HOPEFUL HEARTS...LIVING AGAIN AFTER THE LOSS Community Group
We are a group of people who have grieved the loss of a spouse, partner, or lover and are searching for a life without our mate. Some looking for their own identity as an individual or finding a life for themself. Some looking for companionship or a serious relationship with someone new. And some just feeling lost and unsure.

A few days ago I drove to my vet 40 miles away crying all the way. My rescue Cairn terrier could not walk, stumbled all over was weird. I was sure she was going to be gone. BUT alas the vet said she has a spinal disc out of place. Will take months in a crate, out long enough to eat and go potty. She is taking it well. She is only 6. I got here 3 years ago and she has been a perfect match for me and my yellow lab as we lost Roger and our older little dog soon after. It has made me think of my Roger, thinking of how he looked, how he talked, and his mannerisms. I sit and wonder what he would be doing now. Sure wish he was here, this living alone still sucks. Have you had an event that stopped you to pause and reminisce?
In answer to your question......no specific event comes to mind, but after 20 months, I find myself thinking of my husband and talking to him more and more. The pain is no longer so intense, but the loneliness and wishing he were still here is very much present. I seem to realize more each day how much he influenced my life through the years. I depended on him to think of fun things to do, etc. Life is boring now and always will be. Thankfully, I am old, so it shouldn't be too much longer................
