  Stan, Thank you for the words of encouragement. I am trying to do that, day by day, step by step. I am really finding some very kind people on this site and lots of caring. I know it's helping me every day. Take care and have a good day.

  I am so sorry you are in such pain. Now that the shock is wearing off, the pain can feel greater. At least that is what I found. Go ahead and feel it. You love Vick with all your heart and deserve to mourn her the same way. As the great prophet Kahlil Gibran stated, “The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.” I am still waiting to find the joy but know that others have gone before me and found it. I am not sure where or how, but hope and believe it will come in its time. Until then, I will wait – sometimes patiently and other times with no patience what so ever.
  There is only one of you now to do double the work. In normal circumstances that is difficult. Now it can seem impossible. As I always say, be gentle with yourself and stop expecting so much. You are deep in grief for the love of your life. That alone is exhausting. As hawg said, sometimes it is better not to look too far ahead. One day, one hour, one minute is enough.
  The hardest part for me has been the constant letting go. First we are forced to let go of the one we love, then we slowly are forced to let go of our hopes, dreams and the future we had planned. And that is just the beginning. It is a constant letting go which goes on for months if not years. And I HATE it!!! I fought it for as long as I could and then realized that it took too much energy and had to let go. I am slowly learning to accept what is. I still don’t like it and probably never will, but it is what it is. Nothing will bring Tom back.
  You have the faith and are much stronger than you think, my friend. Never doubt that. Mourn Vicki as you need to because she deserves it. As do you. Great love means there will be great sorrow but better to have experience that love and lost it than never to have had it at all. Hugs, peace & prayers, Barb

  Thank you for your words of kindness. I try to be thankful that I did get some time with my husband knowing that he didnt have long to live, but I think I was running on adrenaline and numb to what was really happening to our family. We are very fortunate he did not have to suffer long. I am very sorry to hear about your wife. That is nice knowing that you were with her. Everything happens for a reason, right? Have a good week. God Bless and lots of big hugs -- Tammy

  What a great post! Glad things are going well. Life here is stressful. Am with colleagues this week learning a new software that we will be implementing shortly. Egos are everywhere n that is so not my world these days. Life is too short for those games n frankly, I just don't have the energy. We are together 12-14 hrs a day. It's only Monday n I've had enough. It's going to be a long week. I can use all the prayers I can get! Thanks my friend n have a great week! BTW, I watched Ice Age just last week n that squirrel had me laughing out loud! It is a great analogy for our journey with grief. Peace my friend! Barb
