  1. You get through because you have to. You are right; your children, family, and friends need you to live. It is hard, I know. My husband died last October. He called me at work to tell me he had chest pains and had seen the doctor. An hour later I was told to meet the ambulance at the hospital. He died at work and could not be revived. I know you are angry with the medical care your husband was given; I totally understand. It seems they should have been saved. But they weren't, and we have to move on. It has been 7 1/2 months for me, and though I don't cry every day, I still break down and feel like I wish I was with him, wherever that is. Today I started cleaning the garage for the first time since he died, and it was so strange to not be able to ask him 'what is this for?' I want to talk to him all the time, and am often startled to remember I can't. I guess what I am saying is that it is a long process, and you are not alone. The grief does not go away, nor do you want it to go away completely. Sometimes I feel guilty when I am happy, or when I make plans that I look forward to even though he won't be with me. But I know he would want me to enjoy my life. I try to honor his memory with funny anecdotes with friends and private thoughts of happy times. It is hard, but it will get better.
