Why is it that people seem so smug and think that the love of their life will never die?

Why is it , that people seem to think that it can never happen to them, the love of their life will never die.

I was also asked ;why are you still wearing your wedding ring? and isn't it about time you started going on a dating website ?

My Roger is the love of my life , or should i say was, he only died in November 2009, nearly 3 months ago, he was so brave , we were married for nearly 39 years, we had so many plans for our retirement, we did everything together, we never went out without kissing one another ,

I promised him I would be O.K, that i would carry on caravanning and i would stay cheerful , but it's so hard. You put this brave face on to go out, but your heart is broken. i have to push myself to do everything.

When does it stop hurting?

Anyone out there know? regards Mary

My dad died in 1983 when mum and him had been married for 27 years. My mum still wears her wedding ring 26 years later and says that dad was, and is, the one and only love of her life. Ignore those people who obviously have no understanding of what you are going through. Take care of yourself and give yourself as much time as you need! Caroline XX
