"In therapy today my therapist told me I need to start living my life and since I am not 100% happy I need to take risks to find that happiness.  Nothing scared me more and made me more miserable.  Sometimes I feel like I just want to be…"

"I agree as well.  I, too, am not liking this new normal in a world of couples.  As my daughter is getting older I feel my husband and I would have finally had more time for us and now I am here alone.  Stella - I can't believe…"

Hi thanks for the welcome, although it's been 4 years,I think my mind is finally coming to terms with this title of widow. I remember at Bob's funeral a friend handed me a gift, which I didn't open til a week later. My daughter and I were in my car and she noticed the bag. I opened it and said, "Oh that was so nice of ____she always makes afghans for the wi wi, I couldn't the word out of my mouth. I just threw it in the back seat. Not because I was ungrateful, I just hadn't even thought of myself in that way. Wasn't ready to deal with that reality yet. But here I am and I'm so glad I stumbled on this site. At times I isolate myself and then I start thinking that I going crazy. That my cituation is so unique and no one else understands. I know thats a lie from the pit of hell. Reading thru some of the posts here, I realize that I'm not alone and I am pretty much right where others are in this walk.
