in November. My heart aches. Life is not the same anymore. I died the day he died. I am a Christian so I will see him again one day, but life is cold and lonely. I walk around in circles -- I am numb. What a wonderful man. He was so special. I have great memories of our 20 years together. He died at the young age of 46. God makes no mistakes so I know it is his will. One second turns into one minute. I have not gotten to an hour yet. Life without him seems unbearable.

Tuesday, November 22, 2011 has become the worst day in my life. I left my husband to go to the doctor at 9 am and when I came back at 10:20 I found him lying face down in the garden, ambulance already called by neighbors. He was purple and cold and I couldn't find a pulse and I was screaming for the ambulance who came soon but could do nothing. It was an aneurysm from dissection of the aorta which took the love of my life away from both me and our son. The pain and loneliness are devastating and none of the tears I've shed have brought any comfort. He was the most wonderful, kind and patient man alive and his funeral was flooded by people who had hardly known him but were touched by his congeniality and kindness. He would always talk to people and listen to their pain, always genuinely interested and looking to help. He was a true soulmate and wonderful father to our 18 year old son.
I will miss him every single second of the rest of my life and can't wait to be with him again.
by Kate, Florida
I lost the most important person in my life on 9/27/11. We were married 16 years and together for 20. He died suddenly at the age of 45. We have a teenage daughter who will be going to college soon. What breaks my heart the most is all the milestones he will miss and the dreams that we had for our retirement years are shattered. I miss you, my love, I will never love anyone but you. I know you are at peace. You deserve it but knowing that I will have to live without you for decades is almost unbearable. I look forward to the day that we are reunited for good.

November 9th, 2006 was the worst nightmare I could possibly imagine. I lost my soul mate, best friend and the love of my life, the father to our two boys. To a motorcycle accident. It will be 5 years tomorrow and each second of every single day I ask why. That question will never really be answered but I still need to know, I guess I will in time. We were high school sweethearts and we had our whole future planned and in a blink of an eye it was taken. They say it gets easier with time but I don't see how. Our sons remind me of him so much. If it was not for them I wouldn't be as strong as I am today! This poem speaks so much to me thank you!

I loss my husband Nov 4, 2010. We got married 9 months earlier Jan 30, 2010. He died to this terrible thing called cancer. I remember praying and asking God to heal him. God healed him, he just didn't' leave him here. I thank God for the time that we shared. Just keep praying and trusting and cherish the time you did have with your husbands.

My darling Harry left me on August 9th 2011. He asked me to watch TV with him that evening, we had had a lovely day although his heart complaint had made him breathless and he had just come out of coronary care the day before. I had some jobs to do so did not sit with him. When I went back into the room a little while later, he had passed away in his chair. I will regret for ever not going and sitting with him, maybe I could have saved him. I am only half a person now and miss and love him so very much. God Bless my love, see you in the morning.

I lost my husband of 17 yrs 3 weeks ago due to motorcycle accident, he was 38 yrs old. We have a 5 year old son who is a carbon copy of his dad. He was a wonderful husband and father. I'm not sure how to live life without him. I love him so much. The day he died part of me died too. I'm so full of anger and keep asking myself why? I was with him on the motorcycle and suffered injuries but can't understand why I lived and he didn't. Keep asking myself why did that man have to run that red light that day.

Lost my husband APRIL 2011 after a 15 month battle with Leukemia at the age of 40. It has been 5 months now and I miss him A LOT! No one understands the pain that a person goes thru when you lose someone that close to your heart. I having good and bad days but going thru this journey ALONE is tough but I will get thru it. GOD BLESS you all!!

I just lost my husband of almost 24 years on Sept. 6th, 2011. He went in for an operation on May 5th and never got out. He had esophageal cancer and complications following surgery. I prayed and prayed and prayed for him to recover but it will never be. I have to raise my 17 year old alone now and also neither of us was working (I was laid off in April) and hubby did not have short term disability. Have to go through the motions and I am a mess! I miss him so! I have cried so much I cannot cry anymore. Please God help me get through this!

I lost my husband July 17, 2011. He died in a car accident and was only 23 years old! I loved him with my whole heart and miss him every day! He left behind not only me but our two daughters 3 and 4! He was a wonderful husband and father! I try to push my heart ache to the side so I can be strong for my girls but it does hurt... so much I can't bare it sometime! I don't understand why he is gone and not sure if I ever will. He was not only my husband but my best friend! I'm so lost and alone.

I lost my very wonderful, loving husband of six years on July 12, 2011. I miss him terribly. He was my soul-mate, my life...What I would do to have him back here with me.

My husband died a month ago and this is the poem that was read out at his funeral it explains how I feel. He was only 32 and we had been together for 15 years, we have two amazing children aged 6 and 8, I feel like a piece of me is missing and that I will never laugh again, he was my soulmate and I can't believe that he will never hold me again, I will always love him more than words can explain.

