  1. I'm so sorry for your loss and the horrible pain you're feeling. I'm new to this board and reluctant to post because my Richard died in June, 2002. Yes, I should be "over it" by now as so many have said, but I'm not. I hope my presence here doesn't depress too many of you. The 24/7 makes it especially hard, doesn't it? Richard was retired and I'm a freelance artist working at home so, like you, we shared every moment. I wish I could tell you it gets better, but I haven't experienced that part yet. This may seem strange to some who haven't been there, but I'm finding that our relationship, though transformed, continues. I've done all the things you're supposed to do--I've looked for a job, volunteered, found a church, joined groups, taken classes--but the reality of life doesn't change. The one thing that seems to help me, and I'd really recommend it to you, is to write letters. Tell Brandy all the things you never had the time to say when you believed time was endless. I've been doing this for 18 months and it's allowed me to release feelings that I think would have destroyed me otherwise. I'm starting my 6th journal this week. All I can say is that you're not alone, even though it feels that way.
