E34: I miss having sex
A grieving husband misses the physical intimacy he shared with his wife, who recently died from cancer.
Listen to This Episode:
Dear Grief Guide,
I lost my wife of 32 years a month ago to breast cancer. We had a close, intimate relationship and were physically affectionate often. Now, I haven’t had any sexual intimacy for two months, and I feel like I am starving for it.
This craving is adding another layer to my grief, making me feel even more isolated and alone. I don’t know how to navigate this aspect of my loss or how to address these feelings in a healthy way. It feels wrong to even think about moving on, but the loneliness I physically feel is overwhelming.
Do you have any ideas on how to cope with this and find some balance?
Signed,
Starving for Connection
