My hope is you are surrounded by the love and comfort of family and friends and that the peace of your memories gentle your grieving heart.

Take good care of yourself and know you have many people here who join you in this sadness.

Blessings ~ Nancy

While different; after losing my mom (a caring, visually creative, and interesting person) I said to myself...
She wouldn't want me to be too sad for too long.

It was tough for a while, but I think my thoughts helped.

Cherish your memories!

You know where to find us.

After the first push after loosing, spouses are at increased risk for the first year after being widowed, especially as a man. Most of the risk is the first six months. And be thankful she didn't have to loose you, but please take your time and take care. Glad to hear from you, first time I ever hit the suscribe button on here.
