it has been almost four weeks since my husband passed away with no warning. I go to my granddaughters' softball games, soccer games, dance recitals, school awards programs...all the things he and I always did together. I look around and see couples and think "Why? Why are you not here?" My heart breaks again.

I'm so sorry for your loss and your pain Lady. I understand you completely. Attending events, church and even outside in the neighborhood, all couples. The depth of loss and pain is so profound. Missing them with every breath. I lost my sweet Kenny last January. You are blessed to have family close to you. Do you work, retired? Time pushes us through each day whether we like it or not. Hoping you will have more moments with your granddaughters. They tend to make the day a little more bearable. I have 2 granddaughters too. But they live 6 hours away. I'm here to listen. Hugs, Debbie
