My wife died at 63 age. I am 67, how to live ?

1 step at a time ⌚ - chill and live

am 64. My wife died 6 years ago after being married for 23 1/2 years and was together for 2 years before that. Losing someone like that tears every part of you in shreds.

One day at a time, turns into one week, one month. I am not religious but I do believe I am here for a purpose. Maybe my step daughter, maybe for a reason I don't know yet. I'm sure someone thinks of you, cares for you. That's reason enough to go on.

You loss your wife, and you feel sad and lonely. And you probably think your life has no meaning. Your wife would want you to be happy. If you have friends, do things with them. Do things that interest you. You can take a class (photography, painting, creative writing, etc.). Join a book club. Also, do the simple things in life (walk in the park, watch the ducks in a pond, etc.) You will always have memories of your wife. Memories never die.

I can tell you were close,there's no long story given and I feel empathy towards what grief you have.The world just flashes by you in a few moments.

Its not easy but I'm sure you'll adjust by going to social clubs...do go it will be good for your soul ,meet people and don't become bound by negative thinking on your own that's not the way forward..You must talk .

I'm so sorry to hear this, deepak. :(

She will want you to be happy. I want you to be happy but this is really tough...try to keep as active as possible and dont be afraid to show your emotions to those you trust. You need to grieve first.

Look for lots of info online about losing a loved one and consider joining a support group in your area for people who are in your position.

Spend the rest of the time you have left on earth honouring her memory. Remember, she is still with you, deepak :D

Hang out with friends and relatives. Go to church. Take up a new sport or keep playing one you already do. Take up new hobbies. Volunteer. Travel. Go back to school. Join local groups....art league, theater etc.
