Hello All..... I am in need of some advice from those who have lost a spouse.... how do i HELP my sister when her worse time of the day is when SHE WAKES and then realizes that her LOVED ONE is no more and never will be again.

While they were not legally married.... he was her common law husband for 10 years.

Thanks...

hi Rhapsody. I lost a husband although we were seperated I loved him all the same. The situation is a little different since your sisters loss was due to a car accident and mine was an illness. You need to get her into a support group for spouses that have lost spouses. Even though they were not married it is the same I think. The lived together right? It is difficult to realize they won't be coming home again. Tell her to remember the good times and that he would not want her to grieve along time. He would want her to do what she needs to then start moving on. It has only been a couple of weeks so this is still really new to her, don't push. she has to do this in her own time but yes still remind her to remember those good times. I have you and her in my prayers.

I am so sorry for your sister's loss. How horrible.

YES.... I agree that her healing process is very new & raw at this moment in time and that no one should ever push another into healing - for we all go about it differently and at different speeds / levels (and) while I do know of the feelings of losing ones CHILD (my sister and I share this knowledge together) - I do not know how it personally feels to loose ones Lover, Spouse, Friend and Life Long Companion.... for I still have my husband to talk to and to return home to.

From the sounds of it, it appears as though I am doing all that I can possibly do for my sister right now.... I will continue to let her talk as she needs (and is able to) and to be here to hold her as she cries - and I will always offer my PRAYERS up to GOD for her.

Thanks for the replies.....
