I lost my husband April 22, 2014, and it does get easier. I can't tell you that it will be the ;same, because that is not possible. Can life be full and complete again; yes it can. My late husband and I were very close, it seemed unimaginable that I would ever feel whole again. What helped me, was the realization that I was still the same person and loved the same things as I always had. The loss of my husband did not take away from the person that I was. I still loved the sound of the rain on the roof, the first days of autumn, and all the things that Charlie and I used to do together. I love life, and continue to find it adventurous and full of endless possibilities. Charlie lives deep inside me and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been. It sounds as if you have a good support group and a clear sense of who you are. Please take care, and know he is with you. Again, I promise you, it does get better.

Hi T, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how your heartaches. As you can see, you will receive support here and you will find friendship as well. I have been widowed twelve years but I never forget the friends who helped me through the grief. I try to lend support and assurance that it will be better in time. A bereavement group can help very much. Hope Hospice meets weekly.
Try to take the best care of yourself that you can. Eat healthy food. Exercise helped me . I found when I was exercising, I wasn't crying. I have a full life now though I continue to carry my husband in my heart. always. Wishing you strength and peace. May the Love of God be with you always. Brighter days are ahead. Love and Hugs, Dolores
