  Am I the only one who struggles with Sunday nights?  And days like Mother's Day?  By 4pm today I was searching for everything and anything that might help me shake the sadness that was setting in.  Mary has been gone for just over 4 months.  Most days I would say I am getting better.  Sometimes I am driving home from work and realize that I was really engrossed in work that day.  Like I had purpose and focus.    And that seems to be happening more.But for whatever reason, Sunday...

  I have been reading a book I find helpful. You might too. About a year before Mary passed, a friend of mine gave Mary a book of passages. They were short daily reads, mostly biblical. I was not particularly spiritual but Mary would ask me to read a couple most nights as we went to bed. After she gets passed, another friend recommended the book A Last Will and Testament of a Lover.
