Loss of my beloved man.

10 years ago

It´s not easy to describe my experience and yet in a foreign language I try to,but that´s the reason why I registered on this page.I´ll be happy to share with others feeling tremendous pain and grief.It´s been not long ago and it still hurts.I´ve heard so many stories,but nothing such a kind as mine.It was the last time I saw my beloved man early in the morning,smiling,kissing and talking to one another unforgettable words full of undying love.3 days later the phone rang.It was his brother telling me:"Jan is dead."My heart broke into small pieces,even now the tears are falling from my eyes.At that moment I was speaking to my beloved Jan,telling him everything from the bottom of my heart,desperately crying and hoping he does hear me,and he did.After hour rang a message from my mobile,so I entered the room we were sleeping 3 days ago to see and the sender was my beloved Jan,but message was empty.I think he was there while I was crying in the kitchen and let me know this way,so I entered the bedroom and at that moment I got the most beautiful evidence of his immortal love,because on the sheet of my bed was engraved a big heart.I´m sure he´s been by my side all the time,helping me hold on my way to home he´s waiting for me to come.I had to make a picture to believe it wasn´t just a dream.I found a place I can say a few words for my beloved deceased,so I created my Memorial book dedicated to my beloved Jan.I can recommend everyone who is suffering and wants to do something for his beloved deceased person he´s thinking of.
Thanks a lot for reading these words and everyone who has an understanding heart.
I need to get to know those people which experienced a loss of beloved man or woman.
I enjoy this forum to find my spiritual family here and send to all of you the warm greetings from Slovakia.

Janka, I am not sure if you believe in God, but this is why we are not to love anything in this world more than God, even people, because everything in this world is not safe and is temporary, and if we place all our love and hope in this world we will inevitably be disappointed. Your love for your husband was a wonderful thing, but there is a love even more important.

Grief takes a while to get over though. They say it takes about 4 years, and it will still take some psychological adjustment for many years after that.

Dear Janka -- it will take a long time. I don't know when the days will start to feel livable for you but I always think, my mother went through this and I will too. The image of the heart on the bed is one I have read before somewhere. it's very lovely and you are fortunate to have received that message.

What a touching and loving thing for you to do; your husband is a very lucky man. I too am not from your area but would think some of the smaller tea roses like Westside Rose Cream Tea would be wonderful; it blooms all the time and is bushy with lovely large blooms. There are wonderful climbers like Reve d'Or which bloom practically all the time. Cl. Pinkie is a darling rose you might consider. I hope that people from your area will chime in to help you with this wonderful project. The old roses like teas, Chinas and noisettes are beautiful and romantic, and will actually do better than many modern roses in terms of vigor and disease resistance. Chamblee's is a good on-line vendor in your part of the country. Have a look at their site and find some things you like and then you can always come back to the forum to ask advice about these. This is a wonderful project you're undertaking and we'd love to help you make it something beautiful, something your wonderful mother-in-law would have appreciated, and a peaceful spot for your husband to spend time being with her.

I've had to put down two cats this month, Professor Hyssop, who had multiple illnesses and is now buried beneath Professeur Emile Perrot, and my beloved Marlena, who was 21 years old. Marlena was a "blue" like your Zeus. She has a little garden of two Lili Marlena's, Marie Bugnet (because she had silver toes), a Phyllis Bide that climbs into the smoke tree. Marlena raised countess kittens, skunks, bunnies--and human hearts. She hated it when people got angry and would weave back and forth until they lowered their voices. She guarded my showers, she travelled with me, lived in three countries and visited all but five states. I feel completely orphaned, and so, I think, do my remaining 14 other cats. I think the difference between losing a person (except a child) and a critter, is that with people there is always bagagge: good times and bad, hidden agendas, obligations, expectations, things you both coulda/woulda/shoulda done differently. With critters, there's just love and mutual trust. I've lost both my parents in the last 2 1/2 years and four cats, two of whom, Aidan and Marlena, were the rocks to which I'd tied the kite strings of my life (to paraphrase F. Scott Fitzgerald). I was very close to my parents, but I grieve more for my kitties. Thank you, Robert, and everyone else for opening your hearts. I raised Pablo from a bottle. Even now, when he is 10 years old, whenever he wants a little snack or a cuddle, he puts his paws around my neck and sucks on my throat until I find him a "special" or kiss his tummy.

Hi, Carolyn, it's me sylviatexas from TMH. I'm so sorry. This forum is a wonderful place that has a lot of love & compassion & experience, & I'm sure you'll get priceless insights. One thing that I've learned, over & over, is that one of the first things we experience after a loss is a sense of being at sea, not recognizing familiar landmarks, a feeling that somehow *we've* changed & therefore everything else has changed. & I think that makes sense. You were married for many many years, & you lived & breathed as part of a partnership, a critter with 2 pairs of legs, yours & his. Now you're walking on only your own 2 legs, which is a very large adjustment in itself, & you're doing it at a time when you're grief-stricken & hurting. It's wonderful that you have the support you have, but it can't make everything "right" all at once; nothing can do that, only time will ease the blinding nature of the hurt. I think one of the best things to do emotionally is to get down on your knees & give thanks that you had such a loving partner & that you got to keep him so long. One of the best things to do physically is to move; walk, jog, hike, ride a bicycle, exercise with a video if you can't get out to exercise with a live class (the more things you can do with other people, the better). Do things, keep busy, share yourself & your caring & your wisdom with everybody you can. The *best* thing I can think of is to remind yourself that you are in a way more than yourself; you're the self that grew out of your union with your dear husband. In that respect, you hold a little piece of him here on this earth, a little piece of goodness that you can share with others. I wish you the very best.

CORRECTION: I'm sorry to confuse anyone by posting my not-most-current layout in pictures 1 and 2 (still has my old idea of my gorgeous copper hood). --> I have 5 windows and my sink is centered on the middle window. In the 3rd picture (of me at the sink), you can barely see the left sconce between my most left window and the 2nd window. I think I didn't have the current layouts saved in Shutterfly to grab/post here. -- In case anyone wants to the right side of my layout: scroll to 2nd picture. Amanda's not finished pix of hood wall Had to go w/ 42" Kobe hood instead of my gorgeous copper (blowers, etc just didn't work/fit). Amanda

Janka, I was just scrolling to have something to do and happened to read your post. I am so sorry in the loss of your love. Believe me, I know your pain. I have lost both of my dear husbands....one from a highway accident and the other from a heart attack.

Life as you knew it will never be the same...but as the years go by, it does get easier to endure. Give yourself time to grieve...and there is no wrong way to grieve...so do it your way, but hold on to your precious memories and hold them close.

Blessings!

Loss of my beloved man.
