    • About Me

      My husband died in a motorcycle accident in March 2007. I am adjusting to life without him but I have not gotten to the point yet where I enjoy life but at least I am living it and working on finding myself.

      From bsbrm1 Wednesday

      Thanks for your comment on "feeling guilt while enjoying life alone." It's just so tough and I am doing the best I can each and every day -- but it's never going to be quite the same -- I guess. Hugs to you, Barbara

      Type: Loss of a Partner/Spouse
