You are correct it is tissues! I didn't think of sympathy, skipped right over it, had more sympathy than…

I wanted to send a box of tissues, I need then all the time still, but of all the icons they have there…

I wish I could understand what happened.
Nothing falls apart so quickly...
It fades ever so slowly,

Well I finally did it, I went to see my husband's agent today. It took me 8 months to face his last paintings, I brought them all …
Thank you for the hug and the kind words of support. The hug helped and I got a chuckle about the tissues. Now that you mentioned it, I was wondering what the icon above sympathy was. It does look like a box of tissue. What do you think. I have moved on to chocolate, which I am eating. John was a diabetic and he loved chocolate. He would sneak candy in the house. I hardly ate the candy because that was not my weakness. I guess I am eating chocolate now because it was his favorite. Isn't grief strange? Lots of Love, Sandy
I think it was very courageous of you to post and ask for advice. You reached out. I also see that as the first step to your "new normal" It is easier to sit in the chair and not post. Keep it up. You really are not alone. Look at all of us here. We are in the same place you are. The only way any of us will make is by leaning on each other.
Thanks for the e-mail. I think you have had a harder road to travel than me. Thanks for sharing. Hope you will feel a bit better soon. laurabp
i'm so sorry about your loss and i hope you are doing ok - i know that this is a difficult time, and no amount of time will make it "good" - but hang in there and know that others understand what you are going through.
I've known my husband since I was 14, and now I'm 53. I get so tired of hearing, "You're so young, you have your whole life ahead of you." So, what's that mean? I have to jump up and get on with it? Thank you very much but I'll do it my way, not your way.
Some people should keep their big mouth shut.
Or I'm asked how I'm doing. And it's, well, do you think it's because of this? Or should you get a cat or a dog? Gosh, it's all enough to make your head spin.
I wanted to love my husband, and I wanted to get married. But neither of us asked for this, so just leave me alone and I'll find my own way.
I know how you feel. I really do. I was severely depressed in 1978 and I came out of it with counseling. Better and stronger. I guess this works the same way, but knowing you have to go on without your husband and you had no choice in the matter is a hard pill to swallow and to accept. Period.
My husband died May 25th 2008 of brain cancer. He lived only 11 days after they found the tumor, it was thought to be a bleeding stroke. He had suffered 28 clotting stroke over the last 16 years. I knew him since I was 3 years old and now at 52 I am alone. The person who new all my thoughts and dreams for 49 years is gone, I don't know how to survive this.
