Hi! I just stumbled on DS last night, actually looking for online support for widows/widowers. I recently became a widow a little over 2 months ago. My husband,(also best friend, soul mate, lover and father of our 2 boys) died of pancreatic cancer. We were married a few days short of 33 yrs. His funeral was on our wedding anniversary. I also have fibromyalgia.
This site looks incredible, one that gives alot of support, where folks understand. I don't say much if I happen to be hurting, since those who don't suffer from fibro don't understand.
The high humidity really affects me and aggravates my fibro. Otherwise, usually the only time I have discomfort is at the end of the day.
Lately, though, some days have been rough. The humidity has been up and I'm dealing with the loss of my husband. I'm glad that I came across this site. Take care everyone...Nancy

Hi Nancy and welcome to the group here. I am really sorry to hear about the loss of your husband know how hard that can be. My heart goes out to you.

I lost my first husband when I was 24 we had 4 sons. Lost my second husband in 2004 we were married 32 years and had a daughter and son. Plus 6 stepchildren 2 sons and 4 daughters. I also live in Mn but the northern part of the state.

I am happy your son is able to stay with you during these early days of your loss means allot to have family around and their support.
