When I lost my husband of 22 years in 2002 to ALS, the thing I missed most was our time spent outdoors, we did everything together, Concerts, Canoeing, Camping, Hiking, Backpacking.! I'm still searching for that someone

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.My late partner and I also did a lot of outdoor things. We did a lot of trail building and land maintenance which I still do but somehow it doesn't feel the same.

i know the feeling. I lost my wife to ALS, which is particularly cruel because a diagnosis is a death sentence. there is no remission, no cure.

My mom died of the same damn disease at least 5 years before my husband was diagnosed, so I knew what to expect. It was horrible, and I wanted to die too !
@joantheloon the grieving begins with the diagnosis because the outcome is a foregone conclusion. the feelinh of helplessness is overwhelming because there's nothing you can do
@TheDoubter I don't think it was at the diagnoses, but he died in my eyes, long before his actual death. Going from a very active person to being in a wheelchair that he controlled with his chin via a "stick", and then he had all his care, including hospice, really took it's toll on me.
good luck in your search;what I miss most after my girlfriend passed last year is having someone to talk to,it is often very lonely in my house
