How long has it been for you?

This is my first time posting. My 42yrold husband died a year and a half ago from a sudden heart attack even though he was very fit and healthy. I didn't anticipate Easter being difficult this year. I don't think of Easter as a real family day, just a religious day. I don't have kids, so that might be why. Anyway, one neighbor invited me to their house for brunch, and another invited me for dinner. I was busy until 7pm. It didn't matter that I was with anyone during the day. I came home and felt even more alone because of the contrast from the rest of the day. I am learning after almost a year and a half that spending time with others does not lessen the pain, but it adds to the healing. Someday, the healing will outweigh the pain. Right now, it still seems like it happened only a few months ago. I'm sorry the day was so hard for you.
