Help4Widow, So sorry for your loss of your husband.
Some who have cared for their husbands are still here, posting and helping others. Make yourself known by coming back here, and yes, a grief support group can put you with others going through similar sorrow, and the key is that you won't feel so alone.
Cdnreader, Thank you and you are welcome! However, I cannot take credit for the work of so many other community members here starting so many threads for themselves and to help others journeying through a difficult time after loss, and resulting in making a good life for themselves.
Some former caregivers have exemplary stories, and if you stick around long enough, you will meet them, and they may be able to help you not to feel so all alone!
Hoping each day gets better for you, and the pain lessens as you remember the good days of a lifetime knowing your Dad. Sorry that you are missing him.
Help4Widow, My condolences for your loss. You have come to the right place!
