(596 posts)manifests so physically, too. Losing your spouse is a whole different kind of grief. I actually made myself a sign that said Dont go looking for something big; get through the day; get through the night. I hung it up by my computer. My heart just aches knowing what he is facing. Gentle hugs to you, kentuck🩷

(10,439 posts)Every morning we get news of the most recent erosion of our great society.
Kentuck, despite the lessening of grief of my hubby's passing a year ago, knowing he doesn't have to see America sink to Fascism is somewhat comforting.
Sending you a big hug,

(114,681 posts)The good memories of a lifetime spent getting to know someone crowd out the bad memories of the end of that lifetime.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
