Some days you just try to shut off your brain and simply put one foot in front of the other. Even after 3 years when something happens that is good, my first thought is about telling it to her and then reality kicks my ass.............to live with someone who truly loves you and you love in return is a gift that is to be cherished.

I am a year and a half into the loss of my wife of 31 1/2 years, I am just now starting to get my head right. It has been and is the worst thing I have ever had to go through. Prayers for all who have lost a spouse.
