My husband died June 7. It was a relief because he had suffered so long. I still feel like my life is in limbo and still revolves around him. I miss him terribly, but when do I feel like I have a life back again? My kids and friends have been wonderful and I keep busy but something is missing. This is the second time I have been through this but I don't remember feeling like this before unless it's because my kids were at home then and I focused on them. I would welcome any comments. MA

    I'm sorry you've had to wait so long for a reply. People so often don't know what to say to someone who's been bereaved, so they don't say anything.

    You've been through such a lot, being widowed twice. I hope you're feeling better now; it must be awfully hard. Take good care of yourself.

    Thank you for replying. I am much better now that the holidays are over with. I still don't know where I'm headed with my life. I go to the grief support group which has been a big help to me. Thanks for caring. MA
