Widows & Widowers Support Group
This community is dedicated to those who have lost a husband, wife, or partner. Anything is open for discussion here, with the hope that we can focus on grief, bereavement, life after loss, and continuing on after a great loss.

On one of her cards she wrote "If you live to be 100, I wish to live one day less so I do not have to live one second of my life with the pain of missing you."
So from your wisdom Darcie, I think you maybe right, perhaps I am more able to handle missing her than to have the burden of her missing me. I would never want her to feel as alone, sad and lost as I do. Damn, where is that box of tissues!
Thank you for a great perspective.
I still haven't taken down Christmas. Tomorrow I go back to work.
Anyway, I know how you feel....after more than half our lives with our spouses, it is hard. And sad. Keep putting one foot in front of the other.
