I am alone with husband. Parents dead. Children don't speak to me. Not in good health. Finding it difficult to continue living. Derp hurt and grief and questions -- why my kids aren't there for me.
Do you have any idea why your kids don't speak to you? Does your husband have any idea? Really, only uyou can answer why you kids are not there for you.
Maybe some therapy will help you workout what happened to your relationship with your kids.
Condolences on your loss and that you're feeling so alone. But, as Geaton777 said, there's plenty of support right around you.
I hope you're finding solace in your belief system. That can make a huge difference in our outlook and coping ability for all that life throws at us.
How Can I Live With My Grief? is one chapter from a brochure, When Someone You Love Dies, condenses the practical wisdom of grief counselors with comfort from the Scriptures. It's at www.jw.org/en/library/books/when-someone-dies/coping-with-grief.
And it sounds like you could use support with caring for yourself and hubbie. Your local AoA can help with resources, but your doctor should have a social worker working with you. Thanks for coming here; it's a good place for support, too.
I'm so sorry to read about your circumstances. There are others on this forum who can relate. May I recommend that you search for local grief support groups that are often held in area churches (you don't need to be a member to attend). Many churches have sliding-scale fee counseling services as well. There are also online "counseling" services but I've never used one. Keep looking until you find a loccal group you feel comfortable in.
You may also contact your local area's Agency on Aging for counseling services. May you receive peace in your heart!
