it has been almost 18 months since my darling Wife passed away. If anything the second year seems worse than the first. I try not to wallow or give into self pity but it is a struggle. I am so tired all the time and I feel guilty just sitting doing nothing but sometimes that is just what I do. I still cannot believe my wife is no longer with me, although I hope we will be reunited in the end. I have a most wonderful son and daughter-in-law and four cats whom I adore but with all that life seems just so pointless. I think I have been doing reasonably well up to now but I feel my strength to go on is just ebbing away. I know you are all the same and my heart goes out to each and everyone of you.
