I really don't know what to say cindyb13.  I am sorry for your loss.  I am sorry for your children's loss.  I was married for almost 30 years also.  I know you can't just give up on a person who has been such a big part of your life for so very long.  The pain you must be going through must be difficult. You did what you could.  I think death and guilt go hand and hand.  I know when anyone close to me died, I felt guilty,for could of, would of,should of.  Someone on this site told me to let go of the guilt and I did, it made me feel so much better. It is so very hard for people who have not lost their significant other to understand what your going through.  People here all have lost their love and understand.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.  I will do my best to help you.  I will send you a friend request, if you wish you can accept.

Welcome cindyb13:  I'm sorry for your loss but I'm glad you found your way to this site. I hope you will find the same comfort and understanding here at Widowed Village that I have. In the beginning I just read the blogs and posts and lurked in chat. Post and join us in chat when you feel comfortable. It is nice to be among people who "Get It".
