how do you get over a husband that passes away?

Answer 1

you never really truly get over it. with time, it doesn't hurt as much, but it still hurts nonetheless. friends and family can help. and, with enough time, you can start to move on, maybe even find someone you can share your heart with again (yes, it can happen, though it might not seem like it at the moment)

Answer 2

I don't think anyone gets over the death someone they love. But you must fill your thoughts with the good things that this person has done in your life. In your case he was your husband and it would have left a large hole in your soul. You will find this is a part of you that will never be filled by any natural means. So look beyond your present situation and search out something you can focus on, maybe an activity where you can mix with other people. Try to avoid pubs and clubs but look for interest clubs maybe sports orientated or craft groups. This will depend on your age and above all find God and ask Jesus to fill you heart, he will be the only one that will fill the hole. This doesn't mean that you will forget your husband or the pain of loosing him will go away but you wont be alone in your time of grief, I say in your time of grief because it will pass and you will find strength to move on. Keep smiling :)

Answer 3

I will tell you now that I have never lost a husband--but I did watch my mother lose hers (and my father) when I was ten. It's not easy to move on and you will never "get over them" but it's the little things that count. Don't feel like you need to push everything away at once now that he's gone, but don't feel guilty for doing so either--do what you feel is right and take it slow. Only take off your rings when you feel that you can do so without feeling like you are pulling off a part of you--don't pawn them, but keep it in a jewlery box. Be careful when it comes to giving or throwing things away. The most important thing is, don't feel like you can't cry--ever! I watched my mother cry while making supper, while sitting down and watching tv, and even while getting us off to school--it's never wrong to cry and you should until you don't feel that you have to any more. That's the real thing--cry until you find someone else that is whilling to catch your tears

Answer 4

You will never get over him. He was a big part of your life. You don't forget anything or anyone that has something strong to do in your life. The memory will always be there. Just seek the Lord and pray that He will comfort and guide you in this difficult time.

If you don't pray, I am sorry. Religion is a choice not a demand and it is my choice to believe.

God bless you on your journey..

Answer 5

You will never be completely over him, there will always be something that will remind you of him. But just remember, we are only here for a short time, and someday you will see him again. Just know he is in a better place, and would want you to be happy. And there is only one thing you can do that will help : PRAY...

Answer 6

Well you can't really get over a person that passes away in your family. I lost my grandfather last year. I loved him so much. I still remember him and cry about him sometimes. You just get used to them not being around anymore but you still get reminded of them day and night. That is still ok. I like memories of my grandfather

Answer 7

Time. And even then it doesn't go away, just gets to a level that you can deal with. My mom went to support groups for widowed persons after my dad died. She had to try a few before she found one that she liked. In the end, she found one that was more of a support group and one that was more of a social group. She visited other people who had just lost spouses, which I think helped her as much as it helped the other person. People who haven't lost a spouse (even if they lost the same person) just can't understand. We knew that and supported her in finding people who she could talk to. My dad died 12 yrs ago. My mom has remarried (met my step-dad, a great guy, in one of the groups) and is doing really well. I know that groups aren't for everybody, but its something to consider. Hang in there!

Answer 8

First of all, my deepest condolences.
You don't get over it ever hon..but you learn to live WITH it..it changes you forever, but you do go on (as he would want you to)
Get to a grief and bereavement center in your area - they will get you counseling or into a group of others your own age who have lost their husbands/wives too and know truly how you feel.

Answer 9

I'm sorry for your loss, but only time will help. Find things to do with friends when you are ready, lunch, movies, travel, etc. Don't sit home alone, volunteer at a museum, or school.

Answer 10

I have dealt with the death of a loved one 3 times already (im barely 17). All i can say is that you need to give yourself time to heal. It won't be easy of course, but with time your grief will subside and you will be able to feel like you can enjoy life again. if you need to you can even talk to a close friend or relative about your feelings of grief, talking about these emotions helps you to deal with them.
