cher2012 said… I'm so sorry for your loss, you lost your husband a day after mine. It must have been such a shock to have it happen so suddenly. My husband died of cancer, and suffered for more than a year, but, even though we knew he was dying, nothing can prepare you for the finality of death. I also attended a griefshare group, and got the workbook, but there was only one other person in the class who had lost her mother, so I stopped going. I did find the readings helpful though. Take care and take it one day at a time...

Lynne said… So sorry for your loss and our situations do sound pretty similar. It is so hard with almost everything when you've shared everything with your partner for so long, isn't it? There's just nothing that isn't somehow connected. My grown daughter does live very near me and that's been a great help, as we spend lots of time together. I look forward to getting to know you better and, hopefully, we can help each other through this difficult time. Thanks for the friend request and letting me know a bit about your situation. L.
