    Thanks

    I am finding the idle time is very difficult as well.  I am trying to start living again, it is just hard.

    I found this song the other day.

    I found this song the other day and it speaks to me about the loss of my wife. I'm sure it can speak to others.

    David died 4/4/13

    My husband died on April 4.  It all happened so fast and I am so very sad to have lost the man I loved.  He was right with the Lord and he was ready to go home.  It was very hard to let him go, but I knew I had to.  The cancer was everywhere.  Sounds like we have so much in common Suz.  I could have written your post.

    I'm sorry for your loss

    I'm sorry for your loss Vivian.  I know it's hard.  Good days and bad and you just never know what will trigger the emotions.    The fog will lift slowly.  You will get better and move on eventually. I keep telling myself that over and over.  Hang in there.  How are you doing now?
