Lily, I'm so sorry for your loss, I also lost my husband in 2011. I was lucky to have found this site just 3 weeks after I lost him. Having everyone here beside me while I travel this journey has kept me going over the past year. I hope you find the same support and understanding that I have. Welcome!
