I lost my husband on 3/5/24 unexpectedly. We were together for 37 years. I hate when people say you are being strong or when they tell my adult children that they must be strong for me. So, if they cry does that mean they are not strong. Why are people so uncomfortable with showing their emotions. I am blessed to have a neighbor/friend that allows me to cry and just hold me and says let it out. There are no words that will help ease my pain, but having someone that will just let you cry is very helpful.

My experience is very similar. My husband of 45 years died suddenly and unexpectedly, after a full and busy week, on May 11th 2024, the day that he was looking forward to his first sail of the season, having just launched his boat. He was so active with so much more to give. I have not only lost him, I have lost half of myself, and our future together. Our young grandchildren have lost their funny, generous, knowledgeable Grampops. The heartache feels unbearable at times.

Thank you Sarah, I do struggle with the phrase, You are Stronger, I do not take that as a compliment, I feel, I am far from strong. Its been 13 months now since my sweetheart passed, I understand people mean well. It is just sooooo hard sometimes.

You are right its the toughest challenge to be authentic in all the pain of grief yet at the same time be able to function in a world that largely is grief illiterate.. your loss matters and is very recent so raw.. be gentle with yourself x sending love ❤️

I lost my partner almost 4 months ago and a coworker said “…I’m strong. And I’m going to be ok.” I understood that she meant well. My worker went through a similar experience where she lost her husband about 3-4 years ago. I feel that most people don’t really know what to say in this type of situation and just wanted to encourage me to carry on.

Yes, i do believe its said as an encouragement with no malice but it still can be tough to hear “you are so strong” when you're falling apart and it can feel like your grief is invisible or misunderstood. Sending love & comfort x
