  I have lost two spouses to cancer, 6 years apart. I am tired of people telling me to read scripture, pray, (I do pray) and to be patient. I am tired of hearing my moms voice, almost 60 years later telling me how I should feel grateful for the trials. (No, I'm not schizophrenic) I am tired of fearing my pastor's words of concern that I am dating a woman who does not share my faith, while he gets to drive home to his wife and family.
