Actually all afternoons are bad but I feel the loss of my late wife the worst on Sunday. Spend a lot of time YouTubing on Sun. afternoons. Today, Linda Ronstadt's "Long Long Time" really brought on the water works.

For me, it is the afternoons, when I leave school to come home. I hate coming home. It's like his not being here is the giant elephant in the room. No one is supposed to notice but it is staring us right in the face. I have given up on my old hobbies as they don't bring me the comfort and joy they did before. It's funny, some things I do on purpose in remembrance of him and find strength in it, but those ordinary day to day things we used to do for us are harder. It is a difficult journey, creating a new life for yourself when the one you had was so perfect, but that is what we must do now. Keep trying different things until you find something that brings you comfort and someday maybe even joy. My prayers are with you.

For me it is Sunday mornings. He started work early during the week and the weekends mornings were our time together. My husband made amazing Sunday breakfasts and my dad would come over. I'm trying to continue the tradition especially when my kids are home. Blessings to you.

Weekends are a drag. I feel your pain. We always drank coffee in bed on the weekends. Just chatting. So lonely. Miss him so much. 30 years of marriage is a lifetime and now I feel like everyone keeps saying you will be fine, time will make it better and so on. I know I will manage but I just want to scream sometimes...... Take care :-)
