Hi Melina, When I felt lonely and no one was around I came to this site and it was a great comfort to me. There was always someone with a kind encouraging word to get me through the hard days and nights. Mary Lou

Hi Suzanne, I didn't realize how important family was until my husband passed away. 2 Years have gone bye and I still miss him. He is the first thing I think about before I get out of bed and the last thing before I fall asleep. The first year was the hardest. I have a daughter who has kept me going.Time has made the pain more bearable. It will never be the same but I do have things to look forward to. I take one day at a time. Take care. Mary Lou

Hi Marion, I have a new friend who is 75 and she lost her husband last winter. It has been 2 years for me and we now have developed a special friendship and I think both of us can help each other. Take care. Mary Lou

Hi Melina, I know it is hard to believe but the pain does ease up. It has been 2 years for me. When I look back over the first year I was so thankful that I made it through all the hurt and pain. I do believe I am a stronger person. Yes I still miss my husband and I still cry alot but the tears are a lot less and I do feel better after a good cry.Don't try to rush through this grief journey it won't happen even if you try. One day at a time and sleep as often as you can. Lots of love and support on this site that will help you get through the days and nights. Take care. Mary Lou

Hi Kay, I think you are a very BRAVE person.You are not afraid to put yourself out there. I am still not ready after 2 years. I know your heart is breaking but you will pick yourself up again and I pray that a very special person will come your way and all the heart ache will almost seem worth it. Take care. Mary Lou

Hi Kim, Nice to hear from you. I don't post as often as I did in my early stages of grief.I have passed the 2 year mark and am doing alot better. Thank you for sharing your story with us. There are so many new people on this site. The best advise I was giving was to take baby steps and don't plan to far ahead just getting through each day can be a huge challenge. Kim, I hope your memories of the happy times with Dan will always bring a smile to your face. Mary Lou
