Brad, So true, so true. Hope it will change with time.

Polly, I am so sorry to see that you have need to be here with the rest of us. I can't say that there is anything to take the pain away, but here you are with others that share and feel the abyss that you are in. I lost my sweetheart, the love of my life just seven weeks ago. Searching for a reason to go on living and so far, failing. The only positive that I have is that as each second, minute or hour goes by, I am that much closer to being with her. For me too, there is no place to "go from here". Love and prayer to you Polly.

Patty65, This post is my first on this board also. Just registered yesterday, but have spent hours reading here. Because of my reading posts hour after hour here, I am suggesting to you that you have come to a good place. I lost the love of my life seven weeks ago. We too have a business, and I really do not want anything to do with it at this time, but shan't let it go because of all the memories of us working together to build it. I have hired help to do what I used to. My participation is now limited to decision making. Your story sounds much like mine. My heart goes out to you and I pray that you can find your way not day by day but minute by minute. This is hell what we are going through. An exerpt from my journal today: Another day. Starting feeling exhausted (the new "normal"). A deep sadness has permeated my soul. This pain hurts so bad, crashing in without warning, ripping at my heart. I moan and wail and cry. Exhaustion and numbness set in, and then the pain comes crashing back again. Over and over and over and.... Prayers and love to you Patty65.
