Dusky: Thank you for your thoughtful insights. My 38 year old husband died December 7, 2005 - just 70 days after being diagnosed with stage IV gastric cancer. Life is unbelievably difficult and my grief immeasurable. I have never loved a person so deeply, so unconditionally, so immensely as I loved (and still love) him. We often told each other we couldn't imagine living without each other. Now I am here living the unimaginable. It is helpful to know that others not only make it through the grief process, but come out with something - some energy, some thought, some thing of value. It is helpful because right now I see no value in anything. Thank you for spending the time to write. Lisa