I lost my husband in Feb. 2011. A month later in March our daughter was born. I am only 21 years old and its extremely hard to be so young and not being able to share my life with him. I did everything I could to save him but apparently it was not enough. My daughter is a living miracle and keeps me going. I know that he had the chance to hold his baby-girl before she was sent to me and I can't wait to be in his arms again.

It will be one year on June 21st. My husband was my world and the one who showed me my own worth He was my best friend and the one I turned to for everything. He could make me laugh like nobody I know. Time has not made it better, and I am tired of hearing it will be okay. Everyone keeps saying what would he want you to do? I can't answer that cause he is the one I would turn to for the answer. I miss him more than any words could ever say!!

My wonderful gentle loving husband of 39 years, died almost three years ago, on June 3 2009. Almost without warning, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and a month to the day of diagnosis, he died in my arms. That month is a blur of knowing I was loosing him, not wanting to accept the fact, and struggling to hold onto my faith. We got him home for one precious week before he needed hospital care. Life now stretches out long and lonely, I didn't want to face life without him, but to honor his life I go on. 6 adult children mourn his loss too, and 14 grandchildren, one he never met in this life. It is hard not seeing him every day, hearing his laughter, his silly jokes, hearing him tell me he loves me. Plans we had for retirement have all gone now. I will hold him in my heart forever and a day.

I lost my husband, Freddie, on September 10, 2010, 10 days shy of his 52nd birthday. We were together for 26 years and married for 23. Cancer took him 11 months after we found out he had it. He was my life and I am lost without him. Every day it seems I miss him more. Every where I look I am reminded of him. All of the memories we made together do not make me feel better they only make me cry. I do not believe it will ever get easier. I miss my friend. He was a wonderful man with a heart of gold. He loved me and I loved him and we said we would be together forever.....I miss my Freddie.

This poem touched my heart. I lost my husband on March 1 2011. I woke up to fond him dead in the living room. The cause is still unknown. He was only 35 years old. Way too young to die. We had too much ahead of us for this to happen. I loved him with all my heart and soul. We had been together for 12 years. I never pictured growing old without him, never could have. He was my soulmate. My one true love. For now I can see nothing but growing older alone. We have a eight year old son who mosses his father dearly. I just can't understand why he had to leave so soon. I cry myself to sleep most night when I do sleep. The bed is so cold without him. I miss his voice, his laughter, his smile. I miss everything about him and I think I will live the rest of my life with a broken heart. I miss you so much Bobby. May we be together again one day soon.

My wonderful husband died in October 2010, the day before our 27th Wedding Anniversary. He gave me the happiest years of my life and I do not know how I am going to live without him. Nothing has any meaning to me any more and I find it difficult to be interested in anything. Our 27 years together feels like just 7 and now I only wish I had savored it more. But I know he would tell me that we were busy living life together and enjoying things and that now I must carry on without him and that he would hope I might find someone else.
I often feel he is here with me and then I am full of despair when I wonder whether it is simply my imagination. We were both scientists and, as such, I used to ask him if he felt there was something else after death. He would always answer by saying that we do not know everything which gives me hope that I will meet up with him again one day. I am trying to carry on in a way that would make him proud - until we can be together again.

The poem really touched my heart. I lost my 50 year old husband on Feb 25, 2011. At 5:30pm we were deciding where to go to dinner at 7:30pm he was dead. It seems a hole has opened up in my soul that can't be filled. Its been 4 weeks today and the pain is worse. Trying to cope with the loss seems unbearable. Will anything ever be OK again?

I lost my husband exactly 2 weeks ago of unknown causes. He had been fairly healthy until that fateful morning. We had been together since August of 2000. I have 2 boys that he adopted that love him. He completed me! Now I feel so empty! My life is completely upside down now! I miss and love him so much!

Tomorrow will be one year my beloved passed away. Left me only with his dog, Coco whom he loved dearly. Life is up side down since he left but I try to survive. He had his best of life for 12 years with me. We passed by lived in ICU and hospital for the first 5 years. He was diagnosed with Heart failure then in 2005 he was diagnosed with kidney failure so he had to do dialysis 3 times a week. We passed a lot of difficulties things during that but we happy together. I am so proud of him, even he's sick but he still help me in our mobile kitchen trailer. He was really tough guy. He was Marines and proud of that. So much bitterness in his life during childhood but I am happy he had a best life with me. He always thankful for the life together we had and feels blessed and joyful. He was very patient and very flexible person. Never a day passed by he said I love you to me. I never regret his passed away, because I know he had everything he want. Missed him and always love him

