LaurieR said… Hello olivia1972. I am so sorry for your loss. I never really know what to say but welcome to this site. 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. Your husband adult son is hurting and he can never understand that you lost your HUSBAND, your other part. His adult son will never understand until he goes through this. I am so sorry that your stepchildren are treating you so unfairly. But please feel free to come and vent about them anytime. 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

I joined here 3 weeks after Tom passed and I can honestly say that this site saved me. There were groups in my area but none that catered to working people. You are at such an early stage, just take a minute at a time, baby steps. I can't say it gets easier but for some reason we seem to be able to deal a little better. Hugs!

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"
