I am so sorry about your loss. My husband will be gone 5 years in November and it just does not seem possible, it feels like yesterday sometimes. He died one week after our 35th anniversary. I won't tell you it will be easy, it is hard, and some days are harder than others. You need time to grieve and heal. There will be days you don't want to get out of the bed, but do it. You have to go on, and keeping busy is very good. I still work, I was only 57 went he died and he would not have wanted me to wither. I have four grown sons and some amazing friends, and they have been truly awesome. They have made me get up and out. We had to cancel a cruise twice, once when he go sick and then just before he after died. My friends decided I really needed to go on that cruise and we all went, 8 of us. They let me cry and made me laugh. The captain of the ship let me put roses overboard in his memory and that help too. Take one day at a time, do what you can when you can and all of the wonderful memories you have will be there for you when you are ready for them again. They will hurt to remember at the beginning but trust me they will give you a lot of comfort. Please let me know how you are doing. You have people to talk to.
