I've been pretty vigilant since Gary died, seemingly always on the watch for things that might make me cry, things that might make me run, things that might make me look a right idiot in public.
I've become been pretty good at being normal on the outside if I do say so myself.…

Hi Old55,
Welcome. I know you will here it said many times, but I am glad you found us and sad that such a sad situation brings you here. I lost my husband last year, too; actually it was a year ago this Sunday. I found this place after two months and I cannot believe that I have been here ten months. It has been so good for me and I treasure having a place where people really understand what you are going through.
i am going to friend you. you can accept if you want.
Warmly,
Suz
