Hi it is 2 years today since my husband passed away I just don't know where time as gone, I don't post much now but I do visit this site every day and read all the post's, I can say it gets easier the pain is not as bad now and you do get on with life although looking back to the 1st year I didn't think it was possible, I'm still working full time and I think that as helped me through and with the help of my family, I don't know what this year will bring but now I feel I want to move forward and have some fun in my life, but at 61 not sure that will happen, but you never know.
Take care everyone.
Mary
Hello Mary I like that you pop back in to the site 2 years later. You're proof by experience shows that things can get better in time. Today marks 39 weeks since Colin died and I still struggle every Sunday remembering his last hours. I visit the grave everday but come home to an empty house the long dark nights don't help! The boredom is doing my head in at times I work part time, usually 8.30-2, 3 days a week, wander around the shops a bit (!!) and go to the cemetery 3ish for an hour or so. Roll on the lighter nights please!!