I lost my partner to cancer l1 months ago on March 12th 2010, the pain and loss doesn't go it just eases a little, so comforting to read these poems
by Margaret Jamieson, Australia
I lost my husband on 12th January 2011. His name was David Jamieson and he was 50 years young.
I would have to say that this has just been the most dreadful time of my life. I loved and still love him so much and I can't come to terms with him not being here.
The mornings are by far the worst. He's not here in our bed and to wake up to anymore.
I miss my husband, my man, best friend, soul mate so very, very much and I just can't believe all of this. I am consumed with the thought that I will never see him again and am in denial.
In the last 5 weeks / 35 days I have cried a sea of tears each day and I wonder what life will be like as I never imagined a day without him in it.
There is some comfort in that he was unconscious when he went. I was with him when he was still conscious and, thank god, was able to kiss him, tell him I loved him and that I would stay until he woke up. It never happened and my funny, loving & handsome husband was taken from me far, far too soon.
by Pat Martin, Boothwyn
I lost my husband on 3/25/2010. We were together for 40 years and we had 4 beautiful children. He went in the hospital with pneumonia and wound up with MRSA. My children brought him home and within 12 hours he was gone. No one knows what I am going through I lost the love of my life. How do you continue on when that person is no longer there for you. I miss his smell and hugs if I could just have one more hug. I know that he is with me but I can't wait for the day that I will be with him again.

I lost my husband of 18 years December 26,2010. Came home work to find him gone to be with God. I miss him with every beat of my heart. I know I must go on but sometimes its hard. But I know when I go he will be waiting with opens arms.
by Tiss, Buenos Aires
I lost him on November 11, after 30 years of true love and a full happiness. He died of cancer and God gave me the grace of being with him when it happened, and before that making everybody say goodbye. We never directly talked about his upcoming death, and I am regretting it now. I knew that he felt full accomplished in life and he preferred his death to pass thru age and illness. He was 76. I don't know how to go ahead. I am also tired of people telling me that time will ease my pain. I need to find a purpose to go on living. We had many projects in common, many dreams to make true but I have no energy.
I am trying to start a spiritual path with more compassion. We were true twin souls, we just mirrored one to another most of the time. I always thought what I would do when he left me (he was 20 years older) and I always thought that I would immediately die. But I am still here, trying to employ my energy on a spiritual search to find out where is he now and how will I reach him.

I lost my husband of 35 years on August 7, 2010 after a 2 1/2 year battle with heart failure. I watched the love of my life slip away. I feel broken and most times I don't even know what I'm doing! Grief is so consuming! I know he is no longer in pain and that gives me peace. My Tom was everything to me and I know that when it's my time to leave he'll be there waiting for me and that is so comforting to me. I no longer fear death cause my beloved husband will be waiting for me. I'll love him forever!

I lost my husband of 40 years 2 months ago and the pain in my heart is unbearable. The poem hits home with my feelings. I get tired of people telling me that time will ease my pain. Time is just another day without him. He was, is and will always be the love of my life.

This poem touched me a whole lot I just lost my husband December 9 2010. He was my everything he and I have 6 kids together I am truely going to miss him a lot. This poem explains exactly how I feel right now and it really touched my heart to read it.
by Raychel, Australia
I am lucky enough to not have lost a loved one yet, but the thought of it terrifies me. I have finally met the man of my dreams, he has swept me off my feet and I never knew it was possible to be so intensely in love with someone. Your poem has touched me, as did Kathleen's comment (because Hans is my boyfriend's name also).
May all of your loved ones rest in peace and be waiting to take your hand when your time comes.
by Cassie, Ohio
I lost my husband on October 8, 2010, and was thrown into this whole new life. We have 3 beautiful boys together and that's what I have left of him. It hurts very much knowing he is no longer with us. I love and miss him so much.
by Sissy, Oregon
I haven't lost him yet, but everyday he is getting weaker and the time feels near. I have no words of how I am feeling I never been like this before. We have been married for 37 yrs. my life has always included him and without him it seems like I will not have a life. I am so tired and numb and scared my mind is trying to find answers for how can I help him or how can I go on without him. And I am feeling like this when I can look up and see him resting on the bed as I sit by him I can't imagine how it will be when he is gone.
by Hope, Quincy
Well my husband past away about 2 months ago. We had our ups and downs but I loved him more than anything in the world. We have a 8 1/2 month old baby girl together and she is what I have left of him. We have been together for like 2 1/2 years and I love him with all my heart and I miss him a lot.

My Darling Husband Hans,
I lost my husband on April 28th 2010 he was everything to me. He was my rock he was fighting for over 3 years with his diabetes and had had 2 triple bypasses with in 10 years. He was everything to me. I miss his voice calling my name, I miss his silly jokes, his songs he would write to me. He was so very good to me. Yes we had our arguments sometimes silly. But always would tell each other I love you. For the pass 2 years I could see how weak he was getting. And it would break my heart. I don't think anyone especially our sons would believe how sick he was. He was a proud man and would not say how sick he was.
I would give anything just to hear his voice and smiling face and greeting me at the front door when I came home from work. My heart is breaking everyday I miss him so very much. I will never find anyone like him ever. For 36 years he was in my heart. And I am waiting to be at his side once again.
by Thornton CO
I lost my husband in Dec of 2009 he never woke up one night, and the next morning I called to him to wake up and me and my 9 year old daughter had to face the reality of God taking him back home to Heaven, the reality hurts so much everyday, it's been 4 months and I still have not made sense of it. I miss him more everyday, I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. THANK YOU
