I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss. You will be in my prayers that God ease your pain and soften your burden. My husband has been battling cancer for almost a year now and although he is still with me, the ups and downs of this battle has me sometimes frightened I will lose him and I can only describe those moments as terror. My heart breaks for you and please know you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

My father died about 1-1/2 years ago. My mother goes to a group grief counselling session 2 days a week. She is a regular at church, and is surrounded by family. She still struggles daily, but we all are truly assured that my dad is in heaven.
1 day at a time. Get in a group with fellow widows and widowers, and pray.

Vigilanteman, I’m so sorry for your loss. Honestly, in time the pain still comes in waves. Learn to ride the waves. Whatever works, do it. Don’t judge yourself for working if that passes the time and numbs the pain. Being an introvert is fine. Learn to be comfortable with it - accept your Self. Pray.

SAM, you could easily paraphrase Alice Roosevelt:

'IF YOU CAN’T SAY SOMETHING GOOD ABOUT WOMEN, SIT RIGHT HERE BY ME.'

(Have as happy a New Year as a bitter old man can, Dear.)
