I am so very sorry for the loss of your husband. I wish I had adequate words in my vocabulary to tell you how sorry I am.

All I can advise you is to take it one day at a time. One minute, one hour, one day at a time.

You are in my prayers.

Hi Geri,

I'm so sorry your husband passed. You are strong and will
put the pieces of your life back together albeit a few of them
will be missing. There is no time frame on all of this - people
process grief in their own way but it will get better.

I posted something on the Grief and Bereavement board that
might be helpful when you are ready. The guys seems really good
and discusses many things that you are facing or will face.

Hang in there and know you've got friends here,

I lost my husband two years ago. I can well remember those first few weeks of grief. I definitely had the fog of grief. This is not something you will get over, it is something you will learn to live with. It takes time, though, and sometimes outside help or meds. Try not to be too hard on yourself. This is a real blow. You are facing many changes. I'll never forget the first time I had to mark the widow box on a form. So many things will hit you. Sometimes they are little things, sometimes big ones. I have pretty much given up cooking. I go out to lunch almost daily either with friends or my iPad. It was just too painful to cook for one all the time or sit at the dining table by myself. Give yourself time. Find your own way to grieve. Lean on friends and family. Take care, Fay
